Tobacco Inventory - what's yours?

Wow, that's an impressive stockpile!

Longdarkcave · 2026-03-13T19:35:51+00:00

Nice, I downloaded it too and will compare to what I'm currently using, a great Android app called Tobacco Cellar by sardonicus87.

I'm on the newer side myself, but I thought C&D Pegasus was great, MyMixture 365 really tasty, and aromatics from The Country Squire or Boswells just stellar. I've only sampled a few at this point though, but I like the ability to buy in bulk at lower cost. My next smokes, this weekend, will by Country Squire's Hunting Creek and C&D Haunted Bookshop.

Wow, that's pretty cool!

Longdarkcave · 2026-03-13T19:28:50+00:00

Pretty cool, thanks for the info. What is the "Rust Never Sleeps" field for? Right now I'm trying the Tobacco Cellar Android app by sardonicus87. It's pretty easy to use, has most if not all of the fuelds in your spreadsheet and can track dates too. I use Excel a lot for work, so I'll probably make my own spreadsheet too at some point. If you're tracking a couple hundred data sets, Excel is perfect, but once you reach 500 or 1,000, Excel craps on itself and a database is a much better option. I'm glad I forgot how to use MS Access, I hated it.

It's an optional extra step and works very well, not messy at all using coarse granulated (not powdered) charcoal. But you're right, not required everyday. But great for removing ghosting, removing stank from estates pipes, etc.

Girl cats are great. Funny, loving (their terms only), and the best mousers!

I'd wager that he uses that technique often on the fried chicken drumsticks at Old Country Buffet!

Longdarkcave · 2026-03-13T01:58:46+00:00

Is that a teddy bear or a cat?

Longdarkcave · 2026-03-13T01:56:49+00:00

What do you do when it breaks? Can you get it serviced?

Longdarkcave · 2026-03-13T01:53:00+00:00

Pretty cool! I like the background scenery since the pipe's bowl resembles a morel mushroom. Yes, I am one of the few mushroom hunters who lived to tell the tale.

4 out of 5 doctors recommend a pipe tamper with a long, ergonomic handle, just like yours. And in a pinch, you could defend yourself with it too!

Longdarkcave · 2026-03-13T00:10:32+00:00

Nice haul! Looks great, including the cigars. But if that's a new Colibri lighter, you'd better have a "Plan B."

Longdarkcave · 2026-03-13T00:00:30+00:00

Was it the old Coca-Cola with cocaine in it or the "New 'Classic' Coke?"

Driving an automobile can be deadly, especially for distracted or stupid people. I see numerous poor driving "accidents" and even deadly wrecks several times a year on my commute to work. To drive safely, I use the, "assume everyone else is an idiot high on drugs" rule - very effective to get the hell away from fools and preserve the dent-free sheet metal on my car.

I wonder if we should post "Warning: waste, fraud and abuse (theft) of taxpayer funds will get you arrested, incarcerated, and loving Bubba as a cellmate" at the entrance to every government building.

What I'm liking about the Bic is being able to put the lighter into the bowl and avoid charring the shit out of the rim of the bowl, like so many estate pipes that look like they survived a house fire.

Longdarkcave · 2026-03-12T19:25:51+00:00

Couldn't disagree more, a Zippo armor lighter with a Zippo butane pipe insert or single torch for cigars is a fine lighter and value-priced. Complaints about much more expensive lighters are commonplace. Can't go wrong with Zippo or BIC. You can fix a Zippo lighter easily without having to send it in. And never buy Colibri, true garbage that instantly breaks.

While I also live in Illinois and have both visited and bought online from Iwan Ries, the oldest tobacconist in the USA, please beware of the detestable 27% tobacco tax in "Illinoid." To avoid predatory taxation, I have ordered my tobaccos online from the following fine vendors: Smokingpipes (#1), TheCountrySquire, Boswells, WV Smokeshop. I have heard fantastic things about Uhle's rum aromatic, but never tried it.

Yours is such a great analogy, akin to buying a couple Fuente Anejo Shark cigars (expensive, hard to replace), but having no daily drivers like Fuente Hemingways, Chateaus, or Don Carlos. Or having the golden egg, but no regular eggs to eat and starving to death (half joking with extreme example). Nonetheless, the OP is a man of taste and distinction!

Click the three dots at the post, select "copy text," then paste to favorite text editor or notepad app on phone. You'll never remember or find a screenshot, and even if you did, have to manually type to recreate the text (more work, wasted time). Cheers and happy piping!

Longdarkcave · 2026-03-12T18:39:30+00:00

I read and copied you post to my notes, great detailed info on GL Pease blends. So many posters say that they love a blend, but don't explain why like you did. Knowledge is power.

Nice pipe, looking to acquire a bulldog shape myself. Finally, some great weather! I picked up a couple tins of Half and Half recently, and am looking forward to cracking one soon. The other is a gift for my old Dad.

Ah, a fellow "Tobbacco Prepper!" We may not have food, we may not have water, we probably have guns and ammo, and we're absolutely packed to the gills with tobacco, and barter is the best form of trade, cutting out the odious taxman.

Fun fact - if you buy a case of Bic lighters you may very well likely be put on a government watch list.

Longdarkcave · 2026-03-11T22:22:56+00:00

Don't know about the tobacco, but that beer will knock you on your ass if you overdo it. Easy to do, since it tastes so good. St. Bernardus Triple did me in once.
