I'm gonna sell some pipe tobacco

Post by Kip » Sat May 02, 2015 8:46 pm

I am about to go through my cellar once again. I plan on selling off a hefty proportion of pipe tobacco - in jars this go-around. I'll pretty much have the whole gamut of blends - English, Balkan, Virginia, Virginai/Perique. Most everything - even a couple aromatics maybe. Anybody interested in any of it? Once I go through and sort out what I need to get rid of, I'll post a list. All of it was put into the jars between Jan 2004 and June 2010 - so nothing is less than 5 years old.

NOW, the caveat...when I put it into the jars, my plan was for this to be for my own consumption. So, there are no "official" or "accurate" measures of weight when I did it. I know that depending on the cut and blend, most of my halfpint jars hold about 2-3.5 ounces of a given tobacco (by weight). I typically marked what I *thought* it to be at the time (for example, if I was jarring 8 oz., I cut it into four eye-ball equal sections and put it away). However, I can't weigh it now without opening the jar and compromising the aging process....so caveat emptor.

I will be picking some random number for a price, but it appears most new premium pipe tobacco with no age runs about $2.50-4.00 per ounce. I'm going to arbitrarily say the risk on weight (disadvantage) and healthy bit of age (advantage) are going to offset and price it roughly akin to today's prices - maybe $3-ish per ounce. One ounce = about 12-15 bowls at one hour apiece (heck of a bit cheaper than cigars, eh?).

If there isn't any interest here, I'm going to post up on a couple pipe forums I used to frequent.

Good thing I've already sold over 150 tins last year, or this would get complicated....

I'm interested too, Kip.

I'd take $50 worth of whatever you recommend. You know I'm too much a noob to have a preference yet. Just broaden my horizons. Oh, do I have permission to repost this on another tobacco forum I'm on?
