Only been smoking for two years and I can tell you I got two pounds for Christmas and they're gone. So I'd say about 5-7 lbs. so far.

Assumptions:
Smoking pipe since June 1, 1981

Today's date 08/19/2011

Using Excel's date function of Days360 which used a 360 day year.

Smoke approximately 3 bowls per day on avg.

There are 10 avg size bowls per ounce.

Unable to smoke pipe for random reasons about 5% of the time
Calculations:
Approx. Number of days smoking a pipe = 11,238 days (assuming given dates, and 360 day year used in Excel)

Less 5% of days not smoking a pipe = (11,238 - 0.05(11,238))days = (11,238 - 562) days = 10,676 days
10,676 days x 3 bowls/day x 1 oz./10 bowls x 1lb./16 oz. = approx. 200.2 pounds. (32,028 Bowls!)

I'd say around 2 pounds. Not more than that, though. Winter makes smoking a bit of a chore...

Using Gecko's calculation adding 20% for the extra years...
(200.2 X 20/100) + 200.2 = 40.4 + 200.2 = 240.6 LBS.... give or take a ton.

"Less 5% of days not smoking a pipe"
gawd, i cant remember a day going bye with out smoking something.....time is just a blur.
burned up a pound of mixed latakia i mixed up. probably just a little over a pound of what ever is an arm's reach. this month.
took about a quarter pound of the mix in a dark tin, put it out in the hot sun for a couple hours. smoked some next day.. not bad, not bad. little tastier that the mix.

experimenting is fun :clap:

Somewhere between 400 and 500 lbs. Trying to figure it closer than that gives me a headache.

I think the ratio is 3:1 between tobacco bought and tobacco smoked for the first few years, then closer to 1:1.
