Well, I think mine would be somewhere around 25 years. Seeing as I am only 30, I had better keep building 
Likely 2-3 years if I smoked the blends I have that I preserved despite not enjoying. (Tastes can change). Btw, I am all for the more distinguished (older) gentleman leaving baccy for us whipper snappers.
Probably 3-5 years for me. However there are some blends that I would have to smoke out of desperation (about 8oz of 1Q, 16oz of Captain Black Royal etc.) but probably a good 3 years for the stuff I really enjoy.
Oh and if we're willing tobacco, can I be put on Harris' will? I'd say Peck but he's a whipper snapper like myself.

An interesting question. I am not sure how much I actually smoke. I like very small bowls on my pipes, but I have a few large ones. Some days I may only smoke one bowl, and others I might smoke ten. I have about 85 lbs, give or take a few. And, that is a guess. I have been meaning to get an inventory going. Right now, it's sort of a mess.
I'd last maybe a year? I have my wedding to pay for in May and after that the building up of my tobacco cellar and my ammo locker swing into full gear.
I'm nearing the 5 year mark. But I've found I'm getting more picky in my tastes (which happen to cost more), so I suppose building up the cellar will either cost me more per pound, or I'll increase the supply at a slower rate.

At the current rate I puff, which is about two bowls a week, I've currently got enough in my cellar to last about 125 years or so. If I pick up the pace considerably down the road I should still be covered for the duration of my life, however long that may be. I still have a couple blends on my "want list", but for the most part I'm done cellaring. The hardest part for me is having the discipline to not jump all over the good deals like I'm prone to do. The one exception I will grant myself for adding to the cellar is when I stumble upon the evasive blends that are hard to obtain. For me the hunt of finding rare blends is fun and in those instances I will probably pull the trigger without thinking twice. A big part of the hobby for me is just collecting different tins. I guess I have the collector bug in me.
