How Many "Pipefuls"

[luigi]

I have just done some math for fun to see how many pipefuls would I smoke out of each pipe if I smoked all the tobacco from the cellar. My pipes in average take about 3 grams of tobacco, I own 15 pipes and around 8kg of tobacco. To smoke it all each pipe would be smoked 177 times. I realised I need more tobacco.
How many pipefuls would your pipes take with your current stash of tobacco?

5 ?

Too much thinking. I'll know when I'm done.

Nobody told me there was going to be a test!

Hmmm...I'm not sure. I only stock one tobacco, Visions of Celephais. And I only smoke one bowl of that per day. So with 30 cans, and counting, it would take me quite a long time ?

My others I buy as needed.

I have absolutely no idea. I'm not even totally sure how many pipes I have. I also don't know exactly how much tobacco I have. I have boxes full of tobacco stashed away along with many, many tins and a ton of jars. I do know that I roughly get 25 bowls per 50 gram tin. That's as close as I can get.

Frickin 9 million and a half.

Frickin 9 million and a half.

That's a good ratio. ?

I smoke about 10 or 12 bowls a day and I figure I have about 20 lbs of tobacco at home.... so, if you wish, you can figure it out.

 

[Streeper541]

I smoke about 10 or 12 bowls a day

Wow... and I thought I was a heavy pipe smoker at 4-6 bowls a day.
I wanna be like Searock when I grow up.

Not really knowing how many pipes I have, nor how much pipe tobacco I have…. the number of variables and their variability itself is too much for my nicotine-addled brain to contemplate. ?

I HATE maths ?

I have 90 pipes so 2195 pipe fills for now.

A load! And that's just a starter...?

Let's see...
57 pipes x 3g per pipe = 171 grams

I have a small cellar. Approximately 5868 grams total (if I did the math right)
Therefore, I would have to smoke each pipe approximately 35 times to smoke through all the tobacco I currently have on hand. That means, if I smoked one bowl a day, it would take me 1,995 days or roughly 5.4 years to smoke everything.

Of course, that doesn't take in other variables such as how much new tobacco I acquire in a year (on avg. about 4 lbs. per year)

Wow! "2195", that's my lucky number. What a small world.

42.

Math works of you never spill or just throw away tobaccos. Heck, I end up with more spilled than in my pipe most of the time. Sometimes I get sick of a tobacco and just throw it away, or gove tins away like cigars when a baby gets squirted out. I have well over 400 pounds pf boended tobacco and just about as much homegrown waiting to be blended. Hell, it’s pipe tobacco, the cheapest shit in the world. I spill it as I walk to and fro. It’s not like the stuff is valuable or anything.
