Are You Purchasing More Or Less Tobacco Currently?

[smokeyweb]

I have pumped the brakes on smoking since I am not able to quarantine, and have slowed down on my purchases quite a bit. Glad I stocked up heavy on Sam Gawith blends over the last few years, since current distribution has been disrupted. At my normal rate of consumption I am set for many years.

Going by hoosier's and others' sound logic, and an excel file I use to keep track of my stash showing me that I need $600 per year for tobacco, so yes, a lot more than buying one tin at a time

 

[prairiedruid]

I'm just buying a couple times a year during sales. Basically replacing what I'm smoking at this point. Cellar is over 50 pounds so the goal is just to maintain that level.

I've loved all kinds of puzzles from very early in my life. Erno Rubik created his first cube on my birth year (1974) so that makes it very special to me.?

I've slowed down. I have only been doing replacement purchasing (i.e., when I finish a tin I replace it. If it was good, or a regular smoke, I replace it with two tins). Hope everyone is well!

My cellar is not well stocked. I'm buying more of all types of tobacco.. If I should happen to get stuck at home, or if the stores happen to close, I've got to have my necessities.

My tobacco purchasing has been rather dormant for the past year or so. However, the beast has recently stirred and is hungry. I placed a large order this morning for some SG and McConnell blends.

My consumption rate has dropped over the past year with a new baby. I still pick up a few things here and there if there is a deal I can’t turn down or something new peaks my fancy. But I’m more or less content with the cellar for now.

Really makes no difference in my plans. I buy what I want when it is available in quantities that make sense to me.

I have sold some tobacco, some as recently as this last weekend, but that is normal, for me, spring cleaning, accentuated by switching some stuff from jars to Mylar for space reasons. Everything I listed sold out in about 24 hours, which is about normal, so I will keep doing it. If it doesn’t sell, no harm in keeping it.

Stocked up right now so Less but MORE on bourbon.

Wow, that's amazing!

You just have to memorize some simple algorithms. Really, if you put in the time, you’d be able to solve it.

I certainly can’t solve it as fast as Embers though, that’s impressive! I just got hooked on them a few months ago and I can get it solved in under 3 minutes, sometimes 2. I have a lot of time on my hands at work though and these puzzles are good for keeping my hands busy when I can’t smoke.

My vote was less. I don't think it's because of the Covid-19. I had tapered off because I was buying way more than I was smoking, before the virus issue arrived. However, I recently ordered ounce size bulk of old C&D favorites on sale. I couldn't resist. I think I could coast for about five years. Right now not smoking much. I guess I'm wary.

 

[PaulTheScandinavian]

kind of a light side, mostly been doing replacement purchasings but if funds allow, I'm planning on increasing during the spring-summer season

 

[cigrmaster]

I am fortunate my cellar was built a while ago and I have plenty of pipes. I would not spend a dime on anything but the essentials to live until this virus is controlled or burned out.

 

[chicagopiper74]

FWIW adding to favorites rather than new blend exploration.

 

[BlueMaxx]

I guess it appears as if I am stocking up, but as a beginner in the hobby/lifestyle or whatever you call it, I did not have a cellar.
After selling off my woodworking shop I kind of went nuts having a little "expendable income" an am slowly amassing a decent cellar.

 

[Jaylotw]

I’ve spent my entire yearly tobacco budget in the last two weeks, more just on impulse than any other reason. Well, I joined this board, and that made me want moar.

 

[josephcross]

This is where all of my cash is going now.

Glad youre still going at the cubes and puzzles. Currently working on a megaminx I got for my birthday.

Im still buying tins, though I seem to be putting more of my tobacco money into my favorite cigars. Ive definitly got enough to last me quite a while. It may not outlive me, but I certainly have enough to last me a long time.
