How Long Does a Pound Last You?

[gervais]

Just curious to know how far a lb gets you, on average?

 

[Casual]

At my current rate, a couple of years.

 

[Elric]

If I smoked nothing but a single blend, a pound would last me about a year.

are you a few bowls a week kinda guy?

 

[BROBS]

Maybe 2-3 months?
This is if smoking only the one tobacco.

I smoke roughly a bowl a day. Some days are more but during the winter that balances out due to some days not smoking at all. I estimate each bowl smoked is about 3 grams give or take.

365 days X 3 grams a day = 1095 grams
1095 grams = 2.41 lbs smoked a a year.

At this rate my cellar will last me only 8 years or so

Darned empirical data! Now I have to rethink my consumption. ?

 

[Bengel]

I agree with Sean, but think I am at around Three pound/year.

Thanks, this helps alot actually. Guess I was just too lazy to figure it out that way, lol. Seeing this also stresses me out a bit, now realizing how small my cellar really is. My ultimate goal is obviously to have enough stashed away so I don't have to worry about the day tobacco becomes scarce/unobtainable for me. I just really hope things stay the way they are for a few more years. More specifically online sales and current prices

well in the last six months I have lost 20 pounds and so do the math and... Wait you mean pipe tobacco. Depends on the tobacco I guess but honestly a few months barely.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

I smoke a bit less than a pound of month.

One to two per week, with some weeks off.

 

[olkofri]

1-3 bowls per week here. I haven't even finished a 1 oz tin of the many blends I've purchased yet in 2 years of piping. At this rate...

Of late I’m running the same or worse. I’m shunted outdoors to smoke and it’s been cold and windy nearly every day, gosh dang it.

My secret Santa sent me a tin of Nightcap, which I’ve never tried before, and it’s killing me wanting to get at it.

To the original question, I’ve never calculated. @seanv looks like he’s got it!

 

[olkofri]

I'd love to be able to have 1-2 bowls per day! Living in an apartment building sux.

 

[jaytex1969]

6-7 weeks.

 

[luigi]

In average I smoke a pound in 2,5 months. I smoke 2 bowls a day.

 

[raybrown55]

More or less 40 days

 

[cigrmaster]

I smoke about a pound per month. 3-4 bowls a day with group 4-5 sized pipes most of the time.

 

[sandollars]

According to the math @ 5-7 bowls per week, plus the occasional visiting friends consumption and gifting, about 3 pounds per year.

I have about 75 pounds in my cellar and I am 59 = good to go. I KNOW this but do you think that will stop me from continuing to buy?

HALE NO! It's a sickness, I tell ya...
