About 15 lbs. Just when I think I have a truly ridiculous amount, I turn my back and the hoard grows (and my wallet shrinks).
How Much do You Keep on Hand?

Given the deepening Tobacco Apocalyse there is no number big enough to express how much tobacco I would hoard.
Seeing as tobacco is all but disappearing and will disappear sooner than later I need to get on the hoarding wagon. 13lbs isn't gonna cut it long term.
IF they ban internet sales, then folks will simply have to call their favorite blenders and order via phone. If they ban phone orders, and since I live within 1 hour of 2 fantastic tobacconists (Watch City and Peretti's), I will have my new source of income as buyer and shipper. 
Jars in the dishwasher on Sanitize. Bags at the ready. Let the collaring continue.
Currently about a 2 year supply but I'm adding to it as fast as I can...
Quite the haul! I think that represents more than I currently have cellared myself, most of that in 2oz tins, with some scattered 4 and 8oz tins and some jars of bulk. Is this all from The Country Squire? Old Toby sounds like something I ought to try some day.Jars in the dishwasher on Sanitize. Bags at the ready. Let the collaring continue.
40 lbs. but i need to get to 200 or so to guard against the us government.
Flying to Colorado to clear some trees on my mother in-laws property for 2 weeks.
This is what I'll have on hand. ?

Not sure on the total. More than I could smoke in my lifetime. I stopped purchasing tobacco in June 2020.
I have alot "more than some, less than some" cellared but i read " on hand " as what I'm going to smoke within a short period of day's.?
I haven’t gone quite that far yet, but I’m trending in that general direction.
Just the Bag End and Old Toby are from the Country Squire. The rest are from Smoking pipes,Tobacco pipes, and Watch Cit’s.
I would heartily recommend Old Toby to any but the most extreme anti-aro smokers.
I have expended my on hand tobacco since I found agreeable bulk blends. Now I have 12 jars in rotation. Six of them are bulk blends that might have staying presence.
Since starting the pipe last year I bought various tins from my local to me pipe shop (an hours drive) Mostly Samuel Gawith’s and Peterson’s. I’ve since bought up around 10lbs from the US, all blends that I can’t get here. The price difference is significant with the average tin of 50grs costing £16 / $23 here in UK. Even with the cost of shipping I’m averaging £2.34 an oz when buying in from the US. I average a bowl a day, more so on days off and holidays.
Happy smokes

Sea level rise, probably will get soggy. Smoke for today. How in gods name did you afford 50 pounds of tobacco at age 27? You must gamble or work a good job. Lucky you.
I mean, I do have a good job, but 50lbs of Cornell and Diehl bulk (for example) would only come to about $2,000. Spread that out over five years or so, and you’re looking at a dollar a day, more or less.
I was making more money at 27 than I make these days at 59. I think he needs to double down on his 50 with the changes coming.
I'm good, probably till death, but I am a firm believer in life after death, so I keep stocking.
I hate to tell you guys but only one of you is going to be somewhere that allows smoking after you die.
A lot. Yet, ironically, not enough, while simultaneously being way more than enough.
