Seeing all these post about smoking once a week makes me think I smoke to much. I smoke all day everyday.
As little as I buy, I buy more than I smoke, so it accumulates.
Not sure, but it weighs more than I do and I'm 175.
Last time I did the math I calculated my supply should last until I am in my mid to late 140’s.
That is assuming I don’t begin to slow down in my 120’s.

Without question I have more than a lifetime supply of cigars. Doesn't mean I won't ever buy more, but I'm not willing to develop more storage space, so I'll be maintaining equilibrium and occasionally adding variety. And I've got a good several years' worth of pipe tobacco stored away. By the end of the summer, I'll have several more -- enough to carry me into my 70s anyway, I figure, if I make it that far. And that'll have to be good enough.
There are so many blends I haven't tried yet. Keep getting new blends to smoke along with things I'm cellaring. So far, only opened same blend tin twice. Things I keep on hand for smoking are all in jars and I only keep 7 blends in jars. And they are never same. And OTC. Smoking only one or two bowls a day, they last for long time.
With the ability of our current government to deliver heehaw I’m not massively worried for now by that either. I think the tax raising power that tobacco has in this country will keep it around although it maybe become more expensive as a deterrent.
They have done a similar thing with minimum pricing of alcohol in Scotland and also banned multi-buy deals to help tackle alcoholism. The statistics aren’t massively supportive of it as a method.
I currently have time to build what I can afford to cellarwise before that’s even a thought. I don’t rationally (sorry @BROBS) see a need to panic buy yet.
That’s a lot of damning circumstances for an increase in smoking. But understandable.
I've got about a year's supply of stuff. I do add to it occassionally but not often. Being 74 gives a certain perspective on this issue.
Its a juggling act. I still have fears of my favorite brands going under. RIP Carter Hall and Prince Albert, So I hoard a few tubs of favorites
I order up every couple of months so, a couple of months worth of my usual blends.
I thought I heard recently that someone called the manufacturer of Carter Hall who confirmed it was not going away? If I'm remembering correctly they may have said it would only be in tubs and not in the smaller packaging though.
Dang..you guys got some nice little hoards there. In the event that you get raptured, please send me a quick message and I will be more than happy to loot...i mean respectfully honor your memory and relieve you of your tobaccy!
My worry is that I retire at 125 and I start smoking way more.
I hope but it has been a long time since I have seen any so I don’t have much hope
I can’t imagine living that long maybe if I was healthy
Its hard to say because my smoking habits vary week to week. Sometimes I smoke 3 times a day, sometime once. Some weeks I don't smoke for days.
So that's when you can collect SS these days... ??
