How Much do You Keep on Hand?

[didimauw]

"On hand"?

I always want more than I'll need with me. If I'm going to the gas station, I'll bring my leather pouch with around 4 oz in it. Just in case. There's few things in life I'll ever run out of. Tobacco is not one of them.

MMMMmmmmmmmmmm, I don't want to say anything! The wife might look over my shoulder. "YOU HAVE HOW MUCH!!!!!!!"...

I managed to sneak in 5 more pounds the other day without mine noticing....hahaha

 

[JOHN72]

My wife laughs. When you read that I only buy 16 ounces a month. Can I ever be wrong? Oh yes, and I end up buying, 80 ounces in a month...........We men are like this...???

I have about 50 lbs stored away, at last inventory. I don't smoke all that much, so I should (based on some rough calculations) be set for at least the nest 50 years. And before you laugh, I'm 27, so living another 50 years is a possibility.

Finally, another "youngster" ? I'm only 22.

Yup

The nice thing about cellaring deep is that pipe tobacco holds its value extremely well so its almost risk free. Even if you decide to quit one day you can probably recover your money. The only real risk is if selling tobacco is outlawed which could make your stash either worthless or priceless, depending on how you look at it.

I'm making baby steps now, still trying different blends to see what I like where I can see a pattern allready. I intend to pick a few blends, probally 5 or 6 different ones I like and stock them monthly to get a "aged" inventory. I do also think we will turn to a smoke free society in the Netherlands (the benefits in taxes outweigh the costs in Healthcare, even in our insurance system) so I hope I can get enough stock to keep on smoking.

Sent Jamie 1/2 packet of Captain Black Gold today as a present.
Just got time for another clay bowl - not smoking anything tomorrow or Tuesday!
Got a parcel collection on Tuesday; not spending anything in the next 2 weeks!

I’ll need more next weekend ?

I recently sent pipestud about 25 lbs of tobacco and I think I've still got a hundred lbs or so in the closet, so I'm probably good for the rest of my life.

 

[The Clay King]

I don't think I'll have to buy any this year!

With some serious TAD this month I think I’m just passed the 40lb mark. With August coming sooner rather than later I’m going to use it as an excuse to add about 10 more pounds of favorites and a couple oz here and there of blends I’ve always wanted to try (I’m coming for you WCC). Once we see what comes our way that will likely change the course of my spending, for better or worse.

but just incase I have a “Doomsday” shopping cart full to the brim ready to press checkout at a moments notice.

I’ve made up a spreadsheet of what I’ve purchased since making pipesmoking a hobby over 3 years ago and calculated I have about 32 months left before my supply goes dry (if I continue at my current pace).

That accounts for probably a dozen and half tins and nearly as many jars of cellared bulk.

But if the winds of the tobaccopocalypse start up again, I’m sure my hand will be forced to further beef up my supply.

 

[jrharrigan]

i'm sure many of you have run the math, so...

if i smoke 1-3 bowls a day, how many pounds a year am i consuming?

3-9 lbs ish? 15-20 bowls per 2oz tin?

The shit winds are blowing, my friend. It's not ALL marketing.. stuff's out of stock everywhere.

There's approximately 2 grams per bowl. That is 25 bowls per 50 gr tin. At 3 bowls per day, you're consuming 6 gr per day or 2.19 kg per year or 4.83 pounds. 1 bowl per day would be approximately 1.61 pounds per year, 2 bowls per day would equate to 3.22 pounds per year.

Sounds like you should cellar 4 lbs per every year you want to smoke into the future.

 

[bullet08]

Been packing lighter lately. Seems to give better flavor. I really should weight it next time.

 

[depriest1022]

You got like just 4 months until deeming day. Now is not the time to piddle. If your not taking this seriously and piddling around, then step aside while the big boys load up. Because in just a few months you might not be able to.

What is deeming day?

You can telling by the question that I am new to all things tobacco related
