Wow! I feel like I'm a pretty small fish in these waters... I thought my $20-$40 a month expenditures on tobacco was a lot. Guess not...

I usually get a half pound to a pound per month, depending on how much I am smoking. I do on occasion buy some tins or when some SG blends are available I will definitely get some as I can afford to.

As a travel'n man, finding the shops with the good stuff can be difficult. So I p/u as I roll around the country. 2 tins here, 5 tins there, some house blends to fill in the blanks. $20-$50 a month. Keeping an eye on the price helps too. A $6 difference per tin is nothing to sneeze at.

I just started smoking pipe if its any thing like my cigar buying habit then I am in trouble. My first pick up was 1 1/2 lbs so I say its the same. I guss the good thing is that I can buy a lb of the best pipe tobbacco money can buy for the same as a few cigars I think pipe smoking is going to work out just fine.

I just sprung for 500g of 1792 and back ordered 2 lbs FVF. I'll not be passed over next time it comes in.

I usually try to make a monthly purchase. I get more than I smoke and just throw it in the cellar. My purchase this month was a lb of Union Square and a lb of FVF.

I got 2 1/2 pounds from SP on Thursday and 3 1/2 pounds from P&C today, should be enough to get me through the weekend. Obviously, most of that will go in the cellar but I like to have a variety available and it's nice not to be subject to the vagaries of the retail market.

The past couple months I have upper my ordering to build my cellar. The way things are going, the day may come sooner than later when I can no longer enjoy my hobbies as often as I like, or even at all. I want to reach a point where my supply will out last me. I have been trying to add 3-5 lbs to the cellar each month. Mostly bulks, with a 5-10 varied tins each month.

I order once or so a month, and like a few others I’m trying to build up a nice stash for a couple reasons, one I like aged VA's and the other just in case someday I can't afford the high prices due to high taxing. As long as I’m here on this earth I want to be able to enjoy a few bowls a day.
Normally I order a pound of one of my favorites to cellar and several tins and or 2 & 4oz packages of something new or just a blend to spice up my regular rotation.

I ordered 6 1/2 lbs at the start of this year, to last me the whole of the year with any luck (current consumption rate it should)

Cheap? It's well over 50% tax!!! And it keeps rising.. Will light a pipe before I start foaming at the mouth lol but the average at the mo is about £5 per 25g what's the cost your end?
EDIT***
Oh wait I see what I did.. Subtract a zero from those figures! I don't think I could physically smoke 750g a week.. Will settle with 75g lol

My orders very rarely are less than $100. I like to qualify for free shipping. Here is a order I placed a few moments ago with smokingpipes.com

Just ordered this from smokingpipes.

Not including the order I placed today I have 633 tins and about 16lbs of bulk. To see what blends are in my cellar and and how much of what you can visit my website. www.otcpipes.com Just look for the cellar links.
