I Think I'm On To Something Here...

[gervais]

This post may piss some people off. This post may open some eyes. Maybe I'm just crazy, who knows.
I have realized that tobacco is indeed a sound investment. I have seen tins (limited edition) on here sell at 3 times the price, even with very little age on some of them. I have seen tins with 5+ years go for 2-3x the price almost daily. So as long as there are people who smoke a pipe, tinned tobacco is a way to MAKE MONEY. If I was more of a risk taker, I'd just spend every spare penny I have on any popular brands I could get my grubby little hands on and play the waiting game.
BUT WAIT... no I probably couldn't use this as an investment opportunity. I have always been the type of person who undercharges people on side jobs and every other type of business situation in my life. I guess it takes a certain type to make money in these ways. I'm clearly not one of them. Not hating on those of you that are.....

Thanks for reading, and share your opinion on the matter

I think just normally squirrelling away blends will do this naturally. I have a fair few McClelland blends that I bought years ago when they were still common fair. I could not have known that they would get scarce, but here we are. I’m not interested to sell though. It was hard enough to get my stash into Australia, I’m not giving that away.
