My better half spotted my tobacco stash and exclaimed “the pile is so large I can’t jump over it” to which I wrongly answered “you’ll need to take a longer run up”. Now the dog wants to know when I’m moving back into the human house………………..
Is There a Cure for TAD, or Am I Doomed?

…but what if you’re never done?!
In all seriousness, I’m blessed to be able to afford acquiring blends I intend to smoke well into the future. Once I reach retirement in a few years, I’m expecting more blends I truly enjoy to not be available or so expensive that buying tins would crush my pension.
May I suggest payday loans before the kidney.Only when you run out of money, maxed out your credit cards,
and the banks refuse to extend your line-of-credit
You can, of course, appeal to your local loan-shark
Or sell a kidney.
When I reached a cellar weight of five times my body weight I stopped. I also got to a point when I found that there wasn't enough of a difference between blends in the same genre to warrant my interest in purchasing.
I think you might be on to something here….. cold turkey on reading forums for almost a year or so, just happily smoking through blends and my cigars while in the back of my mind I knew I needed a restock of some bulk but put it off….
Then finding out Sutliff was no more when I couldn’t find any in stock anywhere brought the sense of urgency back when I ultimately found out what happened with Sutliff and Mac Baren.
Kind of went a little wild this last month with around 15 lbs purchased between bulk and tins. I think I’m good for the time being until the next Stokkebye sale
Smoke once a day. Or buy a small pipe and still smoke once a day. Its not a sign of bravery to smoke 100 gram a week, but to see how long you can make said 100 grams last
Doomed. Unless you call it "retirement planning", which sounds more respectable, and in which case the cure is retirement.
Ha ha, you jinxed yourself
at least it's an enjoyable doom, especially with holiday blends being released
I don't know what TAD is... I have tobacco investment disorder for sure... but I have no clue what you people are talking about.
That's just how folks have been conditioned as consumers. It can be unlearned.
Unfortunately this affliction has a high potential to be terminal. Based upon your description of symptoms, I would conclude you are in the same circumstance as I, DOOMED. I will have to live to 310 to smoke what I currently have and I still continue to buy occasionally. My lack of self control is pathetic and I am ashamed. However, I am pathetic and ashamed with damn fine tobacco.
Almost t but when it's trained to a pathological level over the generations, simply having something becomes a vital aspect of life for most.
It's also worsened by the supply chains that seem created to solely force bulk purchasing on someone. And furthermore the lack of actual social interaction makes it worse.
Once if you had a tin of tobaccy that tucked you could give it to someone. Now the lack if actual interaction causes mental suffering because we're trained not to throw it out but trained to save it and muddle out what 20$ tin or 60$ a pound bulk blend could be bought to mix with that unwanted pouch of sir Walter to make it smokeable.
