I find that I tend to go in an odd cycle. I won’t buy any pipes for a year or maybe more, but then I’ll purchase one, and several more will inevitably follow..
I purchased a Bones, and a Peterson last year, and this year its been a Briarworks Moonshine, and just now a Savinelli due to the SP promotion.
Then there is the inevitability of adding tobacco to an order each time I place one, because it would be silly not to since I’m already ordering. My modest cellar is up to 28 blends after this most recent purchase, and I only smoke a few times a week at best, and very rarely when it is too cold to sit on my porch.
