I have a lot of tobacco for my rate of consumption, though it's not a lot compared to the shelves and rooms full I've seen in Forums members' photos. Different things go wrong. You don't know what it is. You love it now, but later you really don't. You do like it, but seeing so much of it in your cellar, you lose your appetite for it. Does anyone want to think about smoking eight tins of anything, even if they end up smoking it? Much of this is knowing yourself and your habits, and your own psychology. I buy in dibs and dabs, three or four tins or bulk bags at a time, but I still buy more than I smoke over time. Buying stuff can be just for the fun of buying it, waiting for it, opening the box. The reward is when you really use and savor the purchase. You really have to work it out with yourself. It's an exercise.
