Wow, I feel better! Barely over 60 pounds — about as much as I can smoke if I smoke two 2g bowls every day for the next 25 years. I’ve actually managed to start parting with some of my stash. I just sold a bunch of vintage Dunhill tins and a number of excess Esoterica bags through Steve (Pipestud) Fallon. Super easy to work with, gets a good price, charges a fair commission, and pays very quickly. Highly recommended... as if he needed yet another recommendation.

246 tins according to my excel spreadsheet. Probably about another 5 pounds of bulk in jars. I'd like to think that I'm done cellaring but will probably slowly add a bit more over time. It really feels good to know that I can smoke in comfort for decades regardless of what happens tobaccopocalypse wise.

Best estimate would be about 9lbs amassed over the last 5 months. That, at my general rate of about 5 bowls/week, give or take, should last me on the order of 7 years or so. I'm still adding, but I'm going to be doing it with sales, and when various unobtainium briefly becomes obtainium.

I've always found these types of threads fascinating. I've got right around 60 pounds now. So, somewhere between way too much and not nearly enough - tough call.

Best answer so far, Tim!

My cellar is technically completed. If the FDA shuts it all down tomorrow, I have achieved my goal. Approx. 65#

Starting my pipe collection since March I've accumulated about 3Lbs in tins and about 1Lb in my rotation.

Now that I've started to realize which blends I like and types of tobacco, I'll probably stocking up more on those particular candidates.
I smoke probably 4-5 bowls a week so even what I have now should last me a few years, which is fine. I don't plan on hoarding more than 15Lbs at any time. As much as an investment it might be, I'd rather collect pipes too!

About 15lbs, and increasing slowly but surely, not including the bulks I use strictly for current blending. At my rate of smoking ~25 years. I want to get at least 10 more pounds

Maybe 40 lbs. most of which is sealed tins but I’ve got 5 lbs of Shortcut to Mushrooms and a few pounds of some other bulks.

I would guess around 30 lbs. I buy when sales come on and like to get tobaccos that I have not tried. Currently at 120 different tobaccos.

So, I broke down and tackled the inventory today, as my wife left after 3pm for a music show and I had the joint to myself.
I came up with about 39# in tins (50g, 100g and 8oz various) and about 45# in bulks jarred. At my consumption rate of 9g per day +/-, I have about an 11 year stash.
Not bad for a 16 month effort. Another year of casual acquisition should get me to the senility years.

Traditionally, any time up to the Sanctus.
Oh. Sorry. I dont have a cellar. I buy two tins or 5 ounces of bulk a week. Which is also probably traditional.

Getting to the point that if the pending Zombie Apocalypse occurs I will be fine in terms of tobacco. That's my goal!!

About five pounds, if that, which at a bowl or two a day, with days off, will last for years. Just took on a pound of D&R Two Timer. I have several large tins or tubs, and many small tins.
