This forum is a retail hotbed. If you stay you will probably spend more money than you should. Members like to joke about it or toss it off as if it was nothing, bur the truth that you may well spend money that you can ill afford to lose. Happens to everyone. Happened to me.

It doesn't have to be that way, with strict limits on buying pricy pipes and how large your tobacco cellar is.

You will hear about the Tobacco Apocylypse and putting away enough to last you a lifetime. Contrast that with buying what you will smoke this month.

Doesn't have to be that way, but I fear that for most it is.

The practice of disciplined restraint above, while a practice of just-in-case sufficiency here:

I now have:
1000g Dark Flake Scented
1000g Dark Flake Unscented
2 tins Escudo 2016
1 tin Hearth and Home Latakia Something

just in case I resume smoking. I am 3 years quit and I'm still buying tobacco! But the good thing about just in case is that it ends here.

In my history there are certainly more instances of profligate spending than disciplined restraint. For instance , making poverty wages, within a period of six months, I found a way to buy two boxes of Don Carlos cigars.
