I've got about 10 years' worth at my current smoking pace. Ideally I'd like to stock myself up to age 100 over time (what can I say I'm an optimist). For those of us who live in high-tax jurisdictions I don't think you can go wrong buying as much as you can afford today. As it is I'm seeing local shops selling 2022 Cringle for $75 a tin which suggests we will become Australia before we know it, and that any money wasted on tins I don't smoke will pay for themselves in future tax savings many times over.

And I though half of that was bad (it is). What part of the planet are you on?
Canada... so important to note that's equivalent to $55 USD
These are terrible pictures of about 90% of my tins. I have a dozen jars of bulk and probably a couple dozen jars of open tins laying around. Looking at my tins, it's dawning on me that this isn't really a lot of tobacco. Just looking at it, I would like more HH Burley Flake, Cobblestone Hiking, and Westminster. I think adding more tins of just that will probably get me to where I'd like to be for the future. Some more St Bruno Flake, too.

My tobacco cellar represent obsession much more than strategy. At a wild guess, 75 pounds -- which is vastly more than I need, but not as much as I want. Here's one small part of it.
Cannot walk by, drop a line.
Around 70 lbs at all - 10 years of regular smoking, I guess. Half is 6+ years aged, another half is 1-2 years old.

Not nearly enough.
I have about 20 lbs in storage and roughly 2 or 3 lbs in current smoking rotation. I've been basically smoking everything I bought this year. And most of it was pipe purchases. Next year will be solely focused on tobacco.
I smoke anywhere from 5 to 7 lbs of tobacco a year these days. So I gotta double that in purchases this year.

I just recently inventoried my cellar, after selling off the majority of it several years ago to pay some mounting bills. (Thanks, Pipestud!) I’m at 240 tins—mostly 50g/2oz, but some 100g and maybe a half-dozen 8oz.
