While we are at it. Any one use a helpful format or program to catalog your cellar. I'm starting a doc with google sheets but was thinking into helpful columns and organization

They might have competition. My daughter is all about her daddy's pipes.
Don’t know for sure, the last time I did a rough count it was around 90 pounds. A lot of blends that I like are not always easy to find in stock so I get what I can when it’s available.
I started putting together an Excel document after I posted earlier.
I'll upload it later if anyone is interested.
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 25-30 lbs. Just started over a year ago.
$100 invested smart will always be worth more than $100 in tobacco. I think in the present investment opportunities will be the more than some tobacco offerings will never come back if your considering opportunity as a factor to purchase tobacco or not.
What i'm saying with the above mentioned; you can't view purchasing tobacco as a investment in the way you talk about it. I think we both could agree having a cellar is more like a savings account than being it a true investment. Having a savings account for money is a terrible way to invest in terms of interest, where spending that you would save into that account in tobacco is in that way smarter the prices taking larger hikes than your savings account will ever offer you in interest.
I pretty much said the same thing.
In that case I misunderstood your premise, apologies!
I've got around 30lbs.
My strategy is to buy as much extra as my budget allows.
I don't know how much I smoke, I don't count it. Most of my daily smoking is cheaper bulk stuff...so I guess that's a cellaring strategy...

I’m 56 and a bowl-a-day smoker. I have about 100 lbs. in the cellar and feel that is sufficient for my lifetime. NOT!!!!! You guys keep this TAD going in me so bad that I have now accepted the fact that I am a Damn tobacco junkie! ??
Just north of 80 lbs. I average about 2 1/2 bowls per day. That comes out to around 7 lbs per year. If I live another 20 years, I’ll need 140 lbs if I maintain my current rate. * I don’t smoke on days when it’s unusually cold (anything below 0 F) nor when the temps go above 90.
My consumption goes way up when I’m on vacation. Enjoy four or five bowls a day then.

It’s interesting how everyone looks at cellaring pipe tobacco and how they consider what constitutes enough. It’s certainly a preppers mentality based on comfort/contentment. I’d like to have enough that if I had to stop buying for a time I have enough to carry me through to better times. There are some that I will always want, so working to get a good quantity. But, some of those blends aren’t exactly the easiest to come by… and I’m reminded of Finding Nemo every time certain tobaccos have a “drop.”
I’ve answered this question before by guessing at about 30 lbs. I really have no clue how much I really have because it is a very fluid situation. Admittedly, it’s probably well north of 30 lbs.
Kind of like how the older I get, when guessing how long ago things happened I always think +-5 years, and am shocked to find out that it was really 10 or more.
Maybe one day I will have the time and desire to take an inventory. Maybe.

About 30 lbs and I’m 72 years old. If I run out I’ll be calling you youngsters for charity drops if I’m still compas mentis. I can’t spell anymore either!
Plugs. I'm pretty much a sucker for anything in plug form (not to be confused with crumble cake, I'm looking at you black frigate!) In volume, they occupy less space for any given weight of ribbon, and I can come up with lots of other reasons to justify it. Honestly, I just like them and don't have a compelling reason as to why.
I've known people who have substantial cellars who still look at one blend or another and say they don't have enough of it. It's not so much that they want to have enough in the aggregate to last till they fall off the twig as that they want to have a full and deep selection left over when they fall off the twig.
I just got my first plug the other day and I honestly must be doing it wrong because it seems like a couple extra steps that seem unnecessary when shag exists out there. Maybe I'm just lazy. lol
Around 100 lbs, maybe a little more. Recently got back into VAs, so still adding, but at a slower rate than in the past.
