Well I'm now a month in and with the new desk I've realized how much I've accumulated. I emptied out my original drawer and migrated everything over. I went from nothing pipe related at all to 2.97 lbs of tobacco put up (a few bowls of each taken out to smoke), 1.17 lbs. of that is Nightcap alone. It all consist of 12 different tobaccos. Ive managed to acquire 5 different pipes as well. And more tobacco incoming in the mail. I think I got bit by the tobacco Bug. But I'm really enjoying it. (The tins at the top have beem jarred up. I keep what I plan on smoking in them)  |

Looking good! You're off to a good start! Can't read the labels from here; what are your favorite types of tobaccos?

Theyre mostly English blends and I've really been enjoying them.
But I also like Byzantium and Bayou Night so far too.
I'm up for trying anything and in my next orders I'm going for a different type of variety.

Great beginning, but beware my friend PAD and TAD will take over your like. LOLLOLLOL Haha, I've noticed. That was the "bug" I was speaking of. Multiple times a day I find myself looking at blends and twlling myself "looks good" then add to cart. A while later I do the same thing, then uave to clear my cart before i "accidentally" checkout. Lol |

Very nice. I am only six months in. I remember being a month in and discovering flakes. Don't go there. |

I tell myself that when the world goes crap, if im still around, tobacco will be a good bartering tool. That and theres a lot of different blends I still want to try. I belive that will be never ending. |

Very nice indeed. The odd thing is, I dont even notice that the money I've spent is gone. I've quit spending so much money on other things that I dont need.

Every time I make a small tobacco order and feel a bit guilty, I pull up Dino's pictures and any guilt immediately vanishes. |

Well it's been a little over 2 months now. I think my pipes and tobacco must have reproduced because I have no idea how all of this got here... Let's start with the snuff drawer...  Then the big shot...  And then the pipes  |

Seems reasonable. Looks about like my assortment. Unless you look in the closet. Storage bins full of archived tins in there. A lot of McClelland and Syrian Lat blends.

Thanks. Hopefully I slow down during the next 6 months. It depends on what I find. I have enough Nightcap to last me until death, so I'm good there. Currently Proper English has been my favorite "anytime" tobacco, and what i look forward to when I come home from work, so I might pack a few more jars of that away. The rest are fillers. I planned on picking up a few more tins of H&H Cerberus but everywhere I looked was sold out. I'm happy with my "small" collection so far.
I forgot about my 3 tins of Squadron Leader with perique when I was putting my jars and tins back in their designated spots.

That's amazing for 2 month's worth of purchasing. Your tobacco breeds like rabbits.
