[QUOTE="Warwick, post: 74534, member: 220"] Musing on the front porch today, I wondered how much I've spent on tobacco, considering that I just started this hobby about five years ago. Well, my stats on tobaccocellar.org: [list][*]The cellar contains 261 tins and has 82 blends represented. [*]We will find 61 lbs. 4 oz. of tobacco in the collection. [*]This quantity of tobacco is estimated to fill approximately 9,807 of the owner's pipes. [*]The cellar should endure 40 yrs, 10 mos at the defined smoking pace.[/list] Hmmm. If there are 16oz in a pound...and I guesstimate an average cost of $2.90/oz (i.e., considering a rough average of about $40 per lb ($2.50/oz), and about $7 per 2oz tin ($3.50/oz))....then the result is: ((61 * 16) + 4) * 2.9 = [b]$2,842 [/b] Yikes!! And that doesn't include what I've already smoked. But...but.... I swear I just bought a fews tins here and an occasional pound there..... Oh well....I guess that's why they call it TAD.... [/QUOTE]
