-sigh- I really need to sit down and cull out things I am likely never to smoke, not to mention stop buying much, but still, two orders last month:

1) a 1/2 kilo bag of GH Dark Flake Unscented (I would have sworn I ordered Brown Flake Unscented but this is almost as good);
2) 1 each McConnell Dark Flake & Paddington (Royal Yacht clone), 2 Rattray's Sterling Flake (Irish Flake clone); 1 St Bruno's; and one new to me, Aylesbury's General 1776.

I was rearranging the cabinet for storing tobacco, and realized the same thing. I have plenty for what I use, and only smoke outside, so that will now decrease. I've decided today to not buy any until after the first of the year.

I just placed an order for 6 oz of KBV Burley Morning Pipe and a 4 oz cake of L.J. Peretti’s Thanksgiving Day. Plus I just received 3 lbs of PS Luxury Navy, 3 lbs of PS Luxury Twist, and 1.5 lbs of PS Luxury Bullseye. I need shock therapy!
Now that's a haul! I'm pretty stocked up, but really like KBV blends, so watch his "news" page. I still have 4 oz. of Golf Fore Glory unopened, smoked 4 oz, and some jarred.

How many of us have made that promise to ourselves----i'm done buying for the year---only to break it. LOL
 
I'm just glad that I'm not the only one, Butsiethesungo.

The Country Squire thread sent me over to the website. The Ruins of Windsor called to me. I do not need more tobacco. I do not want more tobacco. I bought it anyway.

Life is good.
Yeah, not only did I promise myself.....but I also promised my wife that I was done. Then TAD happened and she discovered the package in the mail....I was in the doghouse for quite awhile!
 
My wife was talking about making room in the bedroom by replacing the wide dresser with a chest on chest set of drawers. Then said, "who am I kidding, you will just use the extra space for more tobacco.". I told her I just did inventory and I am good. Didn't mention that it came tad over 150 lbs She responded with, " yeah right. You said that last year."

I 'only' have 40% of that; not sure if that should make feel good or bad....
 
These two bags came in this afternoon , so I should be good until 2023. Unless I can get a box of Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Plug from Watch City Cigar. 😀

Well, I almost made it. Just grabbed some KBV Verge Engine Overdrive. The description mentioned a unique perique, and I have a weakness for perique. I couldn't find out much about what is so unique...
