Man, that’s terrible. At those prices people should start smuggling pipe tobacco instead of drugs!

"forgot to mention"... moreso the trauma of smoking it repressed the memory in you brain
Have fun with you new passion, you'll have some great time!
And whenever I argue about the prices for importing US tobaccos to Germany, I'll think of you, so it won't be as hard anymore!
Tobacco is a investment in my eyes. It only goes up in value and sometimes by quite a bit (Esoterica, Mclelland, Frog Morton, etc.) Where those that had stocked up could be living on some island somewhere sipping mai thais on the beach.
As far as buying goes, purchase what you can afford. I like to have a wide variety so it doesn't get boring and there is always something to smoke when tastes change. It can get a bit crazy if you allow it to, same goes for shaving gear, but whatever makes you happy is what you should do.

Some time back, I became concerned about the number of tins and jars I had open on the “smoking shelf”. I tried to smoke it down to a reasonable number only to realize that for me, it was futile. I now ascribe to a similar philosophy as yours; I don’t spend money I don’t have and do what makes me happy. Life is too short to do otherwise.
Exactly! As long as your enjoying yourself and not going into debt in the process, it's all good. I also would like to work thru some of the open tins and samples yet I cracked a new tin of Sutliff Great Outdoors this morning (decent Codger like blend, first time smoking this one) lol like you said resistance is futile
Working through open stuff, is something I've got quite disciplined with, and "officially" I only have five blends on the go at once, which are smoked from five one ounce sized tins.
However, I also have ten small glass jars of around the same size, which are my medium term storage. The plan there, is to cram one full with half of a newly opened tin, to keep that half fresh, while I gradually work through the rest. However, they all have tobacco in right now, so they need smoking before I crack open a new tin/pouch. I am diligently working on that

Buy online, from US sites. Pay US prices, eat the exchange rates, and keep purchases to around ~ a pound at a time. Doing this and, so far, have dodged the taxes and duties every time (that said, I have likely jinxed my next purchase). Well worth the risk of getting dinged for the occasional package.
