A few months ago I decided to inventory my tobacco and pipes, and after charting it all in an Excel workbook began questioning my strategy.
I love to behold a nice pipe, so a lot are just for looking at, but figure my self-imposed rule of thumb now is that I should have at least 1lb of tobacco for every pipe. Otherwise, when the online Tobaccalypse comes I'm gonna end up with a bunch of pretty pipes with nothing to stuff in them.
What say you?

Trying to keep occupied during the last of my home recovery . . . I dusted my Virginia Tin inventory.
Have several pounds of bulk in jars and pound bags as well.
Ratio: Several pipes with much to enjoy in them. I don't count how much tobacco I have . . . just have it.

The only way this really works is if you establish whatever ratio before you get deep into it
I am afraid to even consider calculating my ratio
