This.

As far as pipes and the requisite baccy, I usually pass, even on the sales. I have way more pipe bakky than I'll ever smoke but if something is on clearance that sounds good that I haven't tried before (like the G&H whiskey twist a few weeks ago) I may spring for a small stockpile just to add even MOAR variety to my stash. For me it's all about variety. I have no 'desert island tobacco'. Were I confined to one blend I'd lose interest and probably abandon the 'hobby'.
