Pipe smoking is a corrupting bidnis and there are three maladies that you must come to know: PAD (Pipe Acquisition Disorder), TAD (Tobacco Acquisition Disorder), and Cellaring (aka hoarding).

PAD is when you have an overwhelming compulsion to buy pipes that you really don't need, and TAD is when you go on a buying spree and buy a metric butt ton of pipe tobacco at once. If you're lucky, you can come to terms with TAD and call it cellaring, since many pipe tobaccos age sorta like wine and just get better with time.

Considering how pipe tobacco prices increase, and blenders go out of business (cue in the names Dunhill and McClelland, followed by wailing, gnashing of teeth, and rending of garments) and how the nannies want to ultimately ban all manner of tobacco, cellaring - or at least building a stockpile of your favorite blends - isn't such a bad idea.

Save yourself from the madness...
