Yeah it was like that when I tried to get my hands on a tub of Sugar Barrel. I gave up. Now I can't afford to think about trying to get some. Oh well...to be continued another day once employed again.

Penzance wasn't one of the blends in stock.

You can set up e-mail alerts with Smokingpipes.com. I overlooked the one I got today for about 90 minutes. . . and the blend was still in stock when I went to order two bags of And So to Bed.
As I type, there are currently 8oz bags of ASTB still available, as well as bags of Kingsbridge, Ramsgate, and Woodbridge. (I know: Some folks think the only Esoterica blends to smoke are Stonehaven and Penzance, but I haven't been disappointed by any of the others I've tried as well.)

Thanks for that note! I must have decided I have enough already and didn't bother setting up an alert. (And the in-stock blends don't typically show up in the main Brand section of the site unless you actually click the e-mail you get, which seems to take you to a special page. I guess that's their way of giving first-dibs to those who set up an in-stock alert.)
But, yeah, if you have to wait three hours to respond to an alert for something like Penzance, then it's not even worth it to set one up. I realize not everyone has a smart phone yet -- or constant access to their personal e-mail -- but my personal recommendation is to respond immediately when you get an in-stock notification. Or at least within the first 2-3 minutes after the e-mail arrives.

Penzance sold out in 6 minutes!
:lol:
SG SJF went fast too!
...and I missed the window for Old Ironsides too!
Getting well-loved blends is near impossible!
Gotta be a quick gunslinger to get the goods!
It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad!
