They didn't just move. They've been bought.

If they have been bought, who bought them? Was it Cigars International?

Time will tell what happens here.
I've always been satisfied with their service. Hopefully, things will stay the same as before the buyout.

Curious to know whether they will stop shipping internationally, since CI does not. I just was on their website and couldn't seem to find anything about international shipping. I don't use them so I don't really care - just interested to know.

From Albany to Bethlehem? If Russ Ouellette can't make that commute I fear some major changes in the offing.

Guys

They have a major presence in the area as far as B&M's go. Huge lounge, walk in humidor and great pipe and tobacco section. I would hope the B&M would be safe and the staff as well. Hopefully Russ can provide us with some info when he is able. I will keep you posted after my visit tomorrow.

I tried doing an order yesterday and there was no Canada shipping option. I thought it was a glitch, maybe related to their inventory last week. I guess not...

I use them a lot, if the international shipping is no longer available I will not be a happy camper. Guess I should have bought another rack or two to keep my set consistent for displaying my pipes. They were only place that carried them. Oh well, Rich looks like you're going to get a lot more love from the Canadian bretheren.

I was adding some items to my cart the last couple days on P&C and it said nothing was going to ship until Monday due to "inventory volumes being low" . I do ALL of my online dealings with P&C and have been very happy so far. I really hope that nothing changes.

but it very well could be good news for New York State residents who can now order from P&C and not pay the usurious NY taxes.

I suspect the Habana Cigar shop/lounge downstairs in the same building as P&C in Albany would continue.

It's funny, they had a few things I was interested in (their proprietary blends) so I emailed them a couple of questions about 10 days ago. No response, so I sent them a followup about 4 days ago. Still no response. To be blunt, I was not surprised since I have always found their customer service completely lousy compared to SP and 4noggins, but I realize that is just my experience and others here have had a far better time with them.
I can only assume that CI has done the math and has concluded that such a small percentage of P&C's business is in the international sphere that it is just not worth doing it any more. I get that.

I see their International Shipping FAQ is gone, while the domestic one remains, so I think we can assume this is not just some big mistake.

I understand the business side of it, it's just too bad as you could only get some things from them, like my racks. My OCD will have a hard time mixing up the racks with another shape/size. I'm kicking myself now as I almost ordered another rack on my last order and decided to get one next time. Once again.......crud!
