[thesmokindragon]

get some quick before hob gets it all ;-) but you might be safe as it is only 2oz tins..he prob orders in 8oz bags or by the truck load if he could ;-) nothing but love for you hob! ::
just call me "bacci hound"...hey a good handle perhaps :lol:
so why not my beloved SG-FVF :-(

Someone snatched it all up pretty much when it was first available, i got my notification email an hour ago and checked and before i could even get 1 tin it was gone

 

[tonypuff]

Also it seems that they have removed both Penzance and Stonehaven from their website when they are out of stock now...

 

[thesmokindragon]

yep, within an hour or less...wow! :crying:

 

[gecko13]

man that's brutal. I logged within mere seconds of the email alert, ready to grab a couple tins, and pow....all gone. I blame the falling stock market....folks are investing in the gold std of baccy.
:crying:

 

[tonypuff]

I just wish i could grab a little Stonehaven and FVF for once....my cellar needs a tin or two.

I'm sure now we will see a bunch of tins on fleabay for 39.99 each... :roll:
Did they have a 1 or 2 tin limit?
I'm not one to "taddle" but I've been tempted to contact ebay about the esoterica not being out of production and hopefully get those asshats who keep hording it and selling it for outrageous prices on ebay to get cut off...
Wish I could get one tin to at least try the damn stuff, frustrating...

 

[tonypuff]

Ive been tempted to contact Fleabay myself...theres a joker on there who sells a "package deal" of 1 8oz Stoney and 1 8oz Penzance for $120...and he has 4 "sets" left.

 

[thesmokindragon]

Wait a sec....hob did you ravage the 2oz tins as well...never stand between

Hob and his Penz

I saw this in the recent posts and went to P&C immediately, I shoulda read the thread to avoid the heart crushing disappointment.

Right there with you buddy...

 

[nikko]

yep, saw the email, had so much hope. now only disappointment... :crying: at least until my four pipes and several types of baccy come in the mail today :D

I sent an email to Russ about this and some other things....like his new blend coming out, Anglers Dream. Being the great guy that he is I received a timely response, part of the response addressing the Penzance Incident that occurred today.
"The Penzance email was in error. Our automated notification system apparently determined that a number of items were back in stock, even though we didn't receive a shipment. I apologize for the error."

 

[thesmokindragon]

Ouch, thanks for the info..frig'in computer systems....anyone say sky-net :-(

 

[brewshooter]

Yeah, P&C still needs a little work on their inventory system. My last two orders have both been held because something that said it was there wasn't actually in stock. I still like shopping with them, but it's an area where they do have occasional issues.

I've found that email alerts are kinda worthless the way the feeding frenzy takes place on the Internet. The best way to find some is still call the small shops you find out about, once every week, they will usually tell you when their next shipment is coming in and when to call back. When you get on a first name basis with them, they'll usually just call your cell phone and notify you before they put anything up on the web.
