How many did they get in ???

Sheeeesh that was quick

 

[erhardt85]

Margate in now but soon gone. Other esoterica to follow I assume.

 

[erhardt85]

Oftentimes they repost in later times or days. So I'd look tomorrow and the rest of today as well. But you have to be vigilant. Unfortunately. It sucks. Their price has been raised. On a side note.

I guess I missed the Penzance Stonehaven Cardiff and Brighton

Based on some facebook groups I'm in, I believe people are calling in orders as soon as word gets out, and it is likely selling out before even posted online. It's nuts! I plan to establish some relationships at my local B&M and hopefully get in on some Esoterica action. I already visit a crappy discount tobacco B&M very close to my house to buy cobs and Carter Hall tubs, but I'll take that business to the real tobacconist and become a regular there. That seems to be the key to getting the hard-to-find stuff.

A good strategy, have them give Arango a call!

It's crazy. I got an email alert on Ashton Artisan's a couple of days ago. Was sitting on my computer when I received it. IMMEDIATELY clicked on the link and hit the website. It was already gone.
There are no local B&Ms within 200 miles of here, unfortunately. I guess I'll try to work with one by phone.

Every time I called sp.com trying to get esoterica they flat out refused to sell it to me over the phone and told me I could only buy it on their website. Are you referring to spend.com or brick and mortar? If people are calling in Esoterica orders for sp.com I'd love to know so I can use that as ammunition next time.

Someone claimed on a facebook page to have ordered a tin of Penzance on the phone through SP today. That's all I know about it, so it's just hearsay.

 

[erhardt85]

Out of curiosity is this FB group a public group? I'd be interested in checking them out. Thanks for the info.

It was just a friend of a friend commenting a thread that showed up on my news feed. I couldn't tell you whether it was from a group or a shared photo or what.

The esoteric Esoterica drop happened a couple of weeks ago. I picked up a bag of Cardiff and a bag of Scarborough as I haven't tried either of them. At that time, neither of the unholy two were included in the drop. Some Stonehaven did show up later, which I missed, but that's OK as I don't need any more for myself, I'm just trying to help out a friend. I wonder when the new bags with the giant warning labels will start to show up.

Ok I have confirmed this. They are willing to take order by phone apparently which would explain why the good/rare stuff was absent. This is a change because a year ago they flat out refused to take Esoterica or Germain orders by phone because of "fairness". I don't know all the details though.

I did see Esoterica available in my Wishlist...But when I looked on the Main Brand list...Showed "Currently Out of Stock". Only saw a few items left...These sellers ordering system's including P&C on how they Over Sell and then you get a Dear John Letter..At this point I can care less about Esoterica or Germain's. I will not be listing (As I do here) when I see these 2 Brands available. Over and Out
