maybe I am a skeptic but I wonder how much of some products not being available is manufactured scarcity. An attempt to drive up demand. With ammo I feel like it's half and half and with Middleton I feel like it's 100 percent.I can't find ammo, and today I found out my favorite pipe tobacco, Carter Hall, is off the shelves and is back ordered. The online dealers give you the option of "notify me when available" via email. I've heard that one before!
Whats next ? Straub beer vanishing from the shelves? I can't take much more!!
