Distributor Shutdowns Begin

[oldgeezersmoker]

Phillips and King distributes Samuel Gawith and Gawith Hoggarth from a warehouse in California. This will be the first of many. Supporting your B & M is a great idea, do it now if you have them close at hand while they still have stock.

I wonder if my local B&M will accept paper for BM as currency? ??

If anyone wants 2012 SG flakes I am only charging 1000.00 per ounce. Yeah I know what a great guy I am.

 

[3rdguy]

Just put a distributor in my truck so I am set.

Of any tobacco users, I’d expect pipe smokers to be able to weather a supply interruption without a hitch.

Will you accept a bottle of Purell and a couple rolls of toilet paper? It's two ply.

It just occurred to me there’s an easy way to double the supply of toilet paper! Thanks for bringing this sales opportunity to mind!!!

I’m gonna be RICH!

You mean like how they reacted, and coninue to react to this day, over a few delayed shipments of Penzance back in 2007?

It's at times like this having a cellar (however small) pays off.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Again, no worries here.

 

[oldgeezersmoker]

I am ok too, , but there are a lot of good people in the already shrinking small business side of the pipe tobacco industry who may or may not have a viable, bankable, business left when the dust settles. Everybody on the consumer side who wants to preen about how smart they were to cellar, have at it

I was just about ready to buy a meerschaum from Altinok and now I'm having second thoughts.

If the TP is Charmin you got a deal. Gotta have the soft stuff.

This is the big concern, people who won’t recover and the long term setback to the industry.

Charmin...I hate that stuff. It has a way of tearing apart at the worst possible moment. I'll stick with Scott. Made in America and doesn't disintegrate.

Assuming this contagion doesn't kill me, I'm well stocked. And if this contagion does kill me, I'm better than well stocked.

And honestly, there's more serious stuff to contend with.

But be kind to your B&M, if it's open for business. You're going to need them in the future.

jesse, I actually use Pampers anti bacterial baby wipes as those bitches never break and do a much better job. I have been using them for 30 years since my first kid was born. I have the cleanest ass in America.

It’s a bit of hyperbole, but there could be 3 business left at the end of this: Amazon, Walmart and Costco. Much of the the billions in revenue that smaller businesses are losing is flowing to a few businesses placed in the right spot, at the right time in history.
There looks to be a great shaking out in the works. Many small business live week to week and many medium sized are financed month to month; many of these face the possibility they will be starved out.
Tobacco availability is the least of worries for business owners and their employees.

That definitely qualifies as TMI Mr. TinderAss.

Well I use well plumed full length flakes of Stonehaven to wipe my bum, so there ?

Is that considered a casing or a topping?
