Most of his threads devolve like this. Check out his post history. Have even gotten a couple of pissy pm's from him questioning the authenticity of my Preben Holms. Just not pleasant at all.

Where was this stash?
I don't think there was one? I think it's supposed to be a joke exploiting the hysteria around some of the Esoterica blends? I think the angle is like the band that calls themselves Free Beer and then laughs at the crowd when they all show up for free beer, but I'm not sure?

Nah... I thought of buying some Stonehaven but living in Chicago the tax is a tad too much.

The annoyance of their online ordering notwithstanding, wouldn't a phone call to the place to make an order and verify stock solve the problem?

Well, their automated inventory control must be working, because Penzance is out of stock. They never did actually have Stonehaven.

I called in a few moments ago to see what happened and I should be good for a bag and possibly more. Guy said he got plowed with orders for it and he'll know more on Monday. I got the impression that his distributor has it for him but it is not right in front of him, and he does not know exactly how much is there for him.

HAHA.
Hope he has a good bookkeeper to sort out all the credit card charges and refunds from selling a whole bunch of stuff he didn't have.

Yeah, no doubt. Advertising that stuff is like playing with fire. Don't think he realized that.

Well I just my call and they have cancelled my order and state that they will refund my money. Now off to P&C to spend the money on the new blends they do have in stock.

They were very prompt in crediting back my order for ten bags of Pembroke... Polite and apologetic. They are also changing their web ordering so that the one bag per is automatic.

I'm sure they're good folks and it was just a "holy crap, I didn't realize it was going to be like this."
Also, you ordered 10 bags?! Surely you weren't expecting or even hoping for 10. Order 10 hope for 2?
