Another poster had a similar situation a few days ago and it seemed to have cleared up the next day or so.
Try back in the morning and see what happens.

actually. I know why there is no substitute for those. In my opinion they make those with quite resistible chocolate.
There is still a glitch or is there.When I tried to order a 250 g bag of ASCANIAN nos 2 it dumped ten bags in my basket with a message saying minimum order for this blend is ten bags.Same with 100g tins minimum ten tins.50g tins were ok you could order one tin then go out and order another one etc.
Let's start a new baseless internet rumor!
Esterval's is dumping product because they're going out of business.

That's just speculation. If you really want it to take off, you need to add a dash of conspiracy.
Estervals is forcing Americans to buy large lots of tobaccos because they're in cahoots with the fda and customs agents. They get kickbacks from the fines whenever our crates get ding'd by the port authority.

I’ve experienced this “forced minimum” recently on a variety of choices at Estervals, not just HU. I just went back to review my cart, and it’s empty, but 2 of the minimum requirements that were there before are still being forced, even though one of the blends is out of stock.
My assumption was that they were applying this to the more popular blends in order to help them manage their volume of “small orders,” but that’s total speculation on my part.

Personally with their DHL shipping costs I would rather buy "the right" amount to maximize shipping.
That was me and they actually did change their policy. They added a VIP system. Some blends you can only buy a minimum of 10 of, while others are unaffected.
Heres the relevant reddit thread
Disappointed to hear that this is not expected to change in the future. I don’t feel quite as strongly as the OP in the Reddit posting (not sure if that’s you or not) regarding whether I will continue patronage at Esterval’s, mostly because my orders there are always large quantities anyway, but this does force me to order in a way that I wouldn’t have otherwise. Having a couple friends that like/want some of the same things can help, if you don’t mind splitting it up after receipt.
OP isn't me and I feel the same as you, there's still blends unaffected by this that I can order and honestly the minimum on some of the HU blends is fine because I get a bunch of that at once anyway but it sucks if you just want to get a tin to try something new.
That is definitely disappointing. I was looking forward to getting a tin of White Horse with my next order, but not having tried it before, I’m not so sure I want to spring for 5 of em…
Good news, looks like they got a lot of flak for their new policy and they changed it to a minimum order of $130 instead of whatever that VIP nonsense they had going on.
I am glad to read that. It was frustrating to add one tin of something and see it show up as a count of ten or twenty. Especially since they have a lot of the other HU blends I am interested in trying.
