Official Word From Gawith

[mso489]

If this means some of their blends will be distributed on a regular basis, and not be perpetually out of stock, that would be a good thing. In effect, at present, I consider them out of business.

Laudisi will, at least for now, be distributing only GH, not SG.

Yeh, tell me about it. Whenever smokingpipes gets in ropes or plugs they sell out faster than I can respond. When was the last time they've had a Gawith in stock for longer than a few days?

There was a guy who owned a plant nursery in a neighboring town, and he carried this Bug Away organic spray. It worked great for protecting roses, which are hard to keep the bugs off of, and he was selling it so fast that he just got to where, when he got it in, he would just cut the top off of the box, and people would grab them out of there. Then he went weeks without getting any in. So, I asked him why. He said, "It was selling so fast that it was just too hard to keep stocked."
Duh!!! It was my only reason for going in that place. I would pick up various other things, just because I was there already, but now he is out of business. Some people just have no clue.

The nursery story sounds like plain old laziness unless he was really making a poor margin. No, as you said a lot of people would also pick up other things while being there, so simple laziness.

We will see how it goes. With that in mind, I've never been able to get hard to find blends from them. Hope this doesn't negatively effect local B&Ms
