I'm still wondering why this isn't, or hasn't been, available. Anyone know?
I'm guessing it's because of the new warning labels.

Damn!!!! Yesterday when this post informed us that cup o joes had stock I immediately went on the site and tossed about a dozen tins of different blends in the old cart. 2 hours later when I got home from work I went back in to finish the sale and everything was all gone. Needless to say I was... well, you know... anyway lesson learned I guess.

Aro222, experience has taught me that you have to be very quick. Saving in the cart for later won’t work. Many times selected in stock items will disappear during the closing of the transaction (even with a standing account, standing method of payment, and a fast internet connection). I would, also, recommend frequent visits to sites. If you depend on forum announcements (often made after the op’s purchase) or other postings, you will usually be late to the trough.

I've had items disappear while I was trying to add more items. It happens that quick (well, apparently not with P&C but it sure does with Tobacco Pipes). You snooze, you lose.

Ugh... so bummed I missed this. I’ve been checking multiple sites each day. Almost ready to just buy from Europe. Was hoping to avoid that.
That's what I did, much more chill. :puffy:

When drops like this happens(as with Cupojoes)...I add my Top 5 then I buy 1st...Then I add my next batch..watch out you did not order the same 1 or the order will be Canceled.

Aro222, my thoughts on SP as well. A big reason to keep checking them out.
That Savinelli sale is worth taking advantage of, too.

All the stores got SG shipments last summer, July through August time frame if memory serves me correctly. And they all had been out of stock for quite some time at that point, 5 or 6 months. SP may have gotten more than anybody else but the demand is clearly greater than the supply. They all sold out of the more popular SG blends (FVF, BBF and SJF) very quickly. Saint James Flake was gone within a day if not less. It is what it is, you better know what you want and when it becomes available, jump on it before it is too late.

Picked up a couple tins of 1792 at TobaccoPipes.com. Love me some Tonka bean. Still some in stock!

Thanks to all the hoarders who created this shortage and immediately it is sold out again because I get to save my money.
