Stonehaven Tins?

[cigrmaster]

About Time they smartened up and realized the profit potential. Freaking clowns.

Nate, looks like those flakes are wrapped in recycled paper or something inside the tin???

 

[peckinpahhombre]

Skip probably tinned it himself in order to get Nate to pay $80 a bag.

 

[cigrmaster]

Oh yeah, I am sure the retailers will be selling 2 at a time, great way to stock up. I gotta find me someone who will sell me at least a hundred.

"Tinned" to pay $80 per "bag"? Damnit Peck, you said you were gonna f'ing stop getting wasted on Sundays!!
Not recycled paper. They are genuine fluted cooking cups.

A 2 oz tin = $ 20
Take an 8 oz bag, divided by 2 = equals four 2 oz parcels
tin up those 4 parcels using your 1996 bubble jet to emulate crappy Germain labels, and then sucker in Nate for a purchase.
You have sold the bag for $80.

 

[iamn8]

Jokes on him. I woulda paid $80/bag.

 

[peckinpahhombre]

Yeah, but you drive a Porsche. The rest of us working stiffs prefer to pay $30-$35 a bag.

 

[iamn8]

You're criticizing my spending on tobacco? Hold on a sec, I need to grab a chair. Please continue
PS Skip charges $50/bag used to charge $30

 

[peckinpahhombre]

My stash comes almost entirely from free samples and thievery.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Got my chair and popcorn. Proceed!

 

[iamn8]

Free Samples And Theivery.... great name for your memoir!

 

[peckinpahhombre]

I note that only free samples are prohibited under the new FDA rules.

I know, used to buy it from the Briary for $35. After all the price hikes, I gave it up. SPC had Penzance for under $30, and grabbed a bag. If they could keep it under $40, I would probably smoke it all the time.

 

[Chasing Embers]

I note that only free samples are prohibited under the new FDA rules.

Do you think if you had to write a review on the sample that it would be considered contractual, and not actually "free"? Possible loophole?

 

[iamn8]

and theivery is prohibited under the old FBI rules. These government agencies sure know how to ruin a party.

 

[iamn8]

CM, yeah that was a serious price hike considering it can be had for those prices online. And I'm sure it'll keep rising. I've not heard. What is the future for the Esoterica line? Anyone?

 

[cigrmaster]

I am not about to chase this. I have 16 pounds all bought at the right price, why chase something twice as costly? Oh maybe because it will be fun.

What is the future for the Esoterica line? Anyone?

Robert Germain popped in at the FDA's Center For Tobacco Products, asked for Mitch Zeller, held out his hand and said to Zeller, "Pull my finger!"
You should be able to figure it out from there.

 

[cigrmaster]

Esoterica is a thing of the past, they missed their window.
