Tin Limits

not as much as people that buy huge amounts of a certain brand. You know when they have such a big cellar they could spend the rest of their lives chain smoking one blend and barely dent their supply. Or having the same blends bought up to get scalped latter by a few individuals.
Well I wanna buy more than 5 tins... I only want one blend and would get to the free shipping level but can’t with 5!
I’d never pay over retail for a tin that is still in production unless it was aged.
I never pay over retail for any tin. Then again there are still so many blends I haven't tried yet so....
Being that 5 tins is pretty much a lifetime supply of any blend for me, I'm a fan of the tin limits ?
Can't you just do two transactions? I did this the other night at Arby's with coupons. Haha it embarrassed my wife, but it worked.
Haha, I used to eat Arby's all the time. Then I realized, that all I really liked was the mixture of Arby's Sauce and Horsey Sauce, and that I was really just eating a shit sandwich covered in delicious goo. Now I go and order a market fresh sandwich with 10 packets of sauce to stock up and just put it on food at home.
It's not meat and the cheese isn't cheese .. but the sauce is the shit.
Tin limits are, in general, a fact of life. If I really want to stock up on a blend, I'll order the 5 and find 3 to 5 others I have no issue purchasing to meet the shipping minimum. 2 tin limit? Forget about it. I also think this is a strategy by some of the internet retailers. Maximize the leverage of hard to find blends by getting people to add to the cart, with other more available blends, to meet the shipping minimum.
@BROBS What's a tin of Astley's 44 worth to you? Cuz I can make that happen for the right price.
Just order Chalet Sauce from Canada. ? same thing
I could see that being the case. Get rid of stock that isn’t ordered as much.
In 2012 I bought a lot of tobacco, maybe 120 lbs, including 20 500g boxes of Dark Flake. By this I could thumb my nose at the FDA. Sounds like a lot, but for a period of about 3? years I'd go through a 300g jar of Dark Flake every month. Jarred, I had about 15 cases of pints.
When I was trying to buy that amount I worked for Rich at 4noggins, the former owner, and I bought from him at discount. I kept increasing how much I wanted to buy, and when I exhausted his supply, he called some distributor to see if he could;d get me more. Turns out he could, but he kept a few boxes for himself that he would 't allow me to buy.

The retailer is in a box. If they have tin limits, people feel shunted. If they raise the price to where the demand dwindles, they're gouging. If they have no limit, the first two customers buy them out, and everyone else complains they never carry the stuff. I give big points for brands and blends that answer demand with supply. That used to be one of the salient features of capitalism. Ahem.
If I can’t buy 10 tins of the same thing it makes me sad. I am done buying Wessex Dark Flake however so that should help the supply chain.
I was purchasing only 2 at a time. Just upped it to 5 tins of each blend so haven’t run into a tin limit that effects me. Hope i don’t if they some places are setting 2!
