Why Are Samuel Gawith Blends Always Out Of Stock?

[oldgeezersmoker]

Rich Dark Honeydew is my favorite of the bunch.

Not my favorite (Bob’s Chocolate has been since the 1980’s) but damn fine.

4noggins has a few in stock although most are out of stock . I just recently bought a 250g box of full Virginia flake.

FVF seems to be available regularly if you are willing to purchase the 250g box. I'm looking for the 50g.

If you are ignoring GLP blends while searching for SG you're making a mistake. Peterson also has some nice blends Hyde Park is made by G&H.

gl pease makes good blends. still going through their blends and so far haven't been disappointed. i stopped looking for hard to get blends, unless it drops right in front of me. more time for smoke, and less frustrations.

Yea, I had to....The Pease is better than most GH blends I’ve had. The topping is applied to my satisfaction. I love Ennerdale etc but the topping drowns out the leaf. My palate becomes fatigued.

I haven’t tried any Pease blends yet. I hear Westminster is good.

I haven’t gotten around to GLP blends yet, that brand seems to have a bewildering number of blends.

GLP only has 80 C&D has 223.?

The problem is... people buying them all up, before I have a chance to buy them all up. So, STOP it!!

Shortages happen from time to time. They come and go.

You could order from Estervals. You could try B&Ms. Web stores are a tiny portion of the distribution.

GL Pease blends are excellent. C&D makes a few good blends.

I like FVF, but not that much! ? It’s good, but I prefer Capstan as a peer competitor.

I’ve tried a couple C&D blends. Kajun Kake was my favorite - I loved the taste and smell, but it made me so sick, I was thinking, “I’m never smoking again...” ? ...I’ll try something else less potent...

 

[gervais]

I'd really love to get my hands on some best brown flake. I'm diligently checking for it every chance I get....I will not miss the next drop ?️‍

It does concern me that some sites have many items that are out of stock or no longer for sale, even though the items remain on the menu. If possible, sites do best if they rigorously maintain and update the available merchandise and don't carry too many items that are not available and some that won't be in the future. Web sites are demanding to maintain, no doubt about it, and expensive.

Or give me a tickbox that says In Stock in the filters.

Iwan Reis has the reverse problem. Their web site often shows them as sold out on popular blends, Gawith, Esoterica, etc... but when you go in the store they still have plenty in stock on the shelves. It might be intentional to maintain a reserve of inventory for their regular store customers, or maybe they just don't run their online site very efficiently. Not sure which.

smokingpipes.com has a tobacco locator feature in the menu that allows you to choose maker, cut etc. and right at the bottom of the various options is a little 'in stock' check box.

I believe this is the case. I asked about Esoterica when I visited the shop, and they said all of it goes to internet customers. They had many blends of Samuel Gawith on the shelf - I picked up a box of St. James.

They send in stock notifications to long time online customers without making them publicly known.

You can also sign up for notifications and there you can see how many will get an email before you based on when you signed up.

Yes, and I do most of my online shopping there.
