Why's the online store empty?

[worlok]

I'm just curious what I missed that the FOH store is empty.

I haven't ordered in quite some time because I was building a massive pipe tobacco collection (cellar).

I was curious what the current prices are so I logged in and ... nothing.

Is there a restock going on? Massive shortage? About the only thing that I know is that prices via Habanos went up.

Sorry for my ignorance but I have no clue what's going on so I figured I'd ask. I searched but didn't find anything. TIA

Welcome back to the world of habanos. There is a massive shortage and it's going to get worse in terms of production. I imagine the store won't be back for quite some time or unless/until NC's are offered (but that's more of a @El Presidente question).

Oh wow so I guess I should continue to carefully age my stock (with the occasional indulgence) and just smoke my pipes. Thanks for the heads up. I figured as much but I had to ask.

In short Cuba is F$CK3D for a multitude of reasons. Supply is next to nothing around the world. 24:24 is very competitive due to shortages so be patient.

Man I love these short and sweet answers.  Needs to be its own thread.  "Define the world of cuban tobacco in under 30 words"

The question is similar to what I saw about 5 times in 45 min at the Porsche dealer a few weeks ago. 

Hi I’d like to take a look at some 911s. 

We don’t have any 911s. 

What do you mean? None? 

None, there’s like a 2-3 year wait. 

Guy, stunned, walks out. 

I am thinking “what does this guy think he can just walk into a Porsche dealer, pick one, write a check, and walk out with a new 911? what is this some kind of fantasy world…like 2019?”

Yeah someone would think these people are trying to buy toilet paper or something.

Funny. It was like that with mazzaratis earlier this month. Hopefully it's temporary.

Sir, your maserati is in the shop, which you would know if you didn't drive a civic.
