Thanks for enduring the storm for us. We’re here to support you, as you’ve always supported us. 
 

Best to the FOH team and family.

Sounds like a good time to go fishing.🙌

Start flipping gurkhas to fill in the volume mate... only the best.

Rob - you and your team are awesome and have always been as kind and considerate as any company I’ve done business with period.

Thank you and FOH for the community you provide us. 
 

Many thanks - Mark

Thanks for doing this Rob.  I know it wasn't for me in particular, but I am going to thank you like it was anyway.  I was on a good run of late, I mean a better run than any craps table I have ever been on.  At least when I put my money on this table Di made sure something was sent my way in return

I hope the world can rid itself of this pandemic and the hell it has brought on the people of the world as a whole.  One of these days, I hope we find the folks responsible for unleashing this bastard on all of us.  Not for the sake of me buying cigars again, but for the sake of justice for all.

Be Blessed forum members, families, and all mankind!

Crazy times we are living in.  Hoping all the best for FOH business going forward.  The supply chain is causing issues in almost every sector.  It looks like its going to be a long 2 or 3 years of this.

Well, we could always return to the days of Live From the Humidor with single boxes being posted individually over the course of the evening for us to scramble over. First response gets the box…

 

Then it would be "Diana has left the building "

Reason 14, I am glad I quit smoking Cuban Cigars exclusively.

Same issue everywhere else. Try to find the sizes of Padron that you want.

Padron has been hit hard for sure, along with a few other NCs.   But--for the most part I have been able to obtain any NCs I want, probably because there are so many web sites offering NCs (and many of the sites are not that well known).

Local shops here in Seattle all seemed to get a big drop of Fuente products a few weeks back.  Regular stuff, Opus, other limited lines.  Get this - the OpusX "Angel's Share" release comes as three cigars in a small travel case.  Retail pricing starts at $70.  There's one shop in town selling for $150...wowie.

There's a shop in Portland selling the robustos for $75 each, so $225 for the tin of three and the price only goes up with the larger vitolas.

so the price of a Cohiba Robusto?

[fokker4me]

Thanks for the update

[oakalley]

I appreciate the update. It looks like cigars are in the same boat as just about every other commodity. If it comes from the Far East, it’s probably on a ship anchored off San Diego or LA. If it has a computer chip(s) good luck!! Unfortunately, it may take a year or two to return to some sibilance of normalcy. In the meantime, we need to just sit back, relax and wait it out. I know that we have gotten very used to “instant gratification”, but this pandemic induced shortage is beyond our control.

best community around:)

[stephenbj]

Thank you Rob for letting the community know. Similar situation in Hong kong, I am a long time customer of PCC but you can’t even get any cohibas or Trinidad anymore even for regular customers and brands like R&J, Monte, partagas is also running low on stock. and they are thinking of further price hikes towards the middle of the year. Maybe it’s time to dip into my stock for long term aging and weather the storm for the next 18-24 months.

They are having a tough time indeed. 

I know European distributors/sub distributors have been issued news of May price hikes. 

It is madness indeed. 

[stephenbj]

The thing with Hong Kong recent 10 years’ been a lot of parallel importers that come and take a lot of the supply and resell them up north. In previous years we still have some supply left but pricey, but this year, I can’t even buy anything I like from cohiba or Trinidad. So I am so happy that you still have the 24:24. I just need to wake up in time for the draw. But thank you rob for doing this. 

[gratakate]

This is really cool

[Andyyin]

Thanks for all you continue to do for us. 

Cheers folks 

[ha_banos]

Good job staying in business! Don't know how nuts this all must be.

I guess the sidelines of the Rob and Ken show, the Michelin star FoH food truck, the apparel and accessories super mall all keep ticking over!

[Tstew75]

Pres, any update on stock availability?  It looks to me things are slowly approving out there.
