Rip Van Stogie

[dowjr1]

For a variety of reasons I have been away from the Forum and stogies for a couple years (outside of smoking some of my inventory).  Having recently come back I saw the sad news of CC price spikes and have since gotten tuned back into things a bit more.  What in the hell?  If nothing else, it is an experiment for HoH to price the common man out of buying and making CCs a luxury only item.  I can't help but think there is some hubris involved and wonder if it will come back to haunt them.  The pricing suggests there are no alternatives but there is and lots of them.  A price increase like this is not kind to the loyal fans and supporters...only punishes them.  Until things settle a bit from the stratosphere or something unusual comes along, not seeing any meaningful purchases.

I'm also returning from a hiatus. Some favourites have tripled in price compared to old order receipts, and then they're not even available anyhow. Slim pickings. Has me experimenting with stuff I've never tried before.
