PS
Definitely without a doubt Stonehaven is my favorite Esoterica tobacco. Every pipe smoker has their particular favorites π

My wallet is still spinning. haha A pound of my flagship smoke (Dunbar) is in the bank! I won't list what else I bought...
Credit card was just paid off, but hell with it- I have wanted to try this stuff for years now. Thank you so much, Mr Ben888

I tried buying...twice.
Both times I got confirmation via text and email stating my purchase was processed. Each time it was followed up about 5 minutes later by a message via text/email stating my order "has been cancelled" and the "money has been refunded to your credit card".
Oh well. That was absurd. Glad I'm not low on blends. And doubly glad I don't rely on Pipe and Leaf for my tobacco purchases.
Moving on...

I just received an email from Pipe & Leaf that my money has been credited back to my credit card company and the THREE tobaccoβs that were CONFIRMED in stock and will be shipped 10/18/2018 is NOW out of stock. When I placed the order over 4 hours ago ALL was fine. Now on their website ALL tobaccoβs are sold out. Iβm COMPLETELY done for my quest for Esoterica tobaccoβs!!!
PS Pipe & Leaf is done in my books for any future purchases

Looks like their online database isn't up to speed.

I'd purchased from them in the past but thought they were out of business some time ago, figured from this post I was mistaken?

No need to be sorry, Ben. These Germain runs are mad dashes, and PipesAndLeaf is not the first to oversell these blends. With that said, I did order a Woodbridge that I hope arrives. If not, that's OK.

I don't place any blame on you. So no need for apologies as far as I'm concerned. In fact, thank you for the heads up. It was much appreciated.

Definitely no apologies necessary. I appreciate your postπππ I placed an order right around lunchtime. It kept getting canceled. I emailed to ask why and the owner said that "the address doesn't match up with the records at the bank." I went into my bank website and copy-pasted the address, word-for-word into the purchasing fields. Still canceled. Used my wife's card. Canceled. I took a look at my bank statement and the purchases had in fact been accepted and gone through, but the owner manually canceled them after the fact, each and every time. I emailed to ask if I could call and place an order over the phone. All I got was "no" as a response. I still don't know what to think, but it was deliberate and insulting on his part. What I can't wrap my head around is "why?"

Iβve alread removed them from my browsers bookmarks. I have enough Esoterica tobaccoβs to last for quite some timeπππ

Still, no reason for them to be rude jerks about it. They lost my business long ago for price gouging then abusing forum members who called them out on it at PipesMag.

My orders haven't been refunded yet, though deep down, my inner remorseful adult was hoping they had been. haha

I'm sure other Sobranies were sold after my attempted order(s). I think if it had been out of stock he would likely have simple emailed "it's out of stock" rather than make up some weird thing about the card not being accepted (over and over during a back and forth of several emails), when the bank statement clearly showed it was. I think he was "picking and choosing" who would get product and who wouldn't, possibly on the basis of .... your name? the items in your cart? that's what i don't get...
