+1 you said it Brother, i'd be pissed too.tslots":eyyqmn80 said:Raising prices is a normal business practice. But IMO, cancelling already accepted back orders so that ALL customers must pay the higher prices is just greedy and bordering on illegal.

I call B.S. on this. The other online retailers did not raise their prices, and I've now been in touch with two of them. Both said there was no price increase.DrumsAndBeer":2uzaqv0a said:Here's the reply I got from P&C.com upon inquiring about the price increase -

Hi Chris,
Thanks for contacting Pipes & Cigars. As you are certainly aware, Esoterica
tobacco is extremely difficult to obtain. The perpetual shortage of
Esoterica product has been forcing an increase in our cost for some time and
we could no longer maintain the old price. The new $49.95 price was chosen
to cover our increased costs and allow us a reasonable return on our
investment in time, effort, and money used to acquire it.
Let me know if you have any other questions I can help you with.
Then why are they the only ones I've found to be charging $49.99 for 8oz'sDrumsAndBeer":6luca60k said:Here's the reply I got from P&C.com upon inquiring about the price increase -
