@Smoking Pipes I'm Seeing A Lot of Tobacco Out of Stock

[RSteve]

As I've written in the DIY subforum, I finally have a list of components for what I feel is my current ideal English blend. On Monday, I sought to make a two pound batch. I prefer to buy all the components from one vendor, hopefully to get free shipping. I've found Smokingpipes.com, Pipesandcigars.com, and tobaccopipes.com most likely to have all the component blending tobaccos. All three were showing many popular bulk blends out of stock, particularly Smokingpipes.com. I wonder what's going on. Are there shortages? Is this pandemic related? Has business been so extraordinary that stocks are selling faster than can be restocked?

Most of them have had recent sales on various tobaccos. I know I stocked up on Sutliff blends in late October when smokingpipes had a 20% off sale. I figure they have those sales to reduce inventory prior to the end of the year. I could be very wrong about that.
