Anybody know what's going on with certain cigarettes.

 

Tried three 7/11s today to buy Camel Yellow...all out.

 

A friend says they're out everywhere.

 

Also some other of the cheaper brands seemed to be gone also.

 

Read somewhere that they were going to raise taxes but I hadn't heard it passed.

 

The only reason I can think of for them being out of stock everywhere.

Really. Thats the only reason. No chance of issues in the supply chain?

It has happened every year at the time there is a price increase coming.  Usually lasts 2-4 days and they are back in stock again.  When the rumor of a price change starts, beging buying by the carton (10 pack) and you should be OK.  Not sure why it is done this way unless the new packs get a new bar code and can not be mixed with older stock.

The Thais seem to think the supply was pulled so they could resupply at higher prices.

 

Seems a bizarre way of conducting business, if true.

Surprisingly logical

I gave up a few years back, glad I can't remember how many exactly as that means it doesn't really bother me.

 

If you are a smoker, then stop now, you wil feel the benefit.

I've built up about a 2 weeks supply seeing what was happening... and soon or sooner than then if no improvement on the supply... A Poipet border crossing for a visit will be on the cards.

The "Big Boys" in the know buy up big out of bond (pay the old tax & excise) & store for 4 weeks

Sell at new prices, pure cop, which is slang for pure profit for the non English speaking persons

I heard it was flooding! Or NAM <deleted>. " How do Thai say it?

Nam Tuam.

 

I make my own smokes again now and save heaps.  No not rollies but the tubes with filter bought online plus the local Isaan tobacco and a small machine.  Costs me about 26 baht for 40 cigs compared to 120 I used to pay for 2 packs
