Psychic Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneeyedJohn Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
