RandomSand Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Does anyone know why there is a L&M Cigarette shortage in 7-11 stores around Pattaya right now (Thursday Afternoon) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satcommlee Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 It might be a knock on effect of the recent increase in cigarette excise duty. There may have been a run on the wholesalers/hoarding and now a shortage as a result. That's my thoughts anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I noticed the same thing yesterday. Not 1 pack in 7-11 so had to buy another cheap brand. Hopefully today they will have. Actually it wasn't only L&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakename Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Maybe the wholesalers are doing the hording, waiting for the price rise, sounds like a big operation, not just some small guy hording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 same across bangkok, not just LM gut feeling is new coding on new packs for the new taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyebee Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 There were plenty of L&M Red in the Family Mart store on soi Yamato last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Today still none in the 7-11's. I went to a mama/papa store to get mine but no blue, only red. Wonder what's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobo Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 i was in 7/11 in Khao Lak today and the customer standing in front of me was very upset because they didn't have any LM:s..maybe it's the same all over the country.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jombom Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yep -- not easy --- but you can get if you search on a wider scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevkev1888 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Not only LM's I had to go to 5 stores before I could find Marlboro lights. Then I bought the last 3 packs. The cigarette displays where mostly 80% empty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Yeah same here, nearly 80% empty. I hope there is some news in the papers or something soon because I can't stand those crap Thai smokes. Has anyone else tried Foodland etc? I might have to do a smoke round up today driving around to mama/papa stores hoarding all the L&M Blues I can get. From what I saw the 7-11's had Marlboros as that is what I bought. I know they were going to try and re-enforce the "smoking in public areas" laws again but by banning smokes is NOT the way. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyebee Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 From my travels last night it seems that Family Marts have plenty of L&M, but 7-11 has nothing! Not paid their suppliers maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
