Pormax Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Have been to six 7/11 stores in my area in the last 3 days to buy cigarettes but NO cigarettes available of any make. Does anyone Know if this is a new policy of that Company?? Did manage to buy some in Tesco Lotus who had a good stock.

bkkjames Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 NO, they are waiting for the new higher taxed versions to arrive with different barcodes etc. (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkokhatter Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Have heard about them waiting for the higher bar codes, but my local 7 charged me the new price the day after the tax increase was announced, obviously i complained, what do you think happened 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pormax Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Have heard about them waiting for the higher bar codes, but my local 7 charged me the new price the day after the tax increase was announced, obviously i complained, what do you think happened No I doubt this is the case as the last time I was able to buy L&M Blue was about 5 days ago at a 7/11. Took their last 2 packs and swept them through the bar code and paid new price 66B a packet. Either they have had a fall out over price with their supplier or new policy not to sell. I think if the later then they will lose a lot of money/profit as I go mainly to 7/11 for ciggies but almost everytime buy other items at the same time.

jaidam Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Most people dont realize that marbloros that are sold in Bangkok are not that, they are not real. Yes quite correct. Any pack spelt "marlbloro" is certain to be fake. I have seen fake marlboro reds. Tobacco and pack printing was very poor quality. No resemblance to what is sold in stores. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always buy a carton and keep your stocks up If we had an idea they were going to run out am sure we would have stocked up. At my local 7 it happens quite a bit that the LM red in a hard box run very low, but a couple of days later they are stocked up again. In my area of BKK no 7/11 has any brand other than SMS so something is happening. Luckily most mom and pop shops still hold stock, albeit the soft box cheeky feckers are charging a higher price though Edited September 11, 2012 by Bangkokhatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If fake meds can make it into western supply chains, how difficult do you think it would be for fake smokes to make it into thai supply chains?

My uncle works in tobac exportations from canada, i live in thailand and smoke.. I inquored about the smokes here and he contacted people from marb, very low, yet informed people... He told me they do NOT export marbs to thailand, hence my retort, i get mad at over assuming people, apologies.. I live in bangkok and am still learning.

Nobody is having a real go at your family, and if they did, let it slide. Shows more about them than you and rest of us recognize this. People (usually smokie, its a spurs thing) have a go a me on here all the time. I do in return. Generally good fun. Occasionally you have whip out the old thesaurus once in a while to really give to those brainy types that role out words like misogynistic (still dont know what that means and couldnt really care enough to go look it up either) Be careful of other people using slang and sarcasm on here to. For example if they say "Hey Chicken Little, cat got your tongue?" really means "Hey meathead, did my last comment shut you up for good?" stuff like that. It's confusing I know but you'll get the hang of it. Back to butts at 711, reminds me of last years flood and lack of stock. Speaking of which, looking at the news about Sukhothai and Ayuthaya, I think I will start hoarding early this year..

When giving advice it is a good idea to have been around Thailand for a while like maybe 10 years or so. Unless of course you have an area of expertise.
