    Default Cigarette shortage?

    Has anyone here who smokes du Mauriers or Players cigarettes had problems finding them lately? In the past two weeks, I've only found one store that had any du Maurier light regulars and I'm beginning to wonder if the cigarette manufacturer's really want my money. Anybody know the reason for this shortage?

    Looks like they implemented a new distribution system, eliminating wholesalers:

    Yah, Du is in the middle of a transfer so they are selling all their old stock off so they dont have to induce transportation costs of moving it all.

    Problem is they are probably loosing more money now that peopel can't buy them

    Sorry, but I'm not bitching. Just curious, that's all.
    Anyways, thanks for the link, Peter.
