That doesn't mean that everything has just
been going off without any hitch, though. "Per-
haps the most persistent challenge that we have
been facing during the ongoing shortage is that
apart from dealing with rising demand from our
regular customers we also were approached by
new customers who were desperate to lay their
hands on some tobacco," Sagara explained. He
added that the company revised and improved its
buying and shipping methods in an attempt to ac-
quire tobacco inventories faster and subsequently
shipping them out faster too. "That proved not so
easy mainly because of the many new customers
who continue turning to us because their previous
suppliers have run out of stock," he said. "But I
think we sort of manage."
