שלחן ערוך הרב encourages to be machmir, so was curious about it

From a pashtus halacha perspective. Like he always does.

[Dan]

From the few things that stems from the BS"T so probably followed by all chassidim.

Uh. Plenty of things in chabad chasidus are attributed to the BS"T.

Have you ever heard R' Twersky's (Pittsburgh) song about the various peculiarities in Chabad (some in contradiction to what the AR paskens in his Shulchan Oruch)?

I had great experience at Mogilevski. But Yaniver esrogim are being sold practically everywhere, not only in CH.

Not better selection, but better prices, sure.  (Though if you're looking for very clean ones you'll have an harder time, but if you'll find one you'll definitely pay less for it than elsewhere)

Yes, there are very few clean ones this year for some reason. I found a beautiful one BH last night.

what price range if I may ask ?

[yelped]

Don't know. I believe in the $200 range. Bought it from a FM who I just pay whatever he asks. He only had 4-5 Yaneve with a pitum. Could be he's still getting more.

Didn't answer the question.

[yelped]

I didn't ask. I was just told it's very hard to find a clean one this year.

[zalman2bis]

Do more Yanevers have a pitom than usual this year?

In the one place I shopped so far, noticed right away that there were much more pitom esrogim
