Engineers Max allocations of Kamitra Cigars & Fujin Tea, anyone?

I would like to visit the tea man.

To do that I am first obliged to visit the cigar woman.

Could any kind soul please help me to climb their time walls as quickly as possible by telling me what the current maxima are on their respective rares before the commodities markets will cease to deliver?

(I have googled but all the online resources seem a bit old.)

Much obliged,

Truesilver

EDIT: Answering my own question about the cigars, it's 15. Tea, anyone?

My experience with the cigars... First stop 15 upon arrival, an hour + later sitting in dock, another 6.... Some hours later.... Bed time after running missions while waiting for the damned cigars.
Day two. Decided to deliver the 21 cigars I had because they are illegal in some systems and it was proving a pain while doing missions. Got another 15 cigars and ran them for delivery too so they weren't sitting in my hold.
Day 3. Upon next arrival I find 36 in the stn! I only need another 14! Rolls eyes. Sell them at Susano en-route to deliver remaining cigars.

Can I be       to go through the same pain over the tea at the moment? No. Time to try and get my Sol permit as my rank is stuck at 100%. Why have Navy missions become so hard to find? Even when you do, no simple delivery or smuggling missions but instead 'go track down x in system y' which are usually a pointless run around for me. I hate vague missions with unclear objectives and unclear costs or threats.
 
With rares there is a max spawn and once you have that many in your hold no more spawn. The spawn is less than or equal to max, depends on BGS plus random factor I think.

It takes 10 minutes before the next lot spawn in station. If it takes longer than 10 minutes to deliver the items and get back you can do the trick where you wait 5km outside the station until your 10 minutes are up. Drop you cargo. Dock and get your next allocation. Go back to the cargo you dropped and use a collector limpet to recollect it. This is what I did. You can repeat but the max cargo you can have in space without it blowing up is 20.

For the tea it took 3 deliveries for the cigars 2 IIRC. I think the tea spawn was something dire like 6...

Be Aware: You can't relog to get more rare goods. You have to deliver them, then come back and repeat 5 times.

If you abandon rare goods outside a station to a waiting second account ship/friend/wingmate, you can pop inside and get more (just have to wait for the re-dock timer and 10-15 minute timer so more of the rare good spawns, but it will let you buy them now you've cleared your hold.

Better be a good friend or wingmate...

"Thanks for holding those for me!"
*Surge Detected*
"Hey where are you off to? With my rare cigars? Wait!"

You used to be able to deliver to yourself if you picked it up afterwards with a limpet, can you still do that?
 
Thanks all.

To clarify, I know the difference between the 10 minute spawn and the maximum. What I was wondering about were the respective maxima before the spawn stops.

I'm still doing the cigars. The 10 minute spawn so far has been between 9 and 14 tons but subject to max cargo of 15.

I note what you say about states
... also not sure whether worth cargo dropping.

If anyone happens to know anything more about the tea allocation, fire away!
 
OP, there are no fixed max allocations anymore. It's related to boom as most favorable, and war/outbreak as the worst.

Give up on cigars right now. Do something else and wait for Kamitra to go into boom. Then you'll hit 30-35 instantly.
 
Just arrived at the Hammel Terminal and got 42 straight away. Just checked - it's BOOM.

Shall I wait for more cigars or just deliver?

EDIT - I decided to do two hops. On my return, another 42 tons were waiting for me. Nice one.
