I'm surprised that if you removed the exception block, that you still get
your exception message (" Expecting to have order, but session doesn't have
one").  Maybe I am not understanding you.

Anyways, here is what I mean about narrowing your exception handling.  This
might not be your problem, but it's a good alternative to rescuing every
exception:

 class HomeGrownError < StandardError
 end

 ...
 ...
 ...

 protected
 # This is where I am caching the exceptions.
 def check_for_existing_order
   unless current_order?
     begin
       raise HomeGrownError("Expecting to have order, but session doesn't
have one")
     rescue HomeGrownError => exception
       ExceptionNotifier::Notifier.exception_notification(request.env,
exception).deliver
     ensure
       redirect_to root_path unless Rails.env.development?
       return
     end
   end
 end
