I don't understand what's the big deal either. Those who REALLY want to chase and secure a box will go through the hassle to get one. If you didn't get one you didn't work hard enough for it. Just my opinion.

The face boxes last year weren't much of a hassle at all to get......
I just called Uptowns and got put on a list. I didn't even attend the event.

I just walked into Belle Meade premium cigars and he has 10 dress boxes and a couple boxes for sales of singles. He had 31 yesterday.

I'm not normally one to chime in on these type of things, but I will agree with EJ. While personally a fan of Tatuaje cigars, I'm also a fan of inventive business practices. Take for example the recent release of some very limited beers. Same problem. Too many people want them, not enough production. Isn't that exactly the type of demand that a company wants ? I won't be searching out for the series this year, mostly cause I have other priorities and my taste have changed (love the "Twang") in the past 2 years, but I'm jealous of Pete, his ability to maintain a constant fervor, a longing, a desire to have his product has launched a "Monster" (pun intended) of a business. I can only hope that when it comes time to open my business venture, I can create as much passion (love or hate) as Pete has.

Well put EJ and that seems to be the issue here. Too many people, retailers included seem to take it personal if they don't get any or more than their original allotment. A lot of guys have said they didn't like any of the Monsters but I would be curious to see the results if they were given the stick unbanded with no info as the hype may have had them expecting too much from it

Look for those the last week of the month when the bulk of Tatuaje retailers get their shipments. New Havana will probably have them and sell out in 5 minutes. I had good luck with Atlantic last year with the Face.

Thanks, I've had luck with Atlantic on Viajes releases, so I'll check with them first.

I called my local store, and both my boxes and Pete himself will be there tomorrow.

That's what they said. It's a release party with sales on all Tat (except Wolfman) and even a limited edition Dupont lighter (too rich for my blood).
I'm looking forward to getting my boxes signed. If there are any extra boxes, I'll see if I can get some for guys here...but I'm not counting on it. |

But when you get your box signed you must ask him if he really is Pete Johnson. There is an impostor out there who swears he's really Pete. He showed me his tattoos and everything. A darned good copy, but still a copy.
