Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

The people at Empire are very nice... I had to call back today and add another box to my order... so i am at 3 now...

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

I got the Drac card!

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

Yes I am curious on this as well......also I am curious why they are releasing them in batches to some retailers. I did not get in line quick enough on the pre-orders to be in the first shipment from my retailer.

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

I really like tats, but are these little monsters good?

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

From my limited comparisons(aka only the Face and Wolfman), they're as good, if not better(in the case of the Wolfie). I've heard my thoughts echoed from many customers and friends who have tried them.

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

i guess i have to find a shop in cali...to try them..thanks..brah..:)

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

I would try and get put on a list to buy a box...not as limited as previous monster releases...but still......better safe than sorry

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

oh..okay, thanks:)

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

I don't know what the store situation is in California...but here in Portland...I can't get a straight answer out of any of the B&M's if they are even going to receive any.....at all.....so I had to go online to do so

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

which company did you go to?

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

I ended up going with 3jcigar. But I think they might have filled up their first shipment....I would check out...and make a phonecall to see if they will ship right away or if they are waiting for their second shipment to a few places.....corona, high quality cigars are a few...and federal cigars...might be good...just don't want to be put on the wait list for the second shipment if possible..that is my input...anyone else have any wisdom?

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

We're expecting 50 more boxes with this next shipment at work. I plan to grab one from each of our shipments(we'll be getting one more after this next round)

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

Okay..thanks:)

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

smoke inn had a 5 pack, besides the 10 cigars..maybe i'll buy from them. thanks ironchefscott...hey..are you going to the so cal herf at the end of this month?

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

Sadly I no longer live in So cal...I live in portland oregon now...and did not realize how much fun it would be in so cal for such a mega herf....next year.....but if you ever make it up here...we do have an amazing beer thing going.......hit me up.!

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

:tpd: me too and only two of my three boxes shipped.:td

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

oh.. bummer:( yeah.. it's a blast:) do you have herfs in oregon? that would be kool if you can make it next year.. :) if you can't we'll just keep messaging..:)
i forgot to ask, which is your fav tat?

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

I would love to go next year.....they have some mellow herfs(usually on the days I am working) nothing really that big that I have heard of(please let me know any oregon folk if I am just missing out on something) My favorite tat that I have had is a tie between the black label PL, and the noella....but I have really really wanted to try a barclay rex badly!

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

hope you can... oh.. we do a alittle one twice a month..really small, otherwise, we wait until the so cal herf. oh..i like the reserva once in awhile..i think i enjoy most of them.. i went to see what barclay rex is..is it a store and online co? well...i gotta go to school now..i'll keep in touch...may:)

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

Corona is sold out of their first shipment. Called and got on the waiting list for the second, which they are hoping for next week

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

Here is the stick I was talking about.....http://www.halfwheel.com/?p=9721

and it is a b&m as well....as you can see....it is the stick that is the holy grail to me at the moment....

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

I was under the impression that the Mini-Monsters would be readily available at 5K or 10K boxes worth. Reading here that some brothers are having a hard time getting them and/or places are selling out, is it that Pete is just shipping them out in waves?

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

Yep, only a small amount has been released. I believe the next wave should be arriving to most vendors the end of this week or early next week. There should be plenty to go around.

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

:gary Pulled the trigger. Also pre ordered a box of the little boris from corona cigar. I really hope I do not regret this like the Barclay Rex, that was the last LE I chased and was extremely let down by it. (And yes I traded them long ago)

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

Might just be the first person to complain about the barclay rex

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

I wasn't that thrilled with them either. Wish I had money for the Mini-Boris. Oh well, I'll just have to smoke the originals. :D

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

nice:)

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

yeah.. but its all about preference...if you checked the reviews on little monsters..the rating scale was not all the same either...

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

Smoking a baby face now while placing an order for the little boris. Hope i wasn't to late on pulling the trigger.

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

3Js charged me...but can't seem to let me know if I made the first shipment or second shipment. :td :td

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

I'll take a THOUSAND boxes! :rolleyes:

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

whats the difference from the mini monsters and the little monsters?

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

Same thing. Some guys refer to them as Little Monsters while others call them Mini Monsters. I think prior to release the rumor was they were going to be called Little Monsters.:sh

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

an excuse for the wife to buy two boxes :D

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

if only it was that easy

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

Lil Boris still available!

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

They still have about 10 boxes in at the place near me if anyone wants and is having problems getting some. I don't think they ship but if you want I can pick them up. I think its $80 a box but not 100%.

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

oh.. ok thanks:)

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

i thought it was a mixed set of 10? please enlighten me..

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

The Lil Boris are a Corona exclusive. Since they're not a part of the Monster Series they are not included in the Little Monsters. The Little Monsters include Frank Jr, Lil' Drac, Baby Face, Wolfie, Mini Mum(the new blend to be released this fall).

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

The Boris was a part of Pete's "actor" series, which includes just the Boris....

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

I have spent hours searching and calling and have gotten almost nothing, so usual Pete Bull. Which sucks because I love most of what he makes and want them.

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

3js shipped my order today Mac. Just an FYI

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

Holts had some earlier today. I placed an order for a box this morning and they shipped it out today.

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

Not happy they charged my CC and my order hasn't even shipped yet. I called them and they assured me that if my CC was charged, I'm getting a box. I was like, No sh!t, I better be. Will not order from them again.

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

I know how y'all feel. I ordered a bundle of Mexican Experiments from 3J's on the 11th. They were listed as in stock. I never got an e mail letting me know they were waiting for the last 100 bundles available to arrive. Had to call twice and both times was assured that they would ship them as soon as they got in. I doubt I'll ever buy anything from them again.

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

I've never had a business charge me until the item shipped. Poor business practice if you ask me.

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

oh i see..thanks for the info:)
:D

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

It's called a no interest loan. Our power company does it all the time. I get a bill twice as high
as it should be, then the next month I get a $15 dollar bill. It's a scam.

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 

Plus they can charge you a higher rate for all of the "extra" electricity you use. Sometimes they even give you the "little" bill first. I've been watching them lately and called a couple times and they've stopped doing that - at least for now.

West Coast companies still haven't received their MM's yet, so there should be plenty around within a week or two.
