Hopefully I can find a 10 ct box around online. No shops around here carry tats so I am out of luck locally.

Re: The Wolfman
 
Bummer!

The shop just called and said they didn't get enough dress boxes to cover my order. So I'm only getting one regular box.

Maybe something will change when I get there, but at least I'll have some Wolfman to try out and trade.

Was it the guy below that we saw in Nicaragua? Was funny as hell as the first picture is of Pete, then later that night we saw the guy below after the club in Esteli... we had to do a total double take as he looked just like Pete, minus the tats though! LOL

Pete reminds me of some actor. I can't place who, but I swear it's like I know him from somewhere. Even his voice (watching some YouTube interviews) sounds familiar.

That's precisely why you need to ask him when you see him if he is, in fact, the real Pete Johnson.

Not sure who he reminds you of visually, but to me his voice sounds exactly like Seth Rogan. They couldn't look more different though.

Its Goldberg for sure.
I swear if Pete was on roids they'd be twins. Sound identical.

He does sound like Rogen, all he needs is the stoner laugh.

I got my hook up tonight. Pete is a nice guy. And totally sounds like Seth Rogan.

Box #15 and lighter #35

I had to get the lighter to get the dress box. The lighter will probably hit eBay, and I'm not sure which box I'm keeping and which goes up as trade bait.

Even though they said they wouldn't sell individual sticks, they had three boxes open just for singles. I'm kicking myself for not picking up a couple singles. After I grabbed some food and chatted with Pete, I turned around and all the singles (And their empty boxes) were long gone.

Once I figure out which box I'm keeping for myself, the other will be available. I don't yet have access to b/s/t, and I'm only doing my first newb trade this week. So it will be a little bit yet. I'm sure someone will post some Wolfman for sale/trade soon either way.

Keep in mind that the regular shipments of non dress boxes have yet to hit the regular dealers shops. Once that happens you should have no problems scoring some. If you have a local Tat dealer call them up and see if you can score a non dress box before they arrive. I tried to gab a couple singles at my local but every box was accounted for so they didn't even have one to put out on the shelves. Not to sound greedy but I am trying to score a non dress box when that happens so I can smoke out of that first.

Ugh, frustrating. I am in Chicago and I called at 3:30pm to see if they had any dress boxes left for the event before I spent 80.00 on cab fare.

I was told they were all sold out and had no dress or 10ct boxes for the event. Now I see that they did have boxes.

Why can't shops just be straight......I have been to this shop several time before to so.....

Oh well, thems the breaks

They had 4 boxes, but you had to buy the $300 lighter to get one.

I'm putting the lighter up on eBay shortly since I only wanted the boxes.

Great, but that's not what they said. They said they were all sold out before the event. Oh, well, not like they needed my money anyway, they are doing just fine and if I was living near there they have a killer lounge.

No crap... what a way to sell $300+ lighters!?! I thought it was bad a couple years ago when a certain B&M made me buy another Tat box to get a Monster box. At least I had no problems smoking the cigars... but to have to buy a DuPont??? :td

btw, good luck on selling the lighter brother... I've had buyers remorse after events and it's no fun! Not saying you do, but just hoping someone will want that lighter.

Re: The Wolfman
 
Making you buy a lighter is not cool at all, I consider that bad business practices and would never visit such a store that had that kind of requirement. The Seattle store has a lottery for dress boxes and is only allowing people to buy two sticks from the regular boxes. I can see how that might anger some but I think it is a good way to allow all of thee customers to get a taste...

I guess if Pete was there he could have put a stop to it. Apparently he was cool with it.

I'm with Mychal, Ryan and the Admiral. $300 for a $125 lighter with "Tatuaje" on it. Way to go Pete :td :td

In case anyone is interested the Wolfman goes on sale at NHC today at 1:00 PM EST and then again on Saturday at 8:00 AM EST.

ktblunden 10-13-2011 07:25 AM
Re: The Wolfman
 
The requirement to buy the lighter in order to get a dress box is crap, IMO. I think the pricing on those in the first place is beyond ridiculous. I ended up winning the Face set at an event earlier this year and while the lighter is the best torch I've ever used, it's certainly not worth the price they're charging for them. In fact, I would have a hard time paying the $125 the regular Maxijet goes for when it isn't branded.

And yeah, I wouldn't count on being able to recoup that cost on ebay. Maybe in 6 months or so if these are no longer available you might be able to get a decent amount for one, but I wouldn't count on these things selling out. There are still Face sets available.

Every year P.T. finds a new way to prison poke people if they want to get ahold of his Halloween release. Every year people line up to be prison poked. I guess they enjoy it. "Squeal! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

I couldn't bring myself to ask. I still don't understand why you guys think there is a fake running around. And besides, the dude is BIG! He was 6'1" and broad shouldered and big armed. OH! I think I realized who he reminds me of!

I totally have buyers remorse...I just wanted two boxes of Wolfman, one to trade/smoke and one to put in storage for a few years.

My feelings exactly. But the odd thing, it seemed like he had nothing to do with the cigars...there were these really pushy used car salesmen types there pushing boxes of tat into peoples arms. I was going to walk away till I saw two of the 4 boxes of Tats get up and sell as I was debating the purchase.

Funny you mention that. The used car salesmen type pushing the sticks bragged about how the lighter was going to go up by $100 in the next year. And I responded with, "yeah, and that's why The Face lighter is selling on eBay for $200 right now".

But I still bought one. No one said I was smart. :=: Anyone want a lighter?

At events Pete generally has nothing at all to do with sales. He has already sold his product to the store and it's their business what they do with it from that point. It's disappointing that he didn't have any objections to the requirements to get a dress box, but then again, he's also pushing the ridiculously overpriced lighters as his product. I really wish he would end his relationship with ST Dupont and do away with the dress boxes entirely and just let the release be about the cigars.

LOL, yeah. Was he at least smoking something nice while he was blowing all that smoke up your ass? Typical slimy salesman rhetoric.

For NHC with the limiteds you need to be logged in with all your payment info and shipping details already entered into their system to stand a chance so you can click add to cart and than checkout. 2 minutes is amazingly quick though!
