They still have stock for wave 2 available. I just put a box in my cart to test and it went through

I agree. Same thing happened to be with the skull and bones, now The Face box. I really want a 10 cnt box of these, but I have almost given up at this point.

True, I just scored two more boxes even 30 minutes after the first set sold out.

My hero. When I left work for lunch they had been taken down. I didn't know they were taking orders for the next shipment. Got my order in. Thank you for letting me know.

I got a box for shipping on the 22nd.

Jump on those Face at MSRP. The rip off shops are out there making it impossible to support your local B&M. My local shop quoted me $200 for the 10 ct. Absolutely crazy, but someone will buy them unfortunately.

Bill86 10-20-2010 03:57 PM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
Wow $20 a stick without tax.....JESUS. Out of principle I would not EVER visit that local shop.

Last year I got a box of the Drac's that I split with a buddy I deployed to Iraq with. This year the shop said they were not sure if they would get them so I had all but given up. Today I saw the number on my caller ID 3 hours before I got home from work. I figured I probably missed out but called anyway. They said they knew I would call back and held one of the last two boxes for me and to pick it up today or tomorrow if I wished. I was there in 15 min. Now that's a shop that will always have my business!!! :salute:

It's a shop that had a Pete Johnson event this past weekend. I'm sure they're capitalizing off of that.

That's ridiculous. I would never step foot in that B&M again and I'd tell the owner exactly that. That place wont last long. I missed out on getting the face, but hopefully, someone here will be selling a couple. I really want 2 or 3.

Did they have this pricing when Pete was there or did they jack the price after he left? As per Petes earlier post I would be surprised if they charged that the night of the event but I guess anything is possible.

MiamiE 10-21-2010 06:59 AM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
They had a dress box the night of the event. I showed up ONLY for this purpose, to buy the dress box since I was sure Pete would have brought them. Turns out the sealed box was not for sale and they had one Face in a few retarded sampler packs they were trying to sell for $125. That was the only way to get it. No 10 ct boxes were available till this week when everyone else got them.

and hence Pete would not be there to see the ridiculous pricing. I hate B&Ms that take advantage.

That's insane, they are $15 sticks. Cost of shipping will bump that but those people are almost doubling the price

sikk50 10-21-2010 12:16 PM

Paid 13.25 a stick for mine

Actually they should be priced around $13-$14 tops.

I paid $17.48 a stick(227.26) for a dress box shipped. I was informed that was MSRP + Tax + Shipping. I know for a fact that I was overcharged for shipping(the shipping label was on the box)...and I assume tax was bumped a bit as well....

In the end, I don't feel like I was taken.... I just feel like I paid what I needed to, to get a box of cigars that I wanted to pick up. Sure, $180 to my door would be nice....but probably an unrealistic expectation for me.

mariogolbee 10-21-2010 12:36 PM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
I've seen a range of prices. I picked up a box locally to share and the single price was $15.99 per stick + tax.

mastershogun 10-21-2010 12:51 PM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
I've seen a range of prices as well. Passed up a box... just too much for my blood. But I did do well to get boxes from several other b&ms :banger

$13 is retail I was charged $29 tax on 23 sticks + shipping to me. Most people forget you have to pay tax and A LOT of people have them shipped.

$29 per stick or did you mean $290 for all 23?

cigardan 10-21-2010 01:13 PM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
Please note that taxes vary WIDELY from state to state. Here in NY they just upped the tobacco tax to 75% of the wholesale price, which would add $4.88 to a stick that retails at $13, bringing it to $17.88. That's what I paid, plus 8.6% sales tax. Gotta love the government.

ade06 10-21-2010 01:35 PM

Mine were $14 apiece including tax in Philadelphia.

I hear ya man.. I'm in NY as well, the Government is making it really difficult for the b&m's to stay in business...

For those of you who are still looking to get a box of the Face the Big Easy Cigar Shop still has boxes available. Here's the number 818-762-3279.


Good Luck,

Both my boxes were $130 for 10. I ordered online though.

Brutus2600 10-21-2010 01:43 PM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
Yeah, got my box for $130 too, but then I paid $15 for 2 day shipping. Brought it up to $14.50 a stick.

I appreciated finding these at MSRP. NHC are good people.

issues 10-21-2010 01:44 PM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
I am still trying to get my hands on a box. I'm hoping my luck will turn around soon.

The one B&M I was counting on decided that they were going to break up the boxes and sell the Face in a sampler with a few other cigars I already have and/or have no interest in buying.

neoflex 10-21-2010 01:45 PM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
Sorry, when I stated those prices I should have said most states. Now states like NY and CA, we all know you need to lube up most times before going to your local due to taxes.:D One of the things I really really don't miss about living in NY.

Ya NY sucks but there are places like others mentioned selling them for $20 a stick and this is a place that gets Pete in to help promote their shop, stores like that should be ashamed of themselves.

Must be a Florida thing. That's what another shop down here did.

errr sorry $29 tax total on 23 sticks. 1 dress box and one regular box. That and $9 shipped to me, so $38 over 23 sticks...almost an extra $2 a stick.

Damn Iphone.
