I'm reposting this from the other thread....

"The plan is to sell 666 limited edition boxes of 13 to 13 retailers on the 13th of Oct. and have 1300 plain boxes of 10 sold the week of Halloween to my top 130 retailers."-Pete

More comments from Pete-

"No Band Needed"

"The plan is to sell 666 limited edition boxes of 13 to 13 retailers on the 13th of Oct. and have 1300 plain boxes of 10 sold the week of Halloween to my top 130 retailers."

"No Bella. Sub series is done. But yes Gunner would have been it. Which I wanted to do but it's too much work."- NOTE: Sounds like no more of the Actor series?

Sorry guys for adding another thread, I guess this could have stayed in the "tatuajeanarchy.com" thread. I should have checked there first.

Hopefull I'll finally get my hands on a monster series stick! I missed out on the Frank and Drac.

At first glance I thought the looked like Kristoffs. Hmmm, maybe all the bashing is where the whole Anarchy theme stemmed from?:r

at least he's getting smart and putting out almost 2000 boxes, hopefully this will cut down on all the retarded sales tactics like last year, ie: scavenger hunt

duckmanco 04-21-2010 06:20 PM

Re: More Tat News: "The Face"- Monster #3
 
^^^ No, it probably won't, you underestimate the fire that burns deep within the fanboys souls.

Happy hunting for those that will find value in these. I ain't buying it though.

56 ring gauge?

No thanks. Add in the fact that they'll be limited, easy PASS.

I didn't catch that monster ring the first time I looked. Wow. That'll probably make it easy to get ahold of some. Maybe it had to be big enough to get that look with the different colored wrappers? Or is that just from the cellphone pic?

MedicCook 04-21-2010 08:02 PM

Re: More Tat News: "The Face"- Monster #3
 
I would love to have one but will not get my hopes up for anything when it comes to another Tat limited release.

bigfathwt 04-21-2010 08:28 PM

Re: More Tat News: "The Face"- Monster #3
 
Welp, I guess I'll bite as this on my first post but.....

Why all the hate on the big ring guage? I'm guessing personal preference, but the way that was said (in my head at least) made me think it was a common sentiment among other people. As a matter of fact, I think of my favorite smokes so far is one of the thickest: LGC Serie R #7 Maduro.

Anyway, it just made me curious.

loki 04-21-2010 08:36 PM

looks interesting...probably overpriced and tasteless but interesting none the less

You'll probably find that sentiment more on the forums than say in a local B&M. Cigar makers wouldn't keep making large ring gauges if they didn't sell, so while the american market at large is going toward big ring gauges people that are a little more cigar obsessed than the average consumer tend to prefer thinner ring gauge smokes. There is a better filler to wrapper ratio and IMHO, more complexity to the thinner smokes, even though that may seem counterintuitive. I think it mostly comes from smoking CCs, I didn't really understand the lancero until I had a few long and skinny CCs.

Another hyped up Tat release. At least I can get the FFOX year round and at a bunch of retailers.

The big ring is uncomfortable to me. Hard to hold in my teeth and do what I'm doing. Smaller rings are just more comfortable to smoke.
I can't imagine a better size than a 46 ring box pressed. :tu

Me neither...I'm not sure if that would fly with me. I lose patience with the jaw-busters pretty quickly.

you guys see the 40 ct NHC cigars yet, they actually something i may be interested in, i think theyre the same blend as SW, I will buy maybe if smaller boxes...they come in 40 ct , 20 nat, 20 maddie

cigarlvr 04-22-2010 07:11 PM

Re: More Tat News: "The Face"- Monster #3
 
Bet the NHC cigars will cost some coin but also bet they will sell out in a flash

I like how they blend in with the wooden table.:r





Big Tat/Pete Johnson fan here by the way.:D

I know these are gonna be a real pain to get ahold of, but I'm down to give them a whirl! I have yet to try any of the Monster releases, but I like the rest of the Tat line, so I figure I'll start with the easiest ones to get, i.e. the ones that you can buy at a B&M

Dooge 04-22-2010 11:50 PM

Re: More Tat News: "The Face"- Monster #3
 
i personally think they look great. If/when i get my hands on one, i'm sure i'll enjoy it

Re: More Tat News: "The Face"- Monster #3
 
Just a quick word about the ring gauge.....This is meant to be fun and meant to resemble the monster. The actor was 6' 4" tall so I made it 6 3/8 inches long. He was also a heavier person so a fat 56 seemed to fit perfect. To me the 54 I thought about doing was not fat enough to resemble Leatherface and of curse I didn't want to go bigger......

The reason I made more, was so people could get a hold of them easier. Jitzy, please don't blame Dan from NHC for trying to come up with a creative way for everyone to have a fair chance at purchasing them last year. He could have sold them all to a small list of regulars but he wanted to give more people a chance....

Hopefully this year I'll get the chance to try a Monster!
