Tatuaje -The Face
 
Per Pete's tradition, the retailers have been announced for this year's edition of the Monster series, The Face. For those that are Tat whores (like myself) start making your calls.

Does anyone know if any of these retailers would be willing to sell a box?

Thoughts on the new site? I like it. I've been feeling deprived not having a Tatuaje site up and running.

Interested to see when the Saints and Sinners stuff gets launched too.

I'm awaiting to hear that. I'm put down for 2 boxes we'll see if they'll hold them.

Of course they will be selling boxes... how they will do that is up to them.

I hear ya Elderboy, I put in one text msg and that is it. If I get a box great, otherwise I'm just looking forward to some of the cigars on Halloween.

I can't believe CI is on the list

The main reason is that lists don't mean $hit. Last year I was on Outlaw Cigars list and they never called me back. I was also on some other shops lists and never got a call from anyone

I had two places by me last year that changed the way they were going to sell them a couple of times. I would like to pickup 2-3 sticks for myself, but I'm not willing to go through what I did last year trying to get some Dracs. :confused:

As soon as they open them to "inspect them" and remove the ticket, if it is there. ;)

(assuming of course they do some giveaway again)


Pardon me, I need more coffee and pepto, lol.

My local BM, Centro, is getting them. I dont care about the LE box, I just want a few singles.

This year it will be a bit different...only 13 boxes at $666 per stick! Good Luck! :r:r:noon:noon:noon

Sucky thing is despite it being such a large retailer they will probably only sell to walk ins in the main super store. :td

Dukeuni 10-01-2010 01:49 PM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
I admit it, I always fall for this act. I have purchased boxes of The Frank and The Drac, and I am on three different lists for The Face. I also admit that I really am a fan of the boxes, and I REALLY want one of the 666 dress boxes. Yes yes, it is sad, but I just love the Monster series for some reason.

6 3/8" and 56 rg.......damn that is a big cigar. I'm with Dan on this one....I'm going to sit on the sidelines and wait to hear the stories about trying to acquire these. I admit....the boxes look sick and PJ is a marketing genius....kudos to him!

Damn there is a lot of excitement for this gar today. To bad they are not coming any where near the NW.

So I just found out today that I have to go underway as early as next week for two weeks to support a submarine that needs help. I was expecting to be here since Im on shore duty and not sea duty anymore. I am asking if someone could take an order for me. I know its a long shot and all but worth a try.

I am NOT in this year. GL to all of you who are!!

neoflex 10-01-2010 04:28 PM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
I found a box of Drac and Boris last year by accident three weeks after the release. I grabbed the box of Boris' but passed on the Drac as initial reviews were far from stellar. Still kicking myself for that one. If nothing else the box would have looked sweet on the garage wall. We'll see how it goes this year.

gijoey959 10-01-2010 04:30 PM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
As much as I want a box, it sounds like a pain in the bum for cigars that I'll probably have 1 of and store the rest since I'll never find another box

I have no interest in this release whatsoever. Now if it was a re-release of the Pork Tenderloin, I'd be all over it!

smelvis 10-01-2010 04:49 PM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
If I run across them I'll buy, I won't wait in line or beg.

acarr 10-01-2010 04:59 PM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
I will let everyone else play the game this year. For those that get an extra box, I have a box of Boris or Dracs to trade.:D

Dukeuni 10-01-2010 05:30 PM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
I have to say that I am really surprised to only see 39 posts in this thread so far. I remember last year's ongoing thread, with people discussing getting on lists, not getting through phones, etc. It seems REALLY quite so far for this release. Wonder if the marketing and craze for these cigars has just finally gotten old to a lot of people.

Even in this threat there are a lot of people who say they will not jump on the band wagon this year.

Oh well, maybe it means I will have a easier time getting my boxes ;-)

People don't have money either. It is real tough to get people to open up their wallets now days. I know I have cut back drastically.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
I'm pissed I forgot about this today, I was really excited to nab some of these... No point getting on the lists now :(

Maybe something will pop up though, never know

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
I honestly can say none of the Monster Series have floored me...not even close so I'll be skipping these for sure and sticking to the Brown Labels that never seem disappoint me:2

Beagleone 10-01-2010 07:11 PM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
The retailer I use has a list of some 40 names already. For a while there, the phone lines were jammed. I am sure the number will be greater by Monday.

montecristo#2 10-01-2010 09:39 PM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
Might have to trade a frank coffin for an empty box of these.

I will wait until the 1300 boxes come out and some small shop will be happy to get rid of them.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
I had REALLY hoped to nab a collector's box of these (even if it was just for a split) as I have the previous boxes, but I really don't expect to be able to ... none of the "Unlucky 13" retailers are exactly near my base in Japan, lol, and most (just like last year) won't be taking many orders over the phone.

s15driftking 10-02-2010 06:24 AM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
I'd rather spend less headache getting some cigars I know I like (probably cheaper too).

I will admit though, Pete and I "had it out" mano-a-mano at a local B&M last year and the "limited release" topic was discussed in depth on my list of "things I'd say to Pete J." and his reasoning was acceptable in my opinions (for that topic).

HK3- 10-02-2010 06:57 AM

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 
Was at my local b&m yesterday having a few smokes listening to the word on the street about these. They are getting 41 of the 666 boxes to be released and they are not taking pre-orders. One of the employees was taking a count on how many phone calls he received for people who wanted to be on a waiting list. The count was up to 48 calls when I left yesterday.

At $18-$20 a stick.... I think I will buy some sig VI's instead. :2
