On a side note. Pete posted this on another board I am a member of.
He is somewhat active on this other board. After a small amount of negative feedback and customers asking for more boxes that I don't have, I had some thoughts and ideas about the Monster program. I would love feedback on what I think might be the only fair way. Next year all the Coffin Shaped numbered special boxes of 13 will be reduced back to 666 boxes and distributed by Gloucester Street since they are the birthplace of the series. They will set a box limit per customer, first come first serve, phone orders, walk ins, etc. These will go on sale on October 13th. I will make an additonal 31000 cigars packed in plain boxes of 10 that will sell to all and any regular loyal current Tatuaje stores. They can order whatever they want for their customers and the product will be delivered after November 1st to the retailers. The cigars will be the exact same shape, flavor and price but with a generic Tatuaje Band and maybe a secondary band saying the initials of the actor who played the current years Monster. This would be considered the Monster out of Costume. This is the only way I think might work to give everyone a chance to buy and smoke the cigars but the collectors can choose to buy them early for the funky numbered box. Love any comments on this. Pete The response to this was not so positive so it does not look like this will actually happen. Someone then recommended something like the Having CRA run the sale and the boxes shipped to your local Tatuaje retailer. So basically guys the sale of the monster series may change next year. Its all up in the air. If anyone wants to know the board this discussion is going on at send me a PM. I dont want to post the board as it may violate our forum rules. |

I saw that too.
Pete is a marketing genius. He's already hyping what he may or may not do next year. ![]() I stopped giving a darn about the limited stuff. None of it seemed any better, only that it was limited. Just turned off by the whole artificial demand of it all. Pete could make as many of these as he wanted. But then we wouldn't be worked up in a lather about them, would we? Edit to add: You should see some of the activity about these. It's like a bunch of teenage girls going nuts over Hanna Montana tickets. ![]() No offense to any teenage girls, or Hanna Montana if they're on here...

Is this the new Opus?? They seem to have a way of distributing "limited" cigars. Maybe take a note from them?

It's all of us cigars "fans/crazies/etc." that are making this more than it needs to be. Figure everything is limited. I don't know of any shop that has EVERY cigar out there. If you can't get it; well see if someone will sell you one. Otherwise; dig into your overloaded humi/cooler/cabinet and enjoy one of your smokes.
Really... it is just cigars guys.

Agreed to a large extent. Also agree Pete is a marketing genius and I actually posted that on his thread on another board.
That said I really did like the T110 and I am glad I have a few left. Some of his special stuff is good if its your flavor. The T110 is also very different from his usual stuff but similar to the El Cohete. Guess there is only so many ways to skin a cat. ![]() I will grab a few of these, but I am not looking for a box. It just seems to much work. I will save my box money for CC regionals ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I was shocked these local shops were doing lists and screwing their locals. I actually think these shops made a smart business decision by taking care of their loyal and local customers over other persons. It is fair in my book. Its fair to the local customers who keep the shops doors open and buy Petes product throught the year. The reason why they are getting the sticks in the first place. So I think what the shops are doing now is much more fair to their actual true patrons then what was occurring before. Thats why I think Dona at Mission while a pain sometimes is smart. Who does she take care of first? The people that keep her doors open every day. After the people that actually keep her in business are helped then she helps others. Sorry to disagree but the shops made the smart business decision and are treating their true customers fair in my book |

If anyone in the SO FL area is looking to grab a box there is a B&M by the name of Aficionado's that is getting 3 boxes, one of which is already reserved. I don't think he will ship. Just giving you a heads up.

See I am a PC max Robusto or CG guy. That stick is way big for my usual style of smoke. That is why I liked the Pork Chop, T110 and El Cohete so much. That stick would take me hours to smoke.
I will definetly be good with a few sticks. If I got a box I would end up selling off sticks. |

I agree that the retailers should not have changed horses midstream. They should have had a bit more forethought and should not have started taking reservations before offering their regulars an opportunity. ![]() |
