So these are pretty much sold out?

Brutus2600 · 11-10-2010, 11:03 AM

Glad to hear it Doug

I called an ordered a box about an hour ago. They said they had something like 40ish boxes left.

Adam was a great guy to deal with ... was smoking one while I was on the phone with him

Seems like a pretty sweet deal for these shops that get limited releases from Pete Johnson. Of course I don’t profess to know much about the business of running a shop, but I would assume that it is not to norm to get X number of phone calls from all over the country to purchase 200 boxes of cigars from your shop in a few weeks(days?).

I understand someone like Holts or CI doing A LOT of online and phone biz…. But I had never heard of Gloucester Street Cigars, Barclay Rex or Centro(where I bought my box of “the Face”), before trying to acquire these sticks….. Don’t know the exact shop in Hawaii that had the T110’s….but was able to get in on a split with that as well…. These shops get a nice sales bump and then, depending on your experience with them, maybe a repeat customer.

I know that there has appeared to be some gouging on the Monster release stuff from a few shops, but it appears that the T110, Pork Tenderloin and Barclay Rex releases have gone smoothly????

Anyway, I think it is kind of neat for whatever reason. Develop a possible relationship with a shop(know this is not important with some, but depending on where you live, it may be VERY important), get a nice cigar to try, shops get a small cash influx....everyone wins.

Yeah, Pete likes to do fun projects at the same time as giving a reward of some sorts to his loyal clients/B&M's. Some people are sick of Pete doing LE's, but so many clients come up with ideas and beg Pete to do these... I think it's fun for Pete to work with his clients to come up with new ideas and let's face it, the results are usually great cigars.

I laugh when people get pissed and call him Pete Patel and the like... Rocky/Gurkha throws out **** cigars just to get more products out there (with exceptions)... Pete puts out quality product because Pepin would not allow it otherwise.

Think about it, would you want to do the same thing over and over in your job? Hell no. Doing new things keeps it interesting for Pete as well as keeping your name out in the public attracting new customers.

These showed up at around 9am today.

Brutus2600 · 11-11-2010, 12:02 PM

Verynice! I'm guessing mine will show up this evening or Friday (UPS delivers late here)

Dunkel · 11-12-2010, 10:15 AM

Mine showed up today. They look and smell great! I want to smoke one now but will wait a week, just in case.

Couldn't wait a week, so I smoked one tonight. Very good smoke! I agree with the others who've smoked them, time will make these amazing.

I've gotta agree, I enjoyed these much better than The Face.

Smoking one now. Buy them while you can. You won't regret it. Also, I am not finding it nearly as strong as some of the reviews. Great flavors of pepper, chocolate, cinnamon, leather. Very worth while.

Brutus2600 · 11-12-2010, 02:20 PM

Something showed up today! As in my boxes of this cigar!

Pics in the NC purchase thread soon...

Wow, more than 1 huh?

Brutus2600 · 11-12-2010, 02:51 PM

Well, multiple boxes yes, but I setup a box split with some people in the first thread about this cigar. So...they aren't really all my cigars

lol

Great news! Cant wait to see em!

Brutus2600 · 11-13-2010, 10:56 AM

Smoked one of these yesterday, what a great cigar! I really enjoyed it but I have a feeling these will only get exponentially better with even a little age on them, much less 6-12 months

688sonarmen · 11-13-2010, 11:14 AM

Hmm, I think I will be firing one up tonight!

Louistogies · 11-14-2010, 01:44 AM

I wonder if these are sold out. My friend and I want a box. I'm gonna call them tomorrow.

I heard they have a small amount left (as of about a week ago), not sure if they sold out yet or not...looks like they went fast.
