why does every Tatuaje thread turn into a "Do you hate Tatuaje" thread?

Because people are tired of PT Johnson's gimmicks and BS and just want to enjoy good without all of the smoke and mirror tricks?

Yay one more cigar, that I am sure will be great, but I won't be able to find. And when I finally do I have to pay 3x msrp

Yep.

The cigar industry is different than most others. Its all about the product in the cigar world. Thats it. If you produce a great cigar, it will sell.

IMO, Pete has already established himself and his cigars. The majority of people like his cigars. So anything he releases now and in the future will cause a buzz without all the marketing. He should back off the marketing, save a butt load of money, and let the crazy cigar folks talk up the cigars. He is a house hold name and shouldn't market his line/cigars like he is new anymore

That's really only applicable to the forum crowds and a small percentage of non-forum types. Outside of that circle, he's still tiny, attempting to grow into small. Altadis or General probably sells more cigars in less than a week than he does in a year.

Hence the reason for the continued marketing.

If it works for him, great, go for it. I don't personally need or care for his parlor tricks, but at the end of the day, they really don't mean **** to me. Yes, I have fun poking at some of it, but I don't keep myself awake at night fretting over Pete's marketing campaign.

Ultimately, any increase in his sales is beneficial to the industry as a whole, because it pulls consumers further in. The further in that they are pulled, they more they buy, and not just his cigars, as they start looking around and venturing into other manufacturers.

And right now, with the S-CHIT taxes and more restrictions and regulations coming down the pipe seemingly daily, any one cigar maker or manufacturer's increase in sales benefits all cigar makers and manufacturers.

So since I get sick of your "i'm so great" attitude I can go on here and say you are a tool?

I think that the mod's would put an end to it if I was personally attacking you all the time.

Show the same respect and be a decent human being.

Sure, call me whatever you want.

Who knows, give it a try. Take a risk!

Show the same respect and be a decent human being.

OK!

I apologize for calling you a tool, Pete. What I really meant is that I don't care for your strategy for building hype on your cigars. I know that is the core of marketing, building anticipation for something. However I don't like how upset it makes people when they search, search, search and are sad when they cannot find them.

Pete,

I personally love your blends and they are one of the few NC's I buy on a regular basis.

While I don't go too crazy looking for the hard to finds, I am a huge fan of the brown label regios.

I did stumble upon some Blacks in the tube at Corona in Orlando recently and enjoyed them a bunch.

...and is this different from finding many other sticks how? Fuentes, Padrons, and many others not to mention certain Cuban marcas were, or still are just as hard to find if not harder.




The way I look at it, if a person dosent like a brand for whatever reason, just dont buy them. Period. Pretty simple concept really & it dosent require a Masters degree to figure out.

I havent ever smoked a Tat anything to be honest and it would be probably safe to assume I wont like them, but geeze man OBVIOUSLY many folks do, so why should I knock what someone else enjoys?

To each their own. If you aint footing the bill for someone else's Tat's, you got nothing to say other than you dont like the cigars.

Or anything else for that matter...cell phones, dvds, concert and sporting event tickets...etc. If somebody feels sad enough times over something that's really important to them...they'll figure out what needs to be done to stop feeling sad. IE: Find out how to obtain whatever they feel is important, or make it unimportant anymore. Those people who aren't on the different cigar boards, don't know that the majority of boutique cigars even exist...so they have no reason for bad feelings. And for those of us who are on the different cigar boards monitoring every move out favorite blenders make...well, we're poorer for it...

And as if chasing Tat's wasn't bad enough...now there's this Andre guy...
