LOL... man that is a bad problem... might I suggest storing them in my brand new vinos never been used?

Or I have plenty of room left in my cab... they will have some good company as friends...

Seriously though I hope you get some...

I might have an arrangement for a box, but I am gonna split it with my boys here in CO... they are dying to try them...

you know I'm all for taking care of members but that is prety low of them to do in this case it's not like these are for sale everywhere and you could just go to another store if you want them. I wouldn't even give them a shot at getting them next year after hearing this if I were pete.

Yeah, that's pretty crappy. Hey Jitzy, the 13 on the list this year are "out of the hat" so to speak. It's a new round of 13 for next year. One of my employees had a great idea for another Monster series stick in honor of Lon Cheney. A lonsdale called the Lon.

I've said it before, but I don't really like that Pete Johnson is copying the Fuente business model of rare, hard to find smokes. There is a reason why I stopped trying to buy those.

They should spread the love instead of having 3 retailers in CA. Guess they love those taxes!

That would have been nice, but Pete said that 12 would be drawn at random from the top 100 retailers and he stuck to his word. The 13th was Gloucester Street Cigars in Beantown and they were guaranteed to be on the list because the Monster series was their idea in the first place.

montecristo#2 · 10-25-2008, 12:14 PM

In this case, I just emailed a couple of retailers on the list (a couple of who I have bought from before) and ask if they were taking pre-orders. A few emailed me back and said yes. I was just hoping to get a box and got lucky. Or at least I hope I got lucky.

Yeah I kind of wish he wouldn't sell to that store... they are so picky about who can smoke there... to be in the nice area you have to be a member the regular area is pretty small and no where near as nice...

In contrast you go to a store just south of there and the nice area is free to all and the owner is cool as hell. So where do I go to support? The cool owner... I haven't ever bought a stick from that guy in Longmont due to his attitude toward outsiders (if you can call any cigar smoker an outsider since I thought we were all brothers).

i guess the CA vendors got theirs first. gotta wait for the east coast ones to get them before mine ship. they both told me the 28th.

groogs · 10-26-2008, 05:18 PM

I live in CA and I ordered mine from another vender to save on taxes. I called a few of the retailers on Friday, 2 days ago, and I didn't have any trouble getting a box.

10-27-2008, 02:40 PM

I got my box 2 days ago. I'm gonna let them sit a week or so before trying one. They do look good though.

Don Fernando · 10-27-2008, 02:55 PM

I so hope the groupbuy works out, I want to try those smokes.
