I am not a big fan of both either but if I had to choose, I would say the second one is far better. The first one is far too tribal and I think that style comes across as "fake" and trying too hard to be edgy, however I still do like his smokes for the most part though. :2

I think he does a lot of the design himself, at least from what I had read he designed the logos for the Drac and Frank boxes which in the article it said he spent a good bit of time perfecting them which if you look at the type/logo portion of the boxes, they are very simple. I dunno, maybe he takes a lot of pride in his design skills but I think he should stick to blending cigars and leave the graphic design to a designer. :2 Hell, I'll do his creative for free smokes on the good ol fashioned barter system.:D

Don't get me wrong, I think he blends some tasty smokes, but visually the "tramp stamp" thing rings true for me. Both of them look "Glyph-ish" ala Prince, like someone said.
I am probably not his "envisioned target demographic," nor do I need to be. A logo for a company can be a powerful thing, and if that is what he wants to do? Who the hell am I? Just a dude that smokes cigars I can afford. I know nothing.

Contrary to popular belief though, a little bit of banter in the remote dusty corner of the internet called CA is hardly "any pub is good pub" George. Especially when about half is derision.

01-06-2010, 08:22 PM
Here's my opinion, all (except the Drac, Boris, Frank, Werewolf blah blah blah) of his cigar boxes are plain and basic at best, all of his bands look like crap and yet his cigars sell for alot of money. Proof that with enough hype you can sell a decent cigar with a brown paper bag ring in a $1 box from Hobby Lobby for $10 plus a stick all day long. If it floats your boat cool, but it's not for me.

I guess I would not consider Rocky Patel a "rockstar" kind of person. He just seems like the ultimate salesman.

I want to thank everyone for all the feedback. Just an FYI, the above posts are not from me nor anyone from my company.

Yes the logo, I actually paid a veteran designer for Disney to do the logo. The logo is not for Tatuaje. Tatuaje already has two logos. The classic Tatuaje logo with the tobacco leaf/fleur design found on the cabinet boxes and the Tatuaje with the sideways fleurs on each side. Those are the logos and they will alway be. The logo you are seeing is just a company umbrella logo. All the brands will fall under this logo. You will see it somewhere on the packaging for all the brands to let people know we make that product.

I had always just used the Fleur as a company symbol but it's not like that fleur was anything unique. Every company uses a fleur and the one I used was simple enough to where everyone got used to it and associated my brands with it but a fleur is not unique.

Again this is just a company umbrella logo that will tie all the brands together. I am always willing to look at submissions but I am not looking to a logo for Tatuaje. It already has two.

Also, I am far from being any type of rockstar. I'm just happy to be doing something I love.

Thanks again for the honest feedback, I do give a damn what you guys think and hope to hear more from you. Hopefully better next time.

Regards,
Pete

I thought Pete was offering to meet you in-person when he was in Columbus.

Just me, but I know I would prefer to talk with him face-to-face if the opportunity presented itself.

Sorry if you got the impression that I was "butting" into your business, that was not my intent Bobby.

As would I.

I would take either opportunity whether face-to-face or by letter. I am not afraid to confront people and/or have tough conversations. The most successful people I know chose to get there by choosing to be improved by criticism rather than ruined by praise.


I sent Pete a PM indicating that my letter would not fit in a PM and that I am available to communicate in whatever matter is most conducive to him. Regardless, I think it would be fair to him that he has a copy in advance so that he can be prepared to answer/comment.

I will be knocking on Dan's door the day Pete comes to NHC. I haven't had the best of luck there either, but I don't wanna steal s15's thunder.

Just hanging with Dan or is there an event of some kind? I'd love to travel up with the Cincy crew and smoke a few.

I am doing an event with Dan at the end of the month but I think we are only doing a hang out session for a few hours mid day....We will be online all day....

BTW, I will be in Nicaragua all this week. If someone asks a question or wants an answer, I probably won't be able to reply right away.....

Thanks for the update Pete, see you at the end of the month.

I like the sound of "We will be online all day"...

Man, I want to bite into this like an 18 ounce New York Strip steak.

I will digress and keep my aggression to a minimum.

The "what I would say to Pete Johnson and the owner of New Havana Cigars (local to me)" if I ever had their attention ....after the drac incident.

You want honest feedback?

I'll give it to you if you really want it. Man to Man. Not in public.

Seriously? Wow man, you talk as if the man killed your grandma or something. :rolleyes:

Internet talk is way different then face to face. :rolleyes: You get to talk trash and put a person down personally on the internet.

I'm glad that the rest of the comments made by Bobby were deleted or edited in this thread, talking all kind of trash.

Good to see some real class where the owner of a company wants to meet in person to take care of the issues.

I believe that PM is most suitable. Warning, its very lengthy, very.


EDIT - Maximum PM is 5000 characters... my letter is 6323 characters. What is the best way to communicate?

What'd you do, send him a bunch of pictures?

Again this is what I love about the Cigar community. What started out as a little rant about new logos ended up with Pete himself coming here and addressing issues personally.

There is a fine line that people like Pete and Dan at NHC have to walk. We all want them to stay small enough to be able to get involved with even the smallest complaint or suggestion, but we demand they act like multi-national conglomerates when it comes to production and distribution.

There has to be a happy medium somewhere, and here's to hoping they can address that one later this month.

I just hope its on a Monday or Thursday, those are the days I am in Columbus!

I enjoy his cigars, and I don't smoke the bands, so who cares what the band looks like.

:tpd: the band is a form of identification. I rarely look at the bands once the cigar is lit and frequently remove them before cutting as long as doing so doesn't cause any damage.

Perhaps there lies the problem.
Perhaps we should SMOKE the bands and then it will be more important as to what they look like.:r

You OWE me a laptop!!!

Fuggin' coffee is all over the place!!!!!

....this coming from the cigar smoker known as Two-Face. :r

I don't get it :confused: Guess it's an inside joke?

I suppose because I refuse to submit to ridiculous pricing by the B&M you constantly shill for? There are more B&M's in town, with better pricing.

Again, doesn't matter much to me. They can all run their businesses however they wish. I don't have to spend any money with any of them.

I care... And I do suspect that everyone does to some degree... Does anyone think for a minute that people "who don't care" would smoke a cigar that had two men kissing on the band regardless of how good it was???

I am sorry but people do judge a book by the cover... I have seen such goofy bands that I have passed... Siglo NC for example...

well said!


Anyone who stops smoking Tatuaje cigars due to the band change should probably take a long hard look at why they smoke cigars in the first place.

It's just a cigar! If you don't like them, smoke something else.
