The Wolfman

[maninblack]

Anyone know when these are arriving in B & M's? Maybe some Saints and Sinners members have some news. Just wondering since Halloween is coming up.

[elderboy02]

Yeah, Pete announced the 13 retailers to us S&S members on Friday. Pretty much every place is sold out and doing backup lists.

[lbowles2]

Wow... so unless you were willing to pay the premium for S&S you don't even get a change at em. Not sure I think that is too cool... although the brothers that bought into S&S probably love it what with not having to do battle with as many potential buyers. Guess I've smoked my last Tat :sh

Well, that is not quite true...only 403 dress boxes are being sent to the 13 retailers, the rest of the boxes are being sent to various retailers with Tat accounts (most likely 1-2 boxes per store)...

Also remember that there will be PLENTY of non dress boxes (10 count) to go around...1300 boxes of 10 = 13,000 in non dress boxes alone...

[Dunkel]

Yawn here we go again. LOL

[quantim0]

I'll fine as long as I get another 10 ct box.

I wasn't going to hunt a dress box anyway, I'm just in it for the cigars.

[Lonely Raven]

Where does one usually look for the Tatuaje online? (sorry, I'm new here and still figuring out the good shops to hit)

[Dukeuni]

This is why I read the forum first before posting- I was going to ask when the unlucky 13 were going to be released.

As for the S&S aspect, I guess we all saw that coming when the S&S started. It should not be too hard to find these sticks on the forums.

[maninblack]

Damn I was hoping to get a dress box for my collection. Guess I'm up sh!t creek without a paddle. Maybe I'll get lucky.

[WittyUserName]

I think I would just like a 10ct as well. Just have to find out where and when they go on sale.

$150 isn't as much as I was expecting, but still too rich for me.

[irratebass]

Me too.

[kelmac07]

Rest easy fellas...if these are anything like last years "Face"...there will be plenty to go around. Just be patient.

[T.G]

$150 isn't as much as I was expecting, but still too rich for me.


Just FYI - you get about $150 worth of cigars and swag when you sign up. IIRC it's 5 core line cigars (ie: Tat red, La Requeza etc...), 5 high end cigars (special releases, browns, blacks...) and 5 prototype / unreleased cigars that might or might not ever come out. I'm not a member so I can't give exact specifics, but there are some threads on it where you can see what gets sent out.

I didn't mind paying $150 for 15 cigars and tons of swag. I also like the privilege of getting info before it is released to the general public. To each his own :tu

I just signed up and introduced myself on the boards, same user name. Once I get my swag I will create a thread here and post some pictures.

[Lonely Raven]

I didn't realize it came with cigars, I thought it was just the swag!

[ktblunden]

Each of the "unlucky 13" retailers are allotted 31 dress boxes and 13 regular boxes. That's 403 out of 666 dress boxes and 169 out of 1300 regular boxes. They will get their shipments around Oct. 13th. The remaining 263 dress boxes and 1131 regular boxes will go out to the top 130 Tat retailers the last week of Oct. Also, I know that some of the 13 retailers elected not to take preorders and are instead doing a lottery or local first come, first serve. There are going to be plenty of these on the market. If you have a local Tat retailer I'd suggest heading in and asking the owner if he thinks they're getting it and asking to be on his list.

[DPD6030]

I haven't like a monster release yet...of course I've only had the Drac and the Frank but who knows.

[maninblack]

I loved the Boris, Frank and the Face. But I'm a Tat Ho.

So you got two sleeves? :r

[kickerb]

can someone from S&S please post the list?

[WittyUserName]

can someone from S&S please post the list?

From What I have read it comes with;

15 sticks (5 regular, 5 premium, 5 unreleased/special blends)
1 challenge coin
1 t-shirt
1 deck of cards
1 hat
1 smoking kit (this might be the cigars)
1 lighter
1 shot glass
1 membership card

Access to exclusive deals and a heads up on new tat release info.

When my box comes in I will be sure to create a thread and post and inventory and pictures of everything I get.

Thank you.

But I meant the list of retailers getting the Wolfman, didn't someone say they announced that to the S&S members?

Or am I crazy?

[WittyUserName]

Oh I have no clue, I just joined today. I will look around the forum tonight and see what I can find.

[Lonely Raven]

Living vicariously through you, Adam.

[kickerb]

i mean, being its been out since Friday, I see no sense in keeping the list exclusive, all the S&S members have already put there names on the `lists`.

[neoflex]

I'm surprised the list has not surfaced yet. That kind of blows that once it does get released to the general public that chances of securing a dress box will be a tough feat since us non S&S members will be behind but I guess dems the perks of joining the club. To be honest I will be fine with a non dress box even though the dress would be nice. Hopefully I get lucky like last year and get both:r but at the end of the day it's about the cigars even if the box will look cool on the office wall. I'm anxious for this one since I love Sumatra so I am looking forward to see what Pete did with it.

[AlohaStyle]

A quarter of the 13 retailers have already put out the word themselves (that I know of, probably more) be it Twitter, Facebook, email lists etc.

[elderboy02]

Thank you.

One of the SnS members posted the list on BOTL and his post was deleted and he made some fellow SnS folks angry. I know I won't be posting the list...

Holy Sh*t Balls. The list just hit Facebook and one of my locals who I asked to be on a list for whatever they got over 3 months ago is one of the 13 retailers!!!!!!!!! I just called and they said I am in fact numero Uno on the list! Woot! That sh*t hardly ever happens. I was hoping for them to be a backup for a non dress box! Pretty psyched right now!

Hmmm :D May have to see if I can snag a couple of these.

[lyle23]

Hmmmm road trip to hackensack! Not bad 40 mins away.

[neoflex]

Call ahead. I am sure they are being inundated with phone calls. When I called the shop that's local to me he said they had a pretty long list going already. To think this is the shop that I was able to snag boxes the last two years no problem and the boxes they put on the shelf sat for at least a month but now that they were one of the 13 it seems they were getting a lot of calls. Just glad I put myself on the list months ago hoping to get a non dress box.

[Lonely Raven]

My Google Foo turned up these:

These look much better than the Face. Boring boxes though, Face boxes looked cool.

I can't find them now, but some photos I saw of the Wolfman, the foot looks very...hairy (pun intended).

[maninblack]

That's why Pete made them with shaggy feet.

[688sonarmen]

:r That just sounds funny

[chippewastud79]

I can't believe it took until about noon on Friday for the list to be posted all over the internet. I have a feeling most shops that got them had their waiting list before the 'Exclusive' even knew they were the unlucky 13. :rolleyes:

[ZachF88]

If anyone wants to sell me a 5er, let me know! Times are tough and I can't afford a box now (also had to sell my other empty dress boxes on failbay).

[icehog3]

These look much better than the Face. .

Can't taste any worse. ;)

[Bill86]

Can't taste any worse. ;)

:D I refused to smoke one 56 x 6 3/8. I had 1-2 or them and I kept looking at that 56 RG......No thanks I sent them off to MAW's for others who can tolerate that RG.

This time it's a 52 x 7.5, they look good...but I'd rather have a PSP2 any day :tu

Well, I smoked two of The Face for us, Bill. They sucked big time.

never had a interest in these Halloween cigars sure seams like a lot of hype maybe I am missing out :confused:

[Bill86]

Hit or miss. IMHO more miss than hit.

There's 4 of them now (with this years)

Face - Tom says it's crap, I didn't smoke one
Drac - Chucked it half way, not much going on
Frank - Very good.
Wolfman - ????

[deadrise]

yea that's about what I have been hearing frank was not bad If I happen to see a wolfman when at Emerson Monday I might try it but I have my doubts it will be there

Wrong Bill! You forgot the Boris!!!

[AlohaStyle]

I have a feeling most shops that got them had their waiting list before the 'Exclusive' even knew they were the unlucky 13. :rolleyes:

Nope, there were a handful of stories of BOTLs calling a shop right after the list was posted on Friday and that is when the B&M actually found out. I bought mine from Good Karma and the owner just got back into town on Monday and he said he had no clue they were one of the chosen retailers until he got back. He jokingly complained about not getting a warning.

The Chicago shop was told by a BOTL when he called in (as it was his local shop), and the owner was so excited and asked the BOTL to get the info out on another forum right away.

I would guess the only shop that might have had a heads up was Gloucester in Boston as Pete's good friends with him.

[Trent0341]

Wrong Bill! You forgot the Boris!!!

Actually the Boris is/was part of the Actor series. Boris refers to Boris Karloff (the stage name for William Henry Pratt) who played Frankenstein.

Interestingly he also starred in the Mummy which is supposed to be next years release.

[emopunker2004]

Drat!

[Trent0341]

Drat!

lol :r

[MiamiE]

Face and Drac were not very good. The Frank was great. Boris was not a Monster series cigar. Let's hope the Wolfman is better.

[emopunker2004]

lol :r

:sl:D

[Lonely Raven]

If anyone wants to sell me a 5er, let me know! Times are tough and I can't afford a box now (also had to sell my other empty dress boxes on failbay).

I have my name on a dress box, and if there is a regular available at the release party I'll pick one up to trade/share with friends here.

Well, I smoked two of The Face for us, Bill. They sucked big time.

Ugh, not a good sign, however...

Hit or miss. IMHO more miss than hit.

Wolfman - ????


From the few reviews I read, the Wolfman is closer to the Frank, so I have some hopes.

Worst case, if I don't like them (hell, I still don't know what I like and almost gave up cigars the other night thanks to a bad stick), I'll move them on here or elsewhere.

[maninblack]

I actually liked The Face. Guess it goes to show how our palates are different. In all actuality I've liked every monster release.

[neoflex]

I actually liked The Face. Guess it goes to show how our palates are different. In all actuality I've liked every monster release.

:tpd: I also liked the Face.(proof that if we all liked the same smokes there would be very few options when you visit your local B&M) I loved the Frank and in my opinion has been the best so far and thought the Boris was the second best of the releases. Yes, the Boris was not technically a Monster but they were released the same time as the Drac and distributed in the same fashion. The Drac was not spectacular but I honestly think it was rushed and still very green when it hit the shops. I got rid of most of the Dracs I had but did hold on to a few to see if they improved with age. The Drac was a bit of a fiasco year anyway with the box issues and the contest going to hell due to legal issues. The nice thing about the Monster series is even if you get a box and decide you don't like them it's not like you are going to be stuck with them. You can always turn around and sell them and I can almost guarantee there will be a line of guys gunning for them. So yes it sucks that you have to buy blindly but the market for these is so that you'll never be stuck with a box of smokes that you don't enjoy.
I am anxious to try the Wolfman as I am a big Sumatra guy so I can't wait to see how this blend smokes.

[DaBear]

I actually liked The Face. Guess it goes to show how our palates are different..

I'm with Kevin, I enjoyed the Face a lot. Got lots of good caramely sweetness. That said, the RG was quite large and it burned the slowest I've ever had one of comprable size burn. It got a little old toward the end

[ZachF88]

I'm with Kevin, I enjoyed the Face a lot. Got lots of good caramely sweetness. That said, the RG was quite large and it burned the slowest I've ever had one of comprable size burn. It got a little old toward the end

One of my favorite tats for this reason. Still doesn't beat black jar though....

[ktblunden]

I also really enjoyed the Face. I will say that I didn't even try one until a couple months ago, so I never had it when it was fresh. That could make a difference. I had my first Drac this past weekend and it was nothing spectacular. Unfortunately I was never able to get my hands on a Frank or Boris, so I don't have any experience with those. I have high hopes for this release, I plan on letting them sit for a good long rest before trying one though.

[E.J.]

FWIW, count me in the "I like the Face" camp as well.....

[gator_79]

I know I'm in the minority here but I just don't care for Tat's. I've smoked a few regular release cigars and did not like them at all. I also had a Tat Cojono 2003 and 2009 and didn't care for those either. For the price there are many stick that I'd rather spend my money on.

Smoke what you like and like what you smoke. There are a few lines that are widely regarded by other people that I just don't like at all. The beauty of cigars is no one's tastes are the same.

I was in your position about 7-8 months ago. Couldn't figure out why you guys enjoyed em so much. Eventually my palate changed, and now I'm a full fledged Tat ho.

Moral of the story: Smoke what you like, like what you smoke, but don't write things off for eternity, you may find yourself enjoying them down the road.

[maninblack]

Well it sounds like everywhere I've called is sold out. Looks like I'll have to wait to look in the WTS/WTT forums. Dammit.

[neoflex]

It's crazy out there for the dress boxes. My buddy called the one shop that was chosen that is local and they told him he was number 104. So it looks like unless a lot of people back out he is S O L. If you have a local shop that is a Tat dealer I would check them out as the regular dealers I think get a couple dress boxes and a bunch of non dress. I was able to score dress boxes on the Drac and Boris locally from a shop that wasn't chosen pretty late in the game too and I could gotten a dress box of the Face from the same shop too but I had already gotten a dress box from another vendor so I just took a non dress box from my local guy so somebody else would have a chance at getting a dress box since I already had one. Also keep in mind the only reason why I got so lucky on the local shop being they were one of the 13 chosen this year is because I put my name on a reserve list 3 months ago before anyone even knew they would be chosen. I was just hoping to maybe snag one of the few dress boxes they got or worse case scenario a non dress box. Low an behold they came up on the list this year.

[maninblack]

It pays to be lucky sometimes John! Congrats and glad you could snag a box.

[Beagleone]

I got a dress box with my name on it already, but I am up in the air about this one. I liked the Face, not so much the Drac, but I really liked his TAA exclusives lately. I may get it and split the rest off for sale. I'll let you know after they arrive.

[shilala]

I figure I can tie up about 7 dress boxes so far. When they arrive, I plan to weave them into a skirt and gird my loins with them, all the while singing the Pete Johnson hymn I wrote. It's got a nice Island Jazz sound to it.
Thank Pete Johnson for the Saints and Sinners Club. He completes me.

I think I laughed so hard, I peed myself a little.

[ktblunden]

Yeah, just because you didn't get in on a list with the 13 doesn't mean you're out of the game. The top 130 Tat retailers (chances are pretty good if you have a local with a Tat contract, they're on this list) will each be getting 2 dress boxes and some amount of plain boxes. Call up your local and ask if they got the Face last year, if they did chances are they'll get the Wolfman, so ask to be on the list.

So What shops in So. Cal. will carry these jems??? -(P

If I searched your map coordinates correctly and you are in Santa Ana, you probably want to check with Embassy Cigars in Anaheim Hills and Siglo Cigar Lounge in Newport Beach and find out if they'll be getting them. Those are the two closest Tatuaje retailers to you. Failing that, you'll probably have to try in the L.A. area.

[RCS44]

I hopefully can get me a box of these.

[Apoco]

Pete posted on FB how he felt the monster series had gotten out of hand and wasn't fun to do anymore. Maybe this is it, but I doubt it. Too much money to be had.

It probably isn't fun until he gets the check to cash. Then it will feel fun :)

I agree, though. He's making plenty of green off of this deal - no way he'll stop.

Wow... so unless you were willing to pay the premium for S&S you don't even get a change at em. Not sure I think that is too cool... although the brothers that bought into S&S probably love it what with not having to do battle with as many potential buyers. Guess I've smoked my last Tat :sh

Not really.. They were posted on a Friday and by Friday night someone had posted the full list to BOTL.. by Sunday I never stood a chance.. they were gone.

When the list was posted on FB on Monday, I call a shop 20 mins after the list was posted and was put on the list at #16. So with a little bit of work, there was a chance to be had.....

[neoflex]

I'm wondering if the Monster will even happen next year now. I got to speak to Pete for a bit at a recent event and he admitted the Monster has become a "Monster." If you follow him on Facebook you will see it obviously has become a nightmare for him already again this year(this is going back to Wednesday, two days after releasing the list to the general public) but when speaking to him he said if this year turns out to be a fiasco like years prior he may ditch the project completely as it has done more harm than good for him. Can't blame the guy as he did try and do it as something fun but it has ironically become a Monster to deal with as no one seems to be happy with what they get both vendors and loyal customers.

[thechrisdotcom]

Shop local to me is one of the lucky dogs to be getting some of the Wolfmans. I gotta put my name in a lottery to hopefully get a box.

Never had anything from the Monster series, so I will give it a shot.

I wish he would, the cigars are not worth it. After chasing a box down last year waiting the required few weeks because "the wrappers were fragile" and sparking one up looking forward seriously forward to the cigar- it burst on me. I have smoked a few more and they are not great cigars. Actually no cigar is going to live up to the hype of this S. I think the monster series has cheapened the traditions of the cigar world and made men who were once only closet teenagers and children to come out of the closet. Tatuaje tries to be so different but in the end is manufacturing the same hype and B.S (last year the same story was told, "not doing monster next year") as the other company's they bash. Just my :2 and if I hurt anyones religious views to their higher power I'm sorry;)

That is unfortunate.... I have never quite understood the sour grapes attitude of those that cannot get a box of cigars.... In the end, it is rolled up tobacco leafs, buy something else, something that you know you enjoy and will most likely be far less expensive and go on with life. Nobody kicked your dog, spoke poorly about your mother or slept with your girlfriend/wife/boyfriend/husband. You were not able to purchase a limited edition cigar.... Odd concept, limited edition, high demand, some people don't get.....:sh

Fact is, at a later date, boxes always come up for sale on here at/around MSRP.

Not to mention the cutting off your nose to spite your face comments like, I'll never buy a tat again after not being able to buy a box of XXXX? If you like them, smoke them. This wasn't a plot against you or anyone who couldn't get a box.... Some loved and loyal consumers won't get boxes....that is life, it doesn't mean they are not appreciated. But if you want to stop smoking cigars that you enjoy, because you somehow feel like you were personally disrespected by being unable to get a box of limited edition cigars...okay, there are a lot of other great cigars out there....go enjoy them. I don't quite understand it, but everyone has choices in life.

I have been able to secure a box and been unable to, been on both sides of this through the years. On this years release, I didn't even try.... It was not because I don't like the concept or didn't want a box, it was just not something I wanted to put energy in. Plus, I have spent a little money on cigars this month....:r

I hope Pete continues to put out the series, I think it is fun.... It is unfortunate that too many people take this release FAR TOO SERIOUS.

/end rant

[lyle23]

Well said EJ! You have some great points. I do like the concept behind the monster series, it does suck that not everyone can get their hands on a box, or in some cases even a stick. But like You said, limited edition is limited edition. It sux that I can't get my hands on most viajes that I want to try, but oh well. They are LIMITED in numbers and it's just something I have to accept. And I have accepted it. Maybe I am more understanding than others? :2

[MiamiE]

I don't understand what's the big deal either. Those who REALLY want to chase and secure a box will go through the hassle to get one. If you didn't get one you didn't work hard enough for it. Just my opinion.

[Bill86]

The face boxes last year weren't much of a hassle at all to get......

I just called Uptowns and got put on a list. I didn't even attend the event.

:2

[Matt-N-Ga]

I'm not normally one to chime in on these type of things, but I will agree with EJ. While personally a fan of Tatuaje cigars, I'm also a fan of inventive business practices. Take for example the recent release of some very limited beers. Same problem. Too many people want them, not enough production. Isn't that exactly the type of demand that a company wants ? I won't be searching out for the series this year, mostly cause I have other priorities and my taste have changed (love the "Twang") in the past 2 years, but I'm jealous of Pete, his ability to maintain a constant fervor, a longing, a desire to have his product has launched a "Monster" (pun intended) of a business. I can only hope that when it comes time to open my business venture, I can create as much passion (love or hate) as Pete has.

[neoflex]

Well put EJ and that seems to be the issue here. Too many people, retailers included seem to take it personal if they don't get any or more than their original allotment. A lot of guys have said they didn't like any of the Monsters but I would be curious to see the results if they were given the stick unbanded with no info as the hype may have had them expecting too much from it:2.

Look for those the last week of the month when the bulk of Tatuaje retailers get their shipments. New Havana will probably have them and sell out in 5 minutes. I had good luck with Atlantic last year with the Face.

That's what they said. It's a release party with sales on all Tat (except Wolfman) and even a limited edition Dupont lighter (too rich for my blood).

But when you get your box signed you must ask him if he really is Pete Johnson. There is an impostor out there who swears he's really Pete. He showed me his tattoos and everything. A darned good copy, but still a copy.

Hopefully I can find a 10 ct box around online. No shops around here carry tats so I am out of luck locally.

[Lonely Raven]

Bummer!

The shop just called and said they didn't get enough dress boxes to cover my order. So I'm only getting one regular box.

Maybe something will change when I get there, but at least I'll have some Wolfman to try out and trade.

Was it the guy below that we saw in Nicaragua? Was funny as hell as the first picture is of Pete, then later that night we saw the guy below after the club in Esteli... we had to do a total double take as he looked just like Pete, minus the tats though! LOL

Even though they said they wouldn't sell individual sticks, they had three boxes open just for singles. I'm kicking myself for not picking up a couple singles. After I grabbed some food and chatted with Pete, I turned around and all the singles (And their empty boxes) were long gone.

Once I figure out which box I'm keeping for myself, the other will be available. I don't yet have access to b/s/t, and I'm only doing my first newb trade this week. So it will be a little bit yet. I'm sure someone will post some Wolfman for sale/trade soon either way.

[neoflex]

Nice haul Eric. Trying to find 1-2 sticks and you snagged two boxes. :bh :bh

Keep in mind that the regular shipments of non dress boxes have yet to hit the regular dealers shops. Once that happens you should have no problems scoring some. If you have a local Tat dealer call them up and see if you can score a non dress box before they arrive. I tried to gab a couple singles at my local but every box was accounted for so they didn't even have one to put out on the shelves. Not to sound greedy but I am trying to score a non dress box when that happens so I can smoke out of that first.

[Starz26]

Ugh, frustrating. I am in Chicago and I called at 3:30pm to see if they had any dress boxes left for the event before I spent 80.00 on cab fare.

I was told they were all sold out and had no dress or 10ct boxes for the event. Now I see that they did have boxes.

Why can't shops just be straight......I have been to this shop several time before to so.....

Oh well, thems the breaks

No crap... what a way to sell $300+ lighters!?! I thought it was bad a couple years ago when a certain B&M made me buy another Tat box to get a Monster box. At least I had no problems smoking the cigars... but to have to buy a DuPont??? :td

btw, good luck on selling the lighter brother... I've had buyers remorse after events and it's no fun! Not saying you do, but just hoping someone will want that lighter.

[LostAbbott]

Making you buy a lighter is not cool at all, I consider that bad business practices and would never visit such a store that had that kind of requirement. The Seattle store has a lottery for dress boxes and is only allowing people to buy two sticks from the regular boxes. I can see how that might anger some but I think it is a good way to allow all of thee customers to get a taste...

I'm with Mychal, Ryan and the Admiral. $300 for a $125 lighter with "Tatuaje" on it. Way to go Pete :td :td

[Remo]

In case anyone is interested the Wolfman goes on sale at NHC today at 1:00 PM EST and then again on Saturday at 8:00 AM EST.

[ktblunden]

The requirement to buy the lighter in order to get a dress box is crap, IMO. I think the pricing on those in the first place is beyond ridiculous. I ended up winning the Face set at an event earlier this year and while the lighter is the best torch I've ever used, it's certainly not worth the price they're charging for them. In fact, I would have a hard time paying the $125 the regular Maxijet goes for when it isn't branded.

And yeah, I wouldn't count on being able to recoup that cost on ebay. Maybe in 6 months or so if these are no longer available you might be able to get a decent amount for one, but I wouldn't count on these things selling out. There are still Face sets available.

[Dunkel]

Every year P.T. finds a new way to prison poke people if they want to get ahold of his Halloween release. Every year people line up to be prison poked. I guess they enjoy it. "Squeal! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

I couldn't bring myself to ask. I still don't understand why you guys think there is a fake running around. And besides, the dude is BIG! He was 6'1" and broad shouldered and big armed. OH! I think I realized who he reminds me of!

My feelings exactly. But the odd thing, it seemed like he had nothing to do with the cigars...there were these really pushy used car salesmen types there pushing boxes of tat into peoples arms. I was going to walk away till I saw two of the 4 boxes of Tats get up and sell as I was debating the purchase.

At events Pete generally has nothing at all to do with sales. He has already sold his product to the store and it's their business what they do with it from that point. It's disappointing that he didn't have any objections to the requirements to get a dress box, but then again, he's also pushing the ridiculously overpriced lighters as his product. I really wish he would end his relationship with ST Dupont and do away with the dress boxes entirely and just let the release be about the cigars.

IMO, the wolfman lighter is fugly (that's just my opinion though) and so was the face lighter set from last year. At least last year's set you got a lighter AND a cutter. This year's looks like some tribal mess and has nothing to do with wolfman.

Forcing you to buy a $350 lighter to buy a box was robbery and people will remember these things when shopping around in the future. Used car salesmen tactics would easily make me walk out the door. Next thing you know they'll be selling you extended warranties and satisfaction guarantees on any unsmoked, unopened product (LOL).

Sidenote, why did this year's release get called Wolfman instead of just 'Wolf' like all the other abbreviated names from previous years?

[neoflex]

To be honest I think in another week or two guys will have no problems tracking these down once the non-dress boxes land at all the other retailers. Keep in mind it's just the mostly just unlucky 13 who have received their allotments so far. My local only got theirs on Tuesday. I think NHC may have just gotten theirs early my guess is due to the volume he does for Pete. Just a guess on the last part. I think with a little patience they will start to surface a little more often and easier to grasp.

I have the Face set and the cutter is useless to the point where it lives in the box they came in. Dupont makes really nice lighters, but they can't make a cutter to save their lives.

[Lonely Raven]

The Wolfman set comes with an embossed leather lighter case in place of the cutter.

I prefer punches myself. I'm looking for a nice one right now in fact.

A money back guarantee, sign me up! My budget would get cut in half.:r
They probably didn't abbreviate because when guys say wolf I know myself and others would probably think of things like this epic t-shirt.

Yep, the vast majority of the plain boxes will hit stores the last week of the month. NHC is a special case and it's never good to rely on them for getting an LE. They're usually the only ones selling them online and everyone knows this. Any Tat or Viaje LE that hits NHC will be sold out in less than an hour (often less than 5 minutes).

Your best bet is still to call your closest Tat retailer and ask if they'll save one for you.

Yeah, the Face set had a leather sleeve as well, it was under the tray in the box. Honestly, I like the look of the Wolfman lighter, but not at retail price.

Same here.... If I can get a moderate deal on one and I have the money I think i might pick one up.

There isn't enough room in my skull for how hard I want to roll my eyes at that. Wow. For that much it needs to serve as my primary mode of transportation as well.

I was just thinking about how I paid $2100 for my motorcycle.

Going down from there.

OK, enough derailing this thread.

So has anyone smoked their Wolfman yet??

[ktblunden]

My dress box is working its way across the country by stage coach apparently and should be here by next Tuesday. I snagged two singles from NHC today and I expect those might make it by Saturday. If so, I may just burn one this weekend.

[guado]

Just got box 92 yesterday.

[TNT009]

Third box on way, im buying a real lottery ticket today!

[E.J.]

On this years release, I didn't even try.... It was not because I don't like the concept or didn't want a box, it was just not something I wanted to put energy in.

Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in. Bought a 5er today...:r

[RightAJ]

Box 127 made her way to my house yesterday... love the coffin this year, the scratch marks on the front are subtle but very cool looking!

[EricF]

Anyone want to sell a dressbox??

Maybe...................

I think with that effect they were trying to burr the wood to make of look hairy.

By the way that should be "it" not "of" Damn posting from a mobile device...

Got my plain box from NHC, they even included a pack of red rope candy since its Halloween and all.

These things are enormous, so clear out a few hours to work on one.

[Brutus2600]

Got my box in Saturday and smoked one Sunday. Reviewed it so I'm going to try to get that up here soon.

Let's just say...it wasn't what I expected from a Monster smoke! And that's not a bad thing...:tu

Just picked up a 10ct box.... UGH....I'm freaking sick....:r

So much for me making the decision that I wasn't going to chase them this year. Granted, the 15 have fallen into my lap, didn't even look for um....

[maninblack]

Got ten coming from themoneycollector. Can't wait to light one up!

Any online stores currently have them in stock?

I should really start doing that. Thanks for the reminder!

[E.J.]

Not that I am aware of, Eric....but they will. The box I purchased today was an online shop that sent notice they had a few boxes and to call.

If you want a 10 count before Halloween, bet it would take a quick search for phone numbers and a few minutes of calls.

I have no inside knowledge, but assume there are PLENTY of 10ct boxes out there, sitting on shelves, just waiting to be purchased and shipped....

[N2 GOLD]

Anyone have a few for sale??? I just need 1 or 2... -(P

[Brutus2600]

Glad you got some of these :tu

[Partially Deaf]

Man, I wish I had been paying more attention earlier. This is something I would definitely be up for trying.

I need to go bug the guys at my B&M to see if they know where I can snag one.
