Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!

[maninblack]

Corona cigars has them on their website and Emerson's has them but you must call to get on the list. Just pre-ordered from Corona. Thought I'd give you Tat whores a heads up. They are supposed to ship this month.

Your a few days late.:r J/K. I pre-ordered three boxes last week, only two will be mine. Yep, I'm weak!:D

[EricF]

I got 3 on pre-order also!!!! :noon

[x man]

10,000 boxes, was 5,000 but he bumped it to 10.

[emopunker2004]

Only three? You're letting me down bro.

That's pretty typical for me John!

[czerbe]

:(:(I would love to get my hands on one of these... damn!!! Cash isn't flowing like it used to

[ucubed]

Just to let you all know Corona is also getting the Lil' Boris which is a 10ct box of lil boris. No one else will have them except us so pre-order those as well. Also not to get off topic, just saying, I smoked the limited robusto yesterday and then proceeded to purchase a bundle and a half =D. Those bundles are a mexican wrapper that is limited to Florida and only 300 bundles were made (supposedly)

[maninblack]

Sweet!!

400 bundles supposedly shipped and they have hit NC too so the rumor of being limited to FL seems to be rumor. I'm really trying to be good with this one but know I will be pissed once they are all gone that I didn't do it. Trying to be good and I know in the next week or two I will have Mini Monsters showing up.

[Taki]

I cant complete the action (purchase step) here at work!!!! :sad
I hope I can get home in time to reserve a box!!

Mickey, do a search for Tatuaje Mini Monsters and you will see them.

Yea I was talking to a friend and he mentioned that he just ordered them for his shop. It's so strange because everywhere I have been reading and from what I have been told it was suppose to be only 300 bundles made for the Mexican Experiment which is the San Andres wrapper

[ucubed]

Still just remember the Lil Boris is a totally separate little monster series box that Corona will carry. You'll have to phone in and ask to be added to the pre-order list

[Islayphile]

Waiting for NHC to start pre-orders

:tu

[neoflex]

If anyone is interested in splitting a bundle of the Mexican Experiment let me know. Looking to keep the cigar purchases to a minimum on the credit card so I don't have to explain all the hits on it this month from cigar vendors especially since I recently gave my wife hell on her frivolous spending.:r I will gladly send a money order for my end. I swear when it rains it pours. There's either nothing I want or just an absolute avalanche.

[EricF]

I am trying to get a bundle. I will let you know if one comes available.

I second that emotion John! So many goodies coming out. I wanna try those Mexican ones also. I love a San Andreas wrapper.

[big pete]

Got my pre-order in on Saturday

[icehog3]

I'd like one lil Boris, 2 lil Franks and half a wolfie, please.

[maninblack]

How about 1 Frank, 1 face, and a gurkha thrown in for good measure?

Looks like I'm going to have to place an order once I get home.

[688sonarmen]

NHC out of stock

:r ;s so typical!

[WittyUserName]

Pre-ordered 2 today. 3j has them

[neoflex]

Smoke Inn sold out with the quickness too.

[danreeve]

first shipment sold out everywhere it seems. There will be more in a week or two.

Dan

[WittyUserName]

I picked one up from corona cigar co and 3j. Try those out.

[akumushi]

Countdown until somebody gets butt-hurt by the mini monsters begins...

[ucubed]

Corona is sold out few stores have gotten them already... We got them because it came straight from customs...Pre-orders for the second shipment have been rolled over and started and the best way is to pre-order them online so that your payment is listed and if you are lucky enough you'll get one...I've smoked the Lil Drac and Wolfie already =D.. The next shipment should hit retailers in 2 weeks...Lil' Boris should be in a little later

[Louistogies]

Keep me updated!

[thecatch83]

Countdown until somebody gets butt-hurt by the mini monsters begins...

Agreed...I'm passing

[kelmac07]

Just pre-ordered from 3Js. :bh :bh

[688sonarmen]

Emersons will be getting these as well ;)

[BlkDrew]

just got my email that mine shipped from Corona

[neoflex]

I pre-ordered from another vendor but have not heard anything from them yet. Not too worried as there should be plenty of these to go around. They were originally slated to be a 5,000 box release and than I heard rumor that Pete doubled that but either way that's a chit load of sticks to go around and there should be more than enough for everyone. I don't need to be the first to get mine as I will probably sit on them a few weeks before smoking anyway.

I too read online from various sources that it was double to 10,000 boxes. However, what I heard at the store that it was actually reduced. I'm not sure who to believe at this moment, all I know is that they're pretty tasty

[maninblack]

I just ordered a second box from 3J's.

[ironchefscott]

Ordered a box from 3j's a week ago....hoping to get them soon!

[maninblack]

Corona shipped my box today!!

[AUguy]

Got mine ordered. Glad there is finally a limited release I can actually afford!

[neoflex]

Got a tracking number today. ;)

[maninblack]

Great news John! Mine will be here tomorrow!

[kickerb]

yeah i should get mine on Monday. slow UPS free shipping! argh

[cigarmonkel]

i always come back only to find something awesome like this has happened. if anyone has any extra's of anything they are looking to sell shoot me a pm!

[ucubed]

Lil Drac (great after the half), Wolfie (overall great), Babyface (one flavor/one dimensional, but good), Frank Jr (great start and finishes soft), and Mini Mum (too good). Just my 2 cents. While there are still rumors that Pete upped it to 10k boxes, I was still told as of today it was actually cut in half in the amount of boxes. Worth the buy for sure if people are still considering it limited or not

[cigarmonkel]

are they still out there!?!?!?

[ucubed]

are they still out there!?!?!?

Until Pete comes out and say, "Hey, just kidding, there are a crap ton of boxes still" then they're going to be hard to come by. Corona has started a second pre-order list in case we get more, so you'll have to order it online and that's not guaranteed still. I'd say call around shops and see for certain

[DaBear]

are they still out there!?!?!?

we have them at work still, see my above post for more info. We're expecting two more shipments of them even when we run out of this shipment.

[cigarmonkel]

thanks bear! I'm talking with a local shop right now first to see whats going on (i work with a girl who does the order for them) but if nothing happens with that then I will shoot you guys a call!

[smitty81]

How much does one of these box's sell for?

[cigarmonkel]

no idea :( i'm hoping to find out today

[Chainsaw13]

How much does one of these box's sell for?

$75

[smitty81]

$75

heck, thats cheap enough considering they will sell for $150-$200 for the box and all someday.

[cigarmonkel]

heck, thats cheap enough considering they will sell for $150-$200 for the box and all someday.

i don't see them going for that much in the future. the only tats that are truely worth double their original value are the tat black cg's from the jar, frank and boris or cojonu 03 OR. if all 4 little monsters were amazing like those cigars were then i could see it double the price in a few years but from what i've heard they aren't super great sticks that can compete with the frank/boris/black cg ect ect (not to say they are bad by any means though).

another point though is the black cg's from the jar or not, are starting to not smoke as well as they were.. thats only from what i've heard though from other people.

just my :2. I'd still take as many boxes as i can get though but for bombing/my own pleasure purposes i could careless about selling them for profit.

Just as a collectors item alone though, people would pay a mint a few years down the road.

I've seen lots of members on here looking for the older monster series and the box's alone.

Soooo tempting :dr

Yea, just knowing that alone, I am tempted to buy a box and stash it away for a few years.

Corona's website says orders may be limited to 1 box per costumer. Has that been the case so far?

[neoflex]

Corona's website says orders may be limited to 1 box per costumer. Has that been the case so far?

Most sites were that way on the preorders. The vendor I used encouraged me to buy three by throwing in free shipping if I bumped it up. The third box was claimed by a buddy of mine. Would have loved to kept all three but storage space is super tight.

[Chainsaw13]

Mine was. One should be showing up today or tomorrow. The other when they get more in.

[maninblack]

I can't wait! Seeing these boxes is getting me very anxious.

[Louistogies]

Dose anyone have idea on how are left?

[DaBear]

Dose anyone have idea on how are left?

I'm going to assume you're asking if any are left, in which case, yes. There's still more shipments to go out(we're expecting two more shipments at work) and some places may still have some left(I know we do).

[Minuterice]

My first post on this forum, but the mail man dropped off two boxes this afternoon, and I figured I should throw up some picture's.

[ucubed]

ughh anyone that has multiple boxes want to trade for a mini mum card??? And yes Mike, many retailers are limited to 1 per customer because of the limited-ness of the boxes... The only complicated thing is whether or not Pete indeed increased the box count to 10k or reduced to 2k... Assuming Pete's trend, I would assume the latter, however I would not be surprised for the former

[688sonarmen]

Is there any proof of how many boxes are being released? I think that this is being blown out of proportion here, not intentionally but if the factory is/is not releasing #'s why add to the hype? Also what are the chances of these tasting like the originals? It's been years since some have come out and they are different vitolas.

Yes I am curious on this as well......also I am curious why they are releasing them in batches to some retailers. I did not get in line quick enough on the pre-orders to be in the first shipment from my retailer.

[lilcgrsmkr]

I really like tats, but are these little monsters good?

[DaBear]

I really like tats, but are these little monsters good?

From my limited comparisons(aka only the Face and Wolfman), they're as good, if not better(in the case of the Wolfie). I've heard my thoughts echoed from many customers and friends who have tried them.

[ironchefscott]

I ended up going with 3jcigar. But I think they might have filled up their first shipment....I would check out...and make a phonecall to see if they will ship right away or if they are waiting for their second shipment to a few places.....corona, high quality cigars are a few...and federal cigars...might be good...just don't want to be put on the wait list for the second shipment if possible..that is my input...anyone else have any wisdom?

[DaBear]

We're expecting 50 more boxes with this next shipment at work. I plan to grab one from each of our shipments(we'll be getting one more after this next round)

[TJtorpedo]

I was under the impression that the Mini-Monsters would be readily available at 5K or 10K boxes worth. Reading here that some brothers are having a hard time getting them and/or places are selling out, is it that Pete is just shipping them out in waves?

Yep, only a small amount has been released. I believe the next wave should be arriving to most vendors the end of this week or early next week. There should be plenty to go around.

[688sonarmen]

:gary Pulled the trigger. Also pre ordered a box of the little boris from corona cigar. I really hope I do not regret this like the Barclay Rex, that was the last LE I chased and was extremely let down by it. (And yes I traded them long ago)

[ironchefscott]

Might just be the first person to complain about the barclay rex

Lil Boris still available!

[Neens]

They still have about 10 boxes in at the place near me if anyone wants and is having problems getting some. I don't think they ship but if you want I can pick them up. I think its $80 a box but not 100%.

The Lil Boris are a Corona exclusive. Since they're not a part of the Monster Series they are not included in the Little Monsters. The Little Monsters include Frank Jr, Lil' Drac, Baby Face, Wolfie, Mini Mum(the new blend to be released this fall).

[ZachF88]

The Boris was a part of Pete's "actor" series, which includes just the Boris....

I was under the impression that the Mini-Monsters would be readily available at 5K or 10K boxes worth. Reading here that some brothers are having a hard time getting them and/or places are selling out, is it that Pete is just shipping them out in waves?

I have spent hours searching and calling and have gotten almost nothing, so usual Pete Bull. Which sucks because I love most of what he makes and want them.

[WittyUserName]

3Js charged me...but can't seem to let me know if I made the first shipment or second shipment. :td :td

3js shipped my order today Mac. Just an FYI

[big pete]

Holts had some earlier today. I placed an order for a box this morning and they shipped it out today.

[maninblack]

3js shipped my order today Mac. Just an FYI

Not happy they charged my CC and my order hasn't even shipped yet. I called them and they assured me that if my CC was charged, I'm getting a box. I was like, No sh!t, I better be. Will not order from them again.

[Dunkel]

I know how y'all feel. I ordered a bundle of Mexican Experiments from 3J's on the 11th. They were listed as in stock. I never got an e mail letting me know they were waiting for the last 100 bundles available to arrive. Had to call twice and both times was assured that they would ship them as soon as they got in. I doubt I'll ever buy anything from them again.

[maninblack]

I've never had a business charge me until the item shipped. Poor business practice if you ask me.

[lilcgrsmkr]

The Lil Boris are a Corona exclusive. Since they're not a part of the Monster Series they are not included in the Little Monsters. The Little Monsters include Frank Jr, Lil' Drac, Baby Face, Wolfie, Mini Mum(the new blend to be released this fall).

oh i see..thanks for the info:)
:D

I've never had a business charge me until the item shipped. Poor business practice if you ask me.

It's called a no interest loan. Our power company does it all the time. I get a bill twice as high
as it should be, then the next month I get a $15 dollar bill. It's a scam.

Plus they can charge you a higher rate for all of the "extra" electricity you use. Sometimes they even give you the "little" bill first. I've been watching them lately and called a couple times and they've stopped doing that - at least for now.

West Coast companies still haven't received their MM's yet, so there should be plenty around within a week or two.

[ZachF88]

I was charged for my 3JC's order, so I asked them via email if my order had shipped. I received an incomprehensible email and it pretty much said check my spam folder for USPS email if it had shipped. I ordered a box of lil' monsters and 5er of mexican experiments.... Not sure if I'll get any of them.

[maninblack]

Wow, that's total BS. If mine don't ship Monday I'm going to cancel my order and demand a refund.

[longknocker]

Got On The List At Smoke Inn. No Guarantees, But They're Out Of Them, Now.

[AUguy]

So my brother and I pre ordered a box a couple weeks ago. He was going to order them and I was just going to give him cash for my half when I get back home in July. I asked him today if he had heard about when they might ship. When he got online to check the order status it turns out that he never even ordered them! All he did was put them in the shopping cart and he got distracted and forgot lol.

So now we are on a waiting list. :gary

[Ender]

Well I just placed an order of the minis at Holts. It was too late to call and ask/order with a person so I just did it online. It showed that they were still in stock so I pulled the trigger. Crossing my fingers.

I noticed today that my card was charged as well.

I told them that if the order doesn't ship tomorrow that they are to cancel it and refund my card.

I'll never order from them again either way

[themoneycollector]

Why does that shop charge your CC up front if they don't have the boxes in front of them to sell in the first place?

That's not a good practice in general. Not just for cigars, but for any purchase. I'm ok for leaving my cc info and they can charge me once they arrive and ship out, but no way would I be ok with them charging me up front.

[oldforge]

Ender--I have done business with Holts for almost ten years and never had an issue with delivery or their "in stock" inventory status. They still show them as in-stock and first on the samplers list.

3J's is one of the shadiest companies. Back when they had the Drac dress boxes I called and they said "Yeah, we have them, but you have to buy a box of regular Tats as well to get one." So, I bought a regular brown box of Tats and then they decided that they were out of stock of the ones that I bought so it took them an extra week to ship out the box once they got it in stock. I don't know why they didn't just tell me they were out.

Yeah, I meant the Face, not the Drac. Yeah, I bought the Noellas because I got caught up in the hype. I still enjoy the Noellas, but I just hate paying full price for Tats when I can get them cheaper.

[kelmac07]

Just received a call from Holts...they are out and placing back orders. They said it could be a month...I cancelled my order.

[jledou]

Holt's was not so in stock ... back ordered for now ....

[ktblunden]

I think 3J's was the store requiring people to purchase the ridiculously overpriced Wolfman lighter in order to buy a dress box. It's just really shady tactics and I'm amazed they're charging people's cards when they don't even have the product they're claiming to be selling.

[longknocker]

Just Called Holt's. They're Back-Ordered. CC Not Charged, Though, & Holt's Assures Me I Will Get Them.

I ordered off of Holts last night and I have yet to receive a back order call.

I'm sure I'm going to miss out like the rest of you guys

Corona had been doing the same thing. Glad empire was able to hook me up. I dont know why but I have always seemed to have issues with corona. Not that the service is bad but the website is always the root of the problem.

To update, I got my Mex. Experiments from 3J's no invoice in the box but they did throw in a Tat hat.

I thought the Frank was. It had a twang to it that I haven't found in the regular Franks. I attribute that to it's freshness. Besides that, it reminded me of the original.

I tried the Mini-Mum since it's the new kid on the block. It was a good smoke. I remember getting lots of white pepper flavor from it.

The Lil Drac to me didn't really remind me of the original. I actually like the original Drac, the way it tastes different right off the bat, no pun intended! I just didn't get it from the Lil Drac I smoked. Maybe it was a dud and the other one will be closer in flavor. We'll see.

I didn't try the Wolfie or Face yet. I'm going to let those sit. I didn't like the original Face until a year after it came out. Now they're smoking great. I'm hoping the same holds true for the Wolfman. The one I had of those was horrible.

My pleasure. It would be cool to see full boxes of each one. I'd buy the Frank Jr's for sure.

[elderboy02]

I had the mini Frank and I was underwhelmed. I pitched a quarter of it. I loved the original Franks. Maybe I just got a dud.

[WittyUserName]

So I was mistaken, I make two orders from 3j. The first was the Little Monsters, which have not shipped. The second was a 5er of Viaje MOAB. The MOABs got here today, I just emailed 3j and asked them for a status update.

[tsolomon]

Got an email from Tobacco Grove at 3:50 today and checked their site at 4:15 and they were sold out.

[Islayphile]

3Js still hasn't emailed, no communication...but they damn sure charged my CC. I went and ordered a box from Holts. :bh :bh

It's their policy to charge a CC on pre-orders in order to reserve a spot, they don't have any in stock and I should be patient.

After I started laughing to myself like a looney up in Togus, I told them to cancel the order.

I just didn't appreciate the fact that they ducked my emails and charged me before they shipped. And when I talked to them on the phone, they acted like I was a bother and they had more important things to do.

I called and left a message at 3JC's... never heard back. I emailed them and they responded quickly and said I was getting the shirt and blah blah blah. So I emailed them last Friday and asked them for any info, since they were suppose to ship that day. I received a horribly written email that made no sense. I responded back and never heard back. Will be filing a dispute with my credit card. They are the WORST company to deal with. "Jeremy" is all nice and everything when you are ordering, but he doesn't stand behind his word and doesn't keep his customers, who have been charged, updated.

I also ordered a 5er of Tat mexico experiments with my lil monsters and they have been sold out for over a week now. I asked if I was still getting them, but never received an answer.

I've smoked through all of them a couple times...Wolfie, Mini Mum, Lil Drac, Baby Face, Frank Jr. in the order in which I liked. Frank Jr. is the only one I think that could use some age on it and will get better.

Sadly more than a few months. The flavors weren't right at all. The Lil Draco might need a couple to get really really good. Pete really messed up if this what the Draco was suppose to taste like

From everyone I know who's smoked the Drac, the Drac was hands down the worst of the Monster Series, and the Lil Drac was infinite times better. I enjoyed the Lil Drac, but agree it would really shine with a couple months of down time

[maninblack]

I finally got my refund from 3J's. Waiting on my box from Neens to show up.

Personally, I enjoyed them fresh. They could use a little time, but why not smoke em if you've got em? A little one dimensional, but a good earthy smoke, gets a tiny kick of spice toward the end.

Exactly, it's not an issue about pre-orders or lists. It's about charging someone's CC without having a product to show for it and bad communication on top of that.
