It appears the insanity is carrying over for the mini monsters just like it was with the regular line. Pete is a marketing genius. I for one have fallen for it.

I guess I was lucky I got in on the first shipment they got.....sucks that the shipment is all staggered for everyone not on the east coast...or anyone who ordered too late to get in on the first shipment

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

Mac, I think it is time to let Pete Johnson know about 3C. You might want to e-mail him. They should never be allowed to sell his stuff again.

Agreed!!! But I don't want to come off as sounding like the "whiny ass" that wasn't able to get a box. I am sure Pete gets enough of those emails.

You could include the link to this thread in the e-mail and he can see that you are not the only one. I know Pete has an account on here, but he just doesn't check in here unless someone directs him to.

Sent him a tweet (my first ever at that) with a link to the thread...we'll see.

Not to thread jack, but Tobacco world in Marietta has 5-6 boxes. Here is their website for contact info.The Cigar Super Store

I'm not affiliated with them in any manner, I was just there today and saw that they had some.

Mine from The Party Source should be here today. I could have picked them up as I live only 15 minutes away, but shipping is cheaper than gas and tax :tu

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

See I liked the Frank Jr ROTT. That twang which I never got in the original was a nice bonus.

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

I had a full size Drac the other day and I don't think they'll get any better.. past they're prime I believe... though it's more tolerable...

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.

I finally received an email from 3Js this morning..."should be in Friday, will receive an email from USPS when it ships...some mumbo jumbo about a free LE tshirt...blah blah blah".

I ordered a box from The Party Source at 1153 this morning...they shipped it at 1222. :tu :tu :tu

kelmac07 06-27-2012 03:28 PM

Re: Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!
 
I signed up on Tweeter just to tweet Pete...and his immediate response was that retailers were told not to pre-sell until they had the product, and that he was sorry that I had to go through what I did. While the interaction was very cool, and the response was lightning fast. I truly understand why retailers pre-sell...just not why they charge your CC before they have the product to send to you.

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.
