Tatuaje -The Face
 

Per Pete's tradition, the retailers have been announced for this year's edition of the Monster series, The Face. For those that are Tat whores (like myself) start making your calls.

WOO HOO one of the 13 in Nashville, TN ! I'm all over it.

Called and I'm on the list.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

Mark at Tower (NorCal Mark) is on the list. Schweet!

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

Holy crap Centro over in Lawrence is on the list?

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

Does anyone know if any of these retailers would be willing to sell a box?

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

This. Means I might actually get my hands on some this time

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

afeeding frensy

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

Thoughts on the new site? I like it. I've been feeling deprived not having a Tatuaje site up and running.

Interested to see when the Saints and Sinners stuff gets launched too.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I bet his inbox is full before the day is over :D

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I'm not making any calls. If I happen to find some, I'll get some.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I'm awaiting to hear that. I'm put down for 2 boxes we'll see if they'll hold them.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

Of course they will be selling boxes... how they will do that is up to them.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I hear ya Elderboy, I put in one text msg and that is it. If I get a box great, otherwise I'm just looking forward to some of the cigars on Halloween.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I can't believe CI is on the list

:D

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

The main reason is that lists don't mean $hit. Last year I was on Outlaw Cigars list and they never called me back. I was also on some other shops lists and never got a call from anyone

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

You mean there are people who didn't get on the list 4 months ago? :rolleyes:

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I had two places by me last year that changed the way they were going to sell them a couple of times. I would like to pickup 2-3 sticks for myself, but I'm not willing to go through what I did last year trying to get some Dracs. :confused:

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

Exactly.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

As soon as they open them to "inspect them" and remove the ticket, if it is there. ;)
:r

(assuming of course they do some giveaway again)


Pardon me, I need more coffee and pepto, lol.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

My local BM, Centro, is getting them. I dont care about the LE box, I just want a few singles.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

This year it will be a bit different...only 13 boxes at $666 per stick! Good Luck! :r:r:noon:noon:noon

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

Yes, because not everybody knew about that list.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I don't hate the player, just the game :D


I was just surprised to see such a large retailer

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

oooohhhh I'm in!

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I swore that it was either CI or Famous that had the Frank in their catalog when it first came out....

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

Sucky thing is despite it being such a large retailer they will probably only sell to walk ins in the main super store. :td

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I admit it, I always fall for this act. I have purchased boxes of The Frank and The Drac, and I am on three different lists for The Face. I also admit that I really am a fan of the boxes, and I REALLY want one of the 666 dress boxes. Yes yes, it is sad, but I just love the Monster series for some reason.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

6 3/8" and 56 rg.......damn that is a big cigar. I'm with Dan on this one....I'm going to sit on the sidelines and wait to hear the stories about trying to acquire these. I admit....the boxes look sick and PJ is a marketing genius....kudos to him!

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I may have been the first person to actually start it... :r

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

Damn there is a lot of excitement for this gar today. To bad they are not coming any where near the NW.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

So I just found out today that I have to go underway as early as next week for two weeks to support a submarine that needs help. I was expecting to be here since Im on shore duty and not sea duty anymore. I am asking if someone could take an order for me. I know its a long shot and all but worth a try.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I am NOT in this year. GL to all of you who are!!

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I found a box of Drac and Boris last year by accident three weeks after the release. I grabbed the box of Boris' but passed on the Drac as initial reviews were far from stellar. Still kicking myself for that one. If nothing else the box would have looked sweet on the garage wall. We'll see how it goes this year.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

As much as I want a box, it sounds like a pain in the bum for cigars that I'll probably have 1 of and store the rest since I'll never find another box

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I have no interest in this release whatsoever. Now if it was a re-release of the Pork Tenderloin, I'd be all over it!

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

If I run across them I'll buy, I won't wait in line or beg.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I will let everyone else play the game this year. For those that get an extra box, I have a box of Boris or Dracs to trade.:D

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I have to say that I am really surprised to only see 39 posts in this thread so far. I remember last year's ongoing thread, with people discussing getting on lists, not getting through phones, etc. It seems REALLY quite so far for this release. Wonder if the marketing and craze for these cigars has just finally gotten old to a lot of people.

Even in this threat there are a lot of people who say they will not jump on the band wagon this year.

Oh well, maybe it means I will have a easier time getting my boxes ;-)

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

People don't have money either. It is real tough to get people to open up their wallets now days. I know I have cut back drastically.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I'm pissed I forgot about this today, I was really excited to nab some of these... No point getting on the lists now :(

Maybe something will pop up though, never know

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

Let's hope they don't taste like paint this year...

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I honestly can say none of the Monster Series have floored me...not even close so I'll be skipping these for sure and sticking to the Brown Labels that never seem disappoint me:2

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

The retailer I use has a list of some 40 names already. For a while there, the phone lines were jammed. I am sure the number will be greater by Monday.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

Might have to trade a frank coffin for an empty box of these.

I will wait until the 1300 boxes come out and some small shop will be happy to get rid of them.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

X2

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I had REALLY hoped to nab a collector's box of these (even if it was just for a split) as I have the previous boxes, but I really don't expect to be able to ... none of the "Unlucky 13" retailers are exactly near my base in Japan, lol, and most (just like last year) won't be taking many orders over the phone.

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

I'd rather spend less headache getting some cigars I know I like (probably cheaper too).

I will admit though, Pete and I "had it out" mano-a-mano at a local B&M last year and the "limited release" topic was discussed in depth on my list of "things I'd say to Pete J." and his reasoning was acceptable in my opinions (for that topic).

Re: Tatuaje -The Face
 

Was at my local b&m yesterday having a few smokes listening to the word on the street about these. They are getting 41 of the 666 boxes to be released and they are not taking pre-orders. One of the employees was taking a count on how many phone calls he received for people who wanted to be on a waiting list. The count was up to 48 calls when I left yesterday.

At $18-$20 a stick.... I think I will buy some sig VI's instead. :2
