Just curious about what you meant as I find Tatuaje much less annoying than many other marketing strategies in the industry.

I don't really want to go deep into it, but for example to show you where my opinion is coming from, in this very same interview that MJ posted, Pete talks about how he calls people out on BS marketing in the cigar industry. He claims there is such BS involved and some cigar makers lie to the consumer. That's all fine and dandy. But he then proceeds to make a comment about how his new cigars coming out will be packaged in "book" style boxes... Pete and George have a good laugh about it and even joke about "where that idea came from". I guess I'm in the minority here, but it just rubs me the wrong way. And this is just one example. People shouldn't try to mimic havanas in DR or Nic or Hond., whether it's blends or packaging. Again, this is just my little old opinion and I have nothing agaisnt Pete. I think it would be cool to hang out with him and smoke a cigar or two.
