If you don't think you should have to pay over MSRP for a cigar just because it is limited, don't. I agree that people buying boxes and trying to flip them for twice what they payed is messed up, so I don't buy from them. I know I haven't paid any extra much extra for any of the LE cigars I have bought.

Its not like the type of advertising a certain brand uses affects you in the least and its not like you will die if you don't get to taste any particular cigar.

You are free to express your opinions, but realize that the opinions you choose to express affect people's perception of the community. There seem to be cigar communities that love Tatuaje, some that hate it and some that treat it like any other brand. I'd rather be a part of the latter.

Word.
I think there is a serious need for butt cream on this issue, with the amount of people that are butt-sore over Tatuaje. While we respect varying opinions on this forum and coming out in a review that a cigar doesn't do it for you is a worthwhile contribution to the forum assuming you've tried it, it seems like the opinions expressed on the issue are bordering on needless flaming. Almost every new thread on Tatuaje lately gets thread-jacked by people with an agenda against Pete Johnson. I don't think they realize that when it's consistent enough, and when the same people are saying the same thing on thread after thread, it creates a hostile, divisive envrionment when you can't discuss a new release or review a stick without the thread turning into an "I hate Pete Johnson" fest. That's what people are saying might turn new members away from the forum. I would hate to lose membership just because a few people can't stop themselves from sh*tting on every thread that mentions Tatuaje. Especially when it's respectable, long time BOTLs that should be the bedrock of our community.

I would argue that REs and ELs are just hype, too.

I like Pete Johnson's cigars as long as I get the ones I want.

This is an entertaining thread. I thought most peeps here loved Tats. I've never had one or care to pay alot for them, but thats just me. I got plenty other smokes that make me happy. Like the rev says, like what you smoke, smoke what you like. Words to live by.

back to the original topic of tatuaje anarchy....

From another board:

"It's a limited run cigar for a retailer's anniversary. The retailer needs to remain a secret."

That'd be my first guess as well.

Pete keep on keeping on with your Holiday line, it’s a great product and IMO & fun to try to track down a box or two.

I look forward to meeting you during your upcoming visit to Outlaw Cigars in Kansas City next month!

Then for whom?

I have yet to smoke a Tat I would pay for. Not bad but not that good either. I have smoked some Gurkha dog rockets but G3s are one of my favorite smokes. Maybe Tat has something I would add to my list but I haven't smoked it yet. I am not going out of my way for the new release but might try it if I get the chance. I would rather find a reliable regular production cigar I like.

Despite all the trash talking here, there are MANY great tat regular production cigars, not everything they make is limited run.

"Great" is subjective enough. I have only tried four different Tats and I will try others but "great" hasn't happened to me yet.
I am not trashing PJ or his cigars. I find the ones I like from many companies, even Gurkha or Altadis or some of the others that people like to trash. These new "Face" cigars look interesting but as they are not something you will be able to get anytime you want I will let them pass.
Smoke what you like...

I've tried a heck of a lot more than four Tat products and haven't found one fit to smoke, as of yet. I have a few cigars and you won't find a Tat anywhere (I don't think.)
I just don't like them. It's that black peppery pine tree flavor in the back of my mouth. It just puts me off, bad. I can't stand it.
That said, I keep trying them. Unless it's a Noella Especial or El Triunfador. I've never even experienced a Gurkha that was remotely as vile. How anyone can smoke either and not chunk is a mystery to me.
That's where subjective comes in. I don't think there's anything great about Tats. Not even remotely. But, I have to take into mind that tons of people love them. And from my experience, their construction is beyond reproach.
I've seen lots of his interviews and read a lot of stuff Pete has written. I'm glad Pete does what he does. He enjoys it, and he makes lots of people very happy.There can't be anything bad about that.
Except maybe his cigars.

From a business stand point Pete has great marketing appeal... Those that want to chase them down will, I agree retailers should have no part in his contests... Did any one win the Ducati ? I like most of his products... In fact I just got my hands on a 5er of Dracs thanks to one of our very own her... I won't participate in his antics.... My local B&M got a Golden ticket....Haven't been there since.... I am still looking out for a Boris or 5er, some day I will get the pleasure to enjoy one just not meant to be yet...

That link didn't work, Tom. It gets automatically shortened.
Use the little "insert link" trick. Highlight the text, click the little earth/chain icon, and drop the url in there.
Don't know why links get chopped by the software here, but it happens.
I wanna see those smokes.

There ya go, Scott. Doesn't look like an SW to me, as they're 6 3/4 x 42, same size as cazadores iirc.

By now all should know I do the Halloween cigar every year. I do this to have fun with the brand and at the same time create buzz. This is something I will continue to do. Last year many things caused problems this is why I am changing to something simple. For all the collectors, I am still making the funky gimmicky box and releasing it first. Then I am also releasing the same cigar two weeks later in plain boxes for people that only care about the smokes. Just under 22,000 cigars which happens to be a lot for a company my size and should be enough to make it easy to find. No spooky ticket and no giveaway. Just cigars for the holiday.

The Tatuaje Anarchy thing, I can't take credit for. I do know it will be easy to find. That's all I can say as I've been asked to keep quiet.

The NHC cigar will be easy to find as it's made for NHC only. They come in boxes of 40 but I am sure that Dan will be making samplers in different formats and the price is right.

I respect the opinions but the name calling is stupid. Don't like the product don't buy it. Don't like my marketing (which by the way , I don't know marketing) Don't buy the product. I make tons of regular production product that people can buy at a good price point that has no gimmicks tied to it.
