The troops holiday fundraiser raffle with a total of 7 prizes will soon hit the site. Stay tuned...

Bump...

Those look like the old Triumfador Lanceros to me. they are 1 1/2" shorter though. Strange. Wouldn't it be cool if the box had the letters "MY" on the lid to succeed the rest of the letters?

Troop raffle! WOOT!

Blended by Pete for the shop.

Hrmm, interesting. Where are these being sold at? I'm a huge fan of the Triunfador Lancero for true...these look just as good!

Bill86 · 11-06-2010, 11:57 PM

Even more limited tatuaje?!?!?!?!

I so give up bothering to buy anymore tatuaje limiteds. They produce a new cigar every week.

Face, new pork tenderloins....now these...all if what 4 weeks?

Hey I feel your pain.....and I know/knew many people might share your feelings but for me since day one that I was let in on this my brain said I have to grab this and turn this into something to benefit our troops program.

Had the opportunity to meet Pete at a lunch gig a number of months ago in Seattle when this cigar was being hatched out. Pete's a hell of a guy but also sharp when it comes to business. I really enjoyed the cigar I smoked this afternoon.

Hey papajohn... I was just at the shop tonight buying my own boxes and John told me about your purchase!?!

These are great cigars so good luck with the raffle! The current crop of broadleaf wrapper that Pete is using makes these cigars very tasty... you guys will not be disappointed with these cigars...

Lucky guy as these cigars are going to be gone fast. I was down there until around 4 this afternoon. John's a great BOTL both as a B&M shop owner and a friend. We have smoked a bunch of great cigars together. Had a Davidoff night last Wens. after having a great dinner up in North Seattle. Enjoy the cigars!!

Bill86 · 11-07-2010, 12:26 AM

Oh yeah he's a businessman no arguing that. Although it really doesn't take much from where he is at. He's just gotta kick out 10-12 limited lines a year and rake in the cash.

For me, I'm no longer annoyed I just quit with Tatuaje. I won't bother dealing with the "catch the limiteds madness" and their regular line has been disappointing with me lately. There's only one cigar I'll buy from them.

But I definitely approve of what you're doing to support the troops! At least some good came out of yet ANOTHER limited tatuaje.

jaycarla · 11-07-2010, 12:37 AM

Pete can fire out a limited release every month and I would be just fine with that. Great addition to the raffle!

11-07-2010, 12:42 AM

Can this not be another "hate on PJ" thread please? Nice idea on the raffle John and good of you to do. I still think it would be cool if the "SODO" was followed by "MY" on the lid though. If it was a full length lancero all of the letters could be right on the side!

Again, good job John!

smelvis · 11-07-2010, 12:56 AM

Man that's the area the Mariner and Sea hawks stadiums are in, I would love to get a box but realize it's unlikely. Were at a grand opening Pete was at I wonder if that is how and when this came together.

CasaDooley · 11-07-2010, 01:07 AM

Bravo Zulu John!

Yeah the shop is called J&J Cigars and is on 1st Ave S past the stadiums. John is the proprietor and is a great BOTL. I know he's pumped to have his own Tat release!

Yes, that's when it was finalized... I showed up later than expected and missed you there

Chingas · 11-07-2010, 01:07 AM

Thanks John for seeking this out and brining it to our attention. And of course, the raffle to come for the troops!

maninblack · 11-07-2010, 02:47 AM

Great job brothers!

papajohn67 · 11-07-2010, 03:05 AM

David's doing the heavy lifting on this as usual....plan on this time frame wise being a short raffle, something like 10 day's. Want to get this up and running quick so we can get some $$"s headed in Richard & Hugh's direction to cover the cost of non cigar Xmas stuff + help with the mailing costs to the troops.

I'm guessing David will have this up and running sometime tomorrow.
