Default Re: Tatuaje Saints & Sinners club

On ym drive to work today, I was thinking this:

for those of you who did not 'invest' in the club, how did it affect your tat buying?

I'll preface this with saying I am an occasional cigar smoker. Maybe 4-5 a month. I am a total tat whore, with probably 85% of what I smoke being tat. However, since I can't justify a membership to the club, i now feel slighted, even though I am a regular customer. As such, I'd have to say that I have been buying more Fuentes lately, swinging the tat percentage to more like 15%. Any others notice the same thing?

A good question! I wonder if the 80/20 rule still applies, or if the club has changed that.

The rule of thumb being (quote from wikipedia):
"80% of your sales come from 20% of your clients"

There are only 200 (ish) members. I doubt that is 20% of the buyers.

Thoughts?

I'll buy the original Brown label line all day long. I did the special release thing with Tats in the beginning. Then I smoked them and realized I liked the Brown's much better than anything else produced, especially the limited release stuff. Plus, since they are made in the ERdLH factory, the quality is unlikely to change.

Yeah, the existence of the club doesn't change my enjoyment of the J21 brown label, or the black tubos. I'm not going to say I don't buy Tat anymore, but I kinda feel, I don't know how to explain it, unimportant?
