Tatuaje -The Face - Page 14

MiamiE · 10-21-2010, 06:59 AM

They had a dress box the night of the event. I showed up ONLY for this purpose, to buy the dress box since I was sure Pete would have brought them. Turns out the sealed box was not for sale and they had one Face in a few retarded sampler packs they were trying to sell for $125. That was the only way to get it. No 10 ct boxes were available till this week when everyone else got them.

and hence Pete would not be there to see the ridiculous pricing. I hate B&Ms that take advantage.

Paid 13.25 a stick for mine

10-21-2010, 12:36 PM

I've seen a range of prices. I picked up a box locally to share and the single price was $15.99 per stick + tax.

mastershogun · 10-21-2010, 12:51 PM

I've seen a range of prices as well. Passed up a box... just too much for my blood. But I did do well to get boxes from several other b&ms

cigardan · 10-21-2010, 01:13 PM

Please note that taxes vary WIDELY from state to state. Here in NY they just upped the tobacco tax to 75% of the wholesale price, which would add $4.88 to a stick that retails at $13, bringing it to $17.88. That's what I paid, plus 8.6% sales tax. Gotta love the government.

I hear ya man.. I'm in NY as well, the Government is making it really difficult for the b&m's to stay in business...

For those of you who are still looking to get a box of the Face the Big Easy Cigar Shop still has boxes available. Here's the number 818-762-3279.

Good Luck,

Chris.....

I am still trying to get my hands on a box. I'm hoping my luck will turn around soon.

The one B&M I was counting on decided that they were going to break up the boxes and sell the Face in a sampler with a few other cigars I already have and/or have no interest in buying.

Must be a Florida thing. That's what another shop down here did.

ade06 · 10-21-2010, 01:35 PM

Mine were $14 apiece including tax in Philadelphia.

MiamiE · 10-21-2010, 01:41 PM

Both my boxes were $130 for 10. I ordered online though.

neoflex · 10-21-2010, 01:45 PM

Sorry, when I stated those prices I should have said most states. Now states like NY and CA, we all know you need to lube up most times before going to your local due to taxes.

One of the things I really really don't miss about living in NY.

Ya NY sucks but there are places like others mentioned selling them for $20 a stick and this is a place that gets Pete in to help promote their shop, stores like that should be ashamed of themselves.

Brutus2600 · 10-21-2010, 01:43 PM

Yeah, got my box for $130 too, but then I paid $15 for 2 day shipping. Brought it up to $14.50 a stick.

I appreciated finding these at MSRP. NHC are good people.

Bill86 · 10-21-2010, 02:49 PM

Glad to hear it touched down today as expected. Enjoy them Ryan!

smokinpeace · 10-21-2010, 03:49 PM

It's interesting that more people are talking about finding them and not about how they are smoking. Reviews I have seen seem positive but not blown away. I did grab a couple boxes, so I hope they live up to the price. There a lot of great $13-15 sticks out there.

You know, now that you say that I realize I'm a lot more inclined to spend around $15 on a Tatuaje limited release cigar than I am to spend $15 on an Opus X. Not sure how I justify the Tats for that price easier than I do the Opus X
