Tat's New Monster Series

maninblack · 08-15-2010, 09:16 AM

Saw a picture on Facebook someone took at IPCPR of Pete's new series. The pic I saw had a box and a cigar, and it was called "The Face". This has me really excited since I've missed out on the past series. Anyone else have any info? Looks like a big cigar from the pic.

It's a 6 3/8 by 56rg. Supposed to mirror the original Leatherface.
Here is an interview with Pete talking about all of his new stuff, including The Face at IPCPR

I've yet to lay hands on any of the Monster series. No Tat distributors out here. How do they compare to say the Tat Black flavor profile?

How boring! My call was it was going to be called "The Mummy" and wrapped in tissue paper. I guess he didnt want to pay for the rights to the name.

Bob it's based on "Leatherface" from the Texas Chain Saw Massacre series! *lol*

You're not missing anything. The brown labels blow them out of the water. I love Tatuaje but I do not even attempt to get the special releases. They are simply not as good as the regular line. I've had a handful of each Monster Series and they all left me with a big......meh.

blah, blah, blah... I'm so over all the hype...I'd rather have a kick ass cigar with no band that comes in a bundle. Probably not going to happen though, because everyone seems to want pretty packaging. The last time I tried to smoke the box, it burned my lungs....so now I only smoke the cigars themselves.

That was obvious. But apparently PTJ did not want to pay royalties so he didnt use the actual name just butchered it for his own hype, just as he has done with the rest of the series. Stealing half a name is cheaper than using the real name.

One things for sure...no matter what he calls them, what they look like, what they taste like, or how he promotes them....They will be sold out.

Well you're in luck then because Pete's making 666 boxes for people that want to collect the boxes, but he's also releasing more bundles a couple weeks later for the people that could care less about trying to get their hands on a collectible box. A total of 22,000 cigars I believe.

Yawn Hooray more Tatuaje hype.

Sums up my feelings. I'm going to make a prediction though. This thread will fill up with hate talk, then Pete will post in here, and half of them will change their minds and become huge fans and suck up to Pete.... Just like every other thread that pops up about the limited release tats. Popcorn anyone?

For the most part I have enjoyed the special release Tats. This one I will pass on though. The RG is just to large for my liking.

acarr · 08-15-2010, 02:04 PM

So many new releases what is a person to do. I though Rocky Patel was bad, I am thinking Tatuaje is out for the grand prize on different cigars they can offer.

guado · 08-15-2010, 02:05 PM

That box is not the actual box. That was from teh S.T. Dupont booth.

The actual face boox is a rustic unfinished wood box with cuts and blood splatter.
