Can't tell you that until you pass through the initiation rites.

TG - Are all your posts going to be :-)

I need to know because sometimes you're ridiculously valuable in your posts (see: http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showth...hlight=Privada) and sometimes you're just pissin' around.

Should I be reading your comments or is this a joke one for ya? (I don't care either way...I'm just curious for the sake of my own reading time)

That's a good point because many would see it that way but techinically it's not YOUR name giving it to charity. I know you were probably being sarcastic about it but in reality Tatuaje is the one who gets the credit for the charitable donation.

There is no way people are going to pay $150 for a CHANCE to buy some cigars...

There will be cigars included, mark my words :-)

Another thought I had before I head out for a run...

IF you can afford to smoke Tatuaje (or any other high-$ sticks for that matter) is the $150 that steep of a price tag?

One of the charities is/probably should be titled "The Pete Johnson Sucker Memorial Retirement Fund."
While I dig his cigars, his marketing isn't my cup of tea, and I pass on this type of hucksterism, either First Party or third party.

This Way to the Egress!

That describes a ton of the people in the Asylum. :-)


I love Tat's but there is a point when marketing turns into masturbation.

You should never include children in it, though, because it is wrong.

This is about Tatuaje dammit! Don't you get it? You shouldn't just be reading it, you should be memorizing it!

Gotcha! :-)

Can someone post the email itself?

We apologize for the delay, but we are finally here to unveil the details of the Saints & Sinners club.

The Saints & Sinners Club is an exclusive members only club and for an annual registration fee of $150, each member will receive:

1. Exclusive, one-off products available only to members (select products may not be available for purchase through the S&S webstore).
2. Everyday Tatuaje branded merchandise at the Saints & Sinners club rate.
3. Access to members-only forums, where you can discuss the finer points of cigars, smoking accessories, spirits, and anything else associated with the Saints & Sinners lifestyle
4. Access to the Pete Johnson video blog. Here, Pete will update members on everything PJHC. Watch Pete as he travels around the world, visiting his production facility in Nicaragua, engages fans on cigar tours, and dishes on anything else he feels his Saints & Sinners family should know about.
5. First looks at new cigar blends, swag, as well as insider info on Tatuaje and other Pete Johnson brands.
6. The knowledge that a portion of your annual membership fee will go to an eclectic mix of charities that Pete choses for their commitment to their particular cause.

Visit the site and become one of the first granted entrance to this distinguished organization.

With the extremely limited nature of the products we are producing for each membership kit, we need to get an idea of how many people plan on joining the club so we can begin producing the qtys necessary to begin shipping shortly after launching the club.

To opt in, please click HERE and you will be directed to a new sign up page!

If you no longer wish to receive information leading up to the launch of the club please unsubscribe by clicking the button below.

It was mentioned previously that it includes 15 cigars. Part of the reason for the delay was setting up a Florida corporation where there is no tobacco tax for shipping those cigars. Admittedly, the email is vague.

Somebody beat me to it.

Thanks for posting the info, Aaron.

If nothing else, 15 Tatuaje-ish cigars could be worth $150- if you enjoy their line up.

ajacobs & srduggins - How dare you?!

Both banned from the club before it even officially begins for sharing information! :-)

I don't see in post #34 where it mentions 15 cigars, is it somewhere else you could link?

If there is no more included in it than discounts and access to LEs and the other items mentioned in the e-mail than $150 is steep in my opinion. If the membership includes some swag and maybe an exclusive sampler of sticks than no it's not too off the wall but if I am going to pay $150 I would like to get more in return than the promise of be able to buy more of Petes stuff even if it's discounted. The way the e-mail went out it makes it almost sound like the Sams Club or Costco of Tatuaje. I was kind of excited to see what the Saints and Sinners would be but after this mornings e-mail I was quickly disappointed from how it initially sounded in the rumblings in the past months. Initially I had heard if you were a member you would be sent test blends, samples of up and coming sticks, swag etc.
