Thanks for the info Pete! :-)

On a side note those NHCs look tasty! :-)

If they're the SW blend in a Lonsdale vitola I will be ecstatic! No question I will be picking up a box of these on release.

I enjoy the chase and I enjoy HTFs. Sure it sucks when you smoke them up and you know you can never get anymore or you miss the boat and never get your hands on them (like me with the monster series to date :-)) but something else will come along and the chase begins again. Many of us enjoy it whether it be EL, LE, Regionals, NCs or CCs. I find nothing wrong with it.

That also may be because I have yet to get burned too many times since almost every HTF I have come across has been quite good.

Thank you for chiming in Pete, good to have you here. :-)

If it's Anarchy, what's with the secrets and rule following? Did someone drop the dictionary on this one? :-)

Thanks, Jordan. I thought that was wasted. :-)

LOL,,,Yeah I know

New marketing slogan:

Tatuaje! The Apple of the cigar world

What can I say. I have bought Tatuaje's and liked the ones I have bought.
[Reply]

So since I get sick of your "i'm so great" attitude I can go on here and say you are a tool?

I think that the mod's would put an end to it if I was personally attacking you all the time.

Show the same respect and be a decent human being.

Woah, wait, what?

Darrell is human?

You sure about that?
[Reply]

Sure, call me whatever you want.

Who knows, give it a try. Take a risk! :-)

OK!

I apologize for calling you a tool, Pete. What I really meant is that I don't care for your strategy for building hype on your cigars. I know that is the core of marketing, building anticipation for something. However I don't like how upset it makes people when they search, search, search and are sad when they cannot find them.

Pete,

I personally love your blends and they are one of the few NC's I buy on a regular basis.

While I don't go too crazy looking for the hard to finds, I am a huge fan of the brown label regios.

I did stumble upon some Blacks in the tube at Corona in Orlando recently and enjoyed them a bunch.

I watched the video and wondering if Anarchy is an acronym.

On the website it's a.n.a.r.c.h.y. :-)

These threads always go off on the most irrelevant tangents. Who cares if someone does or does not like Pete Johnson. I would go so far as to say that the very large majority of people saying they don't like him have never seen the guy outside of a google photo. This thread is about an upcoming product (I'll assume it's a cigar since the one guy said it's not clothing).
[Reply]

Wow, this was an interesting thread! I don't really have a super emotional opinion on Pete Johnson or his cigars. The tatuajes that I've had have all been decent cigars, and they seem to be priced about right (I haven't chased any of the limited runs). For what it's worth, I'm all for his marketing campaign. What could be more American? It makes good business sense to me; he's creating hype and demand for his cigars, what's wrong with that? Any good business person trying to make their way in the world would do the same damned thing. If you want one of his cigars and can't get one, too bad! Either try harder next time, be willing to cough up more money, or be left out - it's that simple! Just because you enjoy Tatuaje cigars doesn't mean you are entitled to one of their limited/exclusive lines! Do people bash Corvette when they release limited run cars? Are all Corvette fans that have a standard built car entitled to a limited run car? Of course not! That's why they are LIMITED RELEASES!! There is a limit to how many are made, and therefore they command a higher price than REGULAR releases! It seems to me that Pete Johnson puts out a quality cigar (for the most part, I haven't tried them all), and he markets them aggressively. What the hell is wrong with that?

Maybe I'm missing something here, but just because I enjoy Cohibas doesn't mean I'm entitled to a Behike. If I want one that badly, I should be willing shell out some dough, but I'm not willing to, and that doesn't hurt my feelings or change my opinions on Cohiba/Habanos SA one bit.

...and is this different from finding many other sticks how? Fuentes, Padrons, and many others not to mention certain Cuban marcas were, or still are just as hard to find if not harder.




The way I look at it, if a person dosent like a brand for whatever reason, just dont buy them. Period. Pretty simple concept really & it dosent require a Masters degree to figure out.

I havent ever smoked a Tat anything to be honest and it would be probably safe to assume I wont like them, but geeze man OBVIOUSLY many folks do, so why should I knock what someone else enjoys?

To each their own. If you aint footing the bill for someone else's Tat's, you got nothing to say other than you dont like the cigars.

Or anything else for that matter...cell phones, dvds, concert and sporting event tickets...etc. If somebody feels sad enough times over something that's really important to them...they'll figure out what needs to be done to stop feeling sad. IE: Find out how to obtain whatever they feel is important, or make it unimportant anymore. Those people who aren't on the different cigar boards, don't know that the majority of boutique cigars even exist...so they have no reason for bad feelings. And for those of us who are on the different cigar boards monitoring every move out favorite blenders make...well, we're poorer for it... :-)

And as if chasing Tat's wasn't bad enough...now there's this Andre guy... :-)
[Reply]

Pete keep on keeping on with your Holiday line, it’s a great product and IMO & fun to try to track down a box or two.

I look forward to meeting you during your upcoming visit to Outlaw Cigars in Kansas City next month!
