I've stated this before he's laughing in your faces......Tatuaje - Tattoo....are you kidding me?!?! Tattoo Tattoo......that's just so creative, notice how he's putting the same bands on his cigars now? Not even changing the bands! Just the words on them! I feel like I'm preaching on deaf ears though.
I want to see a post where someone says "PETE PLEASE RELEASE 400+ CIGARS A YEAR!" Then I want to see say..... 10,000 people that agree. You won't find that anywhere.....it doesn't exist. No one is forcing him to release 400+ cigars a year.
The only people that defend Pete are the few that can afford to keep buying all these LE cigars. So of course if you have the coin you're going to say RELEASE MOAR!!!!! If you, like most people cannot afford 400 boxes a year.... you are probably sick and tired of this pathetic charade.
Come to the dark side, we have cookies.

I like his cigars, but I do t chase any LEs down. I'm too early in my career, with too many other financial concerns to worry about. He'll, I can't afford smoke at all right now, so I don't partake.
Guys, it's just a plant. Be glad you have the money to enjoy the hobby. Relax, and smoke em if you got em. Whatever 'em' are.
OT. Sorry for the typos. Mobile phone.

If smoking CC's and joining the "darkside" exclusively, means acting like an incredulous d-bag, count me out! This was quite possibly the most inane and inappropriate post I have read in here.........you sir are fail

I actually hope they leave it up. I get a better idea of who our fellow cellmates are and how they think. The way I look at Internet forums is that they are like towns or cities. You don't want to be buddies with everyone in your town for whatever reason, same thing is true online. If posts like that are removed you lose a lot of insight as to who is behind the avatar.
To each their own, chase what you like, smoke what you like. If you want to mow down 'Free Cuba's' all day long then go for it, just don't expect me to smoke 'em and don't be dissapointed that I won't.

Looks like Pete's cancellation tweet was a practical joke after all.

Okay everyone. Yesterday was all in good fun. I really didn't think people were going to freak out so much. Everything is normal at Tatuaje.

Wow this thread went downhill fast.
I am waiting to see if they officially confirm the sampler. If they do than I will more than likely pay the price to play. 15 sticks for $150 (for Tats) is not too bad so if I end up never using any of the discounts it's no big deal. I will look at it the same as if I bought a sampler here from another BOTL. I think all around Pete is getting beat up on this S&S thing which is why your seeing some of the posts on Facebook regarding S&S and people being pissy. My only issue was the e-mail that was released was rather vague and did not mention getting any solid goods in return for your membership fee like mentioned in previous posts. The actual idea of the club itself does not bother me just the fact that before the released e-mail Pete mentioned getting sticks and swag in return for joining where as the e-mail basically said it will be $150 for a lot of fluff and never mentioned the hard goods.

You've been around long enough to know better than that. If it's about Tat and Pete is mentioned, it's guaranteed to go downhill in, oh, about 3 posts. But hey, it's all about the brotherhood, right.

Well, you know what they say... "When people you don't even know hate you, then you know you've made it."
Or something like that.

Did I still make it if the people who know me hate me?

Let's keep the thread on topic and discuss the points being made.
If it degenerates into name calling and insults toward members, it will be closed faster than you can say Caputo.

I'm excited because I found that drop down menu in the lower left where I can change the theme for the forum. I think I like the Blue theme the best.
As far as the S&S I think I will go for it. I like his smokes so 15 cigars for $150 isn't bad. Shoot I spent a lot more than that for a membership to a local lounge where I get a keycard so I can smoke there after hours....and I don't even use it because I can smoke in my house....at least I will get something for the cash here. Everyone has different means and likes different cigars. I think it's nice that we all have the time and means to enjoy cigars and post messages here...even though I don't post much...but I sure smoke a lot of cigars.
Peace.

You have a key card to use a smoke lounge whenever? That's AWESOME.

So, did the May 1st come and go without this club actually starting? Or, did my secondary e-mail pass through to my spam folder?
Anyone have any info?

There was a tweet about some video he was trying to get posted but was running into technical difficulties. So I guess the 1st was the plan, but it's delayed a little bit while they work some kinks out.

He's looking at May 15th now. We shall see.

It does not matter when it opens up... FWIW, Pete has said it will not be limited (either by numbers or time) and that he will not have the swag he is including until around the end of may (at last update)...
In other words, even if you sign up 20 seconds after it is opened, you (most likely) won't get anything until the same time as someone who signs up on May 25th etc...
