I didn't vote, but I would buy a box if they made more. I enjoyed the smoke, I only bought a fiver but in my opinion they are box worthy. I have 4 left and that should hold me over for a while, I have plenty of others to smoke. I will probably vote yes because I enjoyed the cigar and want more not because it's an LE thats been all hyped up and could be worth more down the road.

Speedy, I saw your reasoning for voting no, and I understand your point. But, I have a question for anyone else who voted no: did you get any Little Boris already? It seems the ppl I've seen vote no, mostly did so to protect their investments or to preserve the "mystique" as I saw it described.
^This, I was under the impression the idea of the "Brotherhood" was to pay it forward, smoke among men/women and enjoy the company of like minded individuals atleast with regards to appreciating cigars. If another run isn't done how much is really gained?(A oh you should of got them, sucks to be you kind of conversation) Why discourage a manufacture who has the means to introduce more of a great product? Kind of a Dick move... Sure put a chastity belt with dead bolts around your own stash but why "cock block" on those that didn't get em?
Did I just really read this

So let me see if I have this correct

I smoke cigars therefore I follow cigars, I know what is coming out that I want to go get, and I go get it, this pre order was available for more than two weeks, not a day as some have been you also did not have to know someone to get on a list as other releases have been. Yes I got mine and I had already shared some and plan to share more. I don't give two shits about price gougers, and that is a section of the people that smoke cigars. So NO in MY opinion there should not be another release, I think I am entitled to mine as you are entitled to yours. As for questioning brotherhood around here or questioning mine, you can all have that opinion as well

I just have one question...Who are we to tell Pete what to do with his product? Keeping perspective we are a small group of cigar enthusiast out of a world of cigar smokers. It seems to me we should just be lucky enough to enjoy whatever he makes and not complain about his choices. Poll or no poll. I say do whatever you want Pete...keep on Rocking! :peace:

We should have no say, he should do what he wants how he wants the way he wants

Keep public opinion out of it

However I believe he takes the negativity about his product personally

I was wondering when this part of the voting "no" discussion would start. If the cigar is that good why would you not want to buy more? I guess the cigar tastes so much better as a 500 box production as opposed to a nasty tasting 1000 box production hahaha. Itd be cool to hear something interesting for a "no" reasoning...besides saying the cigar wasn't worth another 500 boxes Haha.

Pete has said he has other projects that require the same wrapper and wasn't sure if he had enough tobacco to do so. There was suppose to be more than 500 boxes, but he could only do what he could do, he will do what he want to do in the end. Since Pete is the one who suggested the poll be put up on Corona, he would do more if he can, it's not a petition what many of you say it is and it's just a gauge of interest. You also have to realize $1 per cigar goes directly to CRA, you know the group that is fighting to save your right to smoke, I don't see anyone else doing it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and mine is that I really dislike the fact that people are like, "I have mine so never mind about you" mentality, which I've said on Pete's Facebook and other places as well. Those who purchased two boxes were fortunate to get two boxes, after a while Corona had to stop and limit everyone to one box because so many people wanted them and that was when they thought they were getting more than 500 boxes. After it all a lot of pre-orders weren't filled because they were all gone, why not give those people a chance who really want to at least try them. Shoot, the boxes weren't even on the shelf because they went out to everyone else, why are we being so greedy? It's not even a guarantee it's going to be another 500 boxes, but even if he made 500 more, 1000 boxes is still limited.

No. Saying "no" purely on the premise of I want to be the one of the "few" who got to smoke them and "I have a deep desire no one else to have some" is a Dick move. As mentioned this isn't sports memorabilia none of us with them are going to flip a $90 box into a quarter million return on investment. What mystique or allure are we protecting by saying "No! Pete don't make something we enjoy more available. " If its at the risk of another great product coming out then by all means hell no.. But if the resources are available to reproduce the Boris at 500 more boxes why not?? It'll still be limited.. Opinions may vary but mine is the same holding onto something you purchased go for it..ATTEMPTING to block others from getting something is a Dick move..

At the end of the day its Pete's decision either way.. It'd be a shame to see some of us Cheer for joy if he decides to not release anymore, it would be equally disappointing to see people bash him if he does release more...

Well Speed I wasn't singling you out directly more so agreeing with Treinenwj if it isn't a bad stick why not come out with more, But you mentioned it yourself there are "Price Gougers" and when people have a strong biased against a product being released so that they have the one of few.. Makes you think what exactly are their intentions?? And I don't feel I personally labeled you as someone going against the "Brotherhood"(If I did my bad I guess). More like posing the question:What as a community do we gain by saying a product that seems to have a overwhelmingly positive following, not be given another run? Hell Id like to see more BOTL12 sticks released(I gave away half my box to close friends) if I was presented with a opportunity to encourage Drew to release more I'd vote yes... I enjoy LP9 pigs I have 5 left would I be upset if it was re-released no..Onto MF I was lucky enough to get a Jaime Garcia Limited Connecticut am I now pissed I smoked it because its set to be released sometime this year No. The more the marrier...

So many have such strong words it's like some of you work for Tatuaje or have partial ownership in the brand. Pete has said this, Pete has said that....... Pete..... Pete.... Pete....... It's like a few speak directly for the man. So many strong opionions here against so many others. Anyone who did not get any........... It's called a ISO. People here are the most generous of all boards. Just let the man sell a product and take it for what it is. Another great cigar brand. They are just cigars after all. If you missed this Le they'll be a few more this year and the next. If anything just answer the poll imo and move on.
Regards,
Jfire

I can't wait until the next Tat LE so we can just move all the complaining to that thread. It's not the end of the world if you didn't get your box of Little Boris. Lighten up people, and if you want some, post an ISO and someone may help you out. People are entitled to vote yes or no to a poll. Personally I didn't vote, but rather would see Tatauje dedicate time to the next project instead of dealing with the last project(aka headache, like this thread shows), would that make me a dick if I voted no to the poll because of that reason? I think that is what speedy is trying to say as well, and those that want to call him out for it should realize he is one of the most generous brothers on this board!

Well put Craig, thank you for helping convey my thoughts
