Why Can't I be a Lancero?
I know. It's funny, before I ordered he responded quickly, real quick actually.
Then again, as Dave can attest to, I don't respond to e-mails lightening fast sometimes.
I gotta side with Tobii on this. From the date this thread started to the date he posted in the "Shelves are in" thread was 2 months. That is not an unreasonable time to wait.
I am in the same boat as SOFC, I dont have a horse in this race. I did however send an email to him on his "contact us" part of the site regarding timeline and price. I heard nothing. I would have been happy with an automated reply saying "its going to take a long time, just wait". His work looks amazing, there is no debate on that. If I click on the "order" bar on his website, and he tells me it will be 8-12 months, fine. No problem with that.
Quote from his site:
"Most Pieces are cut in advance and assembled per order.
Please allow 3-4 weeks for these units to be completed"
A good job takes time, but be realistic with your customers, and keep them up to date. If there is a delay, fine, I can deal with that, but at least pass some info on to the customer.
This thread has gone crazy. I still would order from him because his work looks great. But..... a little communication goes a long way.
My cigar just went out typing all of this, what a waste.
I know!!!! Doesn't he understand that hand made goods take 3-4 times longer than their quoted time and that it is impossible to send emails when one is building them. Gosh!
Cigar Cowboy
BoY...in Hell!!!
I have all my felt Cowboy Hats custom made. They are made out of Beaver (the kind that swim in ponds children). I wait four months for a custom made hat. They cost around an average of $1,000 each. I get just what I want.
They are worth every minute and every dollar!
They are worth every minute and every dollar!
Contraire mon frere....I've seen no such admittance from tobii...At least everyone agrees by nowcommunication is essential.
Judging by his posts we should be waiting YEARS before any type of communication is necessary.
After all, have YOU ever tried to work 8 days a week as a sole proprietor??
Didn't think so.
Touche! But still, that was SOOO not the point of my post. Like many others here, I was talking about the lack of communication.
4-8 months is not at all unreasonable, UNLESS you were quoted 3-4 weeks and never told otherwise.

Can he do work for a 46 or 53 Btl Edgetemp, or only 28? :thinkidea
Well, let's see here.
I'm paying someone to make something for me, I'm not paying for them to park at their desk and answer every piss bitch whine and moan email, nor am I paying them to listen to 47 voicemails of "opinions" from those who feel they can do a better job.
I contract someone for their WORK. Not to talk on the phone, not to sit on their a$$ and answer emails. For their WORK.
If it takes extra time, so be it. THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR. This what defines CUSTOM from MASS PRODUCED.
You guys are b*tching like you got screwed out of thousands of dollars.
Chas does UNBELIEVABLE work at "tapwater" prices, you guys flood him with orders because you're too cheap...then bitch about his delivery time?
Ron posted a thread about an Avallo 1000 for sale....and there's all of ONE post in 5 hours...with 46 views...speaks VOLUMES.
:bickering

I've been a Paratrooper for 21+ years - you want to try and wear my boots sometime, PLEASE feel free to step forward.
Then you should know more than anyone the consequences of deadlines, keeping your word, and good communication.
KPP ordered:
4 Cocobolo double drawers @$46.50 each = Total of $186
Vivalanation ordered:
1 Single Drawer @ $29.75 = $29.75
1 Double Drawer @ $38.50 = $77.00
3 shelves @ $17.75ea = $53.25
Total of $160
SEVEN pages of whining over LESS than $200??
You have GOT to be fugging kidding me.
Seven pages of GROWN MEN whining, pissing, b*tching and moaning over less than $200....on a cigar board where we routinely drop well over $200 on ONE box of cigars...
Really? REALLY?
Hahaha! Once again, (and my last post here, cuz this is getting out of hand) nobody is b!tching about price. Nobody is b!tching about a wait. They are upset, and rightfully so, about the lack of communication. I'll say it again, LACK OF COMMUNICATION. Choose to ignore it and argue other things, but still that's what this thread was about.
