Tatuaje "The Face"

[stroke]

This is not Pete's problem nor the way he would "like" things to happen. But, like many other short run products, these things happen.

Bottom line is, if a retailer pisses you off, don't buy from them. Don't misdirect your issues with retailers towards the manufacturers. They don't control private businesses.

Just my .02.

I'm totally with you! In any aspect of marketing I do not hold a manufacturer responsible for the actions of a distributor. There's no doubt Pete does his best to take care of us because, aside from the fact that he clearly makes a conscious effort to find out what we like and meet our needs, thus showing he actually cares, it is his business and livelihood. I'm sure he does his best to assign his top-notch distributors when releasing LE cigars. Why would he intentionally assign a distributor who is going to treat consumers of his product poorly, thus (potentially) hurting his long-term business? Sure he's selling his product to them in the short game, but poor distributor/consumer relationships wouldn't have a positive effect on his future business.

Iswith funds tight, I've gotta wait at least a month before getting on the waiting list.

You can go ahead and get on the list and if someone contacts you just pass 'em up and wait until you can get them. If you'd rather just wait it's cool, but you'll also be ok hopping on it now.

Smoked one today, and I personally, loved it. Burned like a razor, even at 79 MPh in the car, never once had to touch it up. Great flavors, kicked up on the back. Very happy with this one.

WHOA where are you going 79mph...that sounds unsafe! :headroll:

 

[mthhurley]

Whoops. Meant 70. Buttons close on the phone.

Got a message from a shop I had done business with before informing me that they had both boxes in stock. Called them up and got the 10 count box for $160.00 shipped. A bit over MSRP, but not bad.

With taxes on top that is not a bad price at all

REAL BLOOD! Painted on the inside of the box.
Beauty is: Real Blood = No Lacquer Smell!!! lol

:applause:

The day that the "Unlucky 13" retailers were announced I called Uptown's Smoke Shop, Nashville, TN and had my name added to their waiting list. I hadn't heard anything back from them so I sent them an email last night just to get an update, here is there response to me....


"We are putting The Face on sale tonight for in-store customers who attend our event with Pete. Any boxes that remain will be offered to those on the list tomorrow. We intend to just start at the top and work our way down until they are gone. Can't really tell you how many we will have left after tonight."


So we shall see what we shall see come tomorrow.

this sounds like the best way to do it. maybe Pete could stager the release dates and visit each store. I know it would be alot of work, but people would dig it.

Have the plain boxes been released everywhere? Keep hearing people talk about them but the site says the week of Halloween. Does anyone know what the deal is?

A few have been sent to the 13. The bulk of the release is a little later this month.

I think I saw a fb status update from Pete that was basically reminding everybody that more boxes will be shipped out to retailers soon. Something to that effect. I assume he was speaking of the 10counts.

Ps: when people refer to the dress boxes, they are referring to the 10 cts right?

....dress box is the 13 count. Regular box is 10.

The Dress boxes are the limited 666 boxes. I suggest picking one up if you can, they are beyond cool in person!

Thank you. That is what I was wondering.

Ahhh, I thought people meant the 10 ct was the dress box. Why is it called a dress box? Cuz it's all dressed up? lol

I've heard the term before and just never knew what it mean. Sometimes, no matter how much you smoke, you're just always a newb! lol

You ain't kidding. I got both of them on Monday - I emptied out the fancy box and put it up on the wall with the other 2. Looks great and it really stands out from the others.

 

[chuckiep]

Looking forward to trying these....

 

[boltonic]

I'll be picking up a box today but most likely will be the 10 count which is fine with me!!!

 

[Nuckz23]

My shop said that they would receive the 10 ct box on the 20th.

 

[smokinpeace]

Looks like mine are coming tomorrow. Hope these live up to the Boris.

One box shipped yesterday, another shipped today.
