My dress box arrived yesterday, sticks smell great. The box was beat to shit, I thought, "F#CK!". Then realized it was suppose to look like that. Only complain is there's barely ANY blood on my box. Boy that sounds weird, never thought I'd complain about that...
Uptown's was solid with the way they handled it in my book :applause:My "home" B&M was not just one of the Unlucky 13, but also had Pete there in person on October 12th to release the cigars. The way they conducted their sales, at least to me, and I'm certain to most of you, was very simple. They gave their regular customers first stab at purchase at the Tatuaje event from 6pm-9pm and you had a chance to get the box signed by Pete. Then what was left (due to weather, a rather large event the previous Saturday etc) there were a pretty good amount of both the dress box and the 10 box left over, all were sold out the next day. I opted to pick up 4 myself and smoked one that night and put the other 3 back. I purchased a mix and match box of Tat products in order to get the 3 pack of Blacks, hat and cigar box opener.
I also know that the crew at Uptown's did not charge over MSRP for the sticks.
Glad you got lucky. They took mine and another brothers info(including CC info) and we both got nada....Thought I'd give 3 J's C Cigar in South Florida a shout out on here, one of the unlucky 13. They opted to have a lottery for their boxes and I managed to snag one. I just got a box of black tubos from them last week and their shipping and customer service was top notch. Don't think I would have been able to snag a dress box without the lottery. Thanks Noah!
They were giving extra entries for commenting on their blog & for box purchases of Tats. So with the number of entries I had, I figured it was a statistical certainty I'd walk away with one of the two different boxes lol! my 16 entries out of maybe 500 entries x 30 boxes...had to happen lol.Glad you got lucky. They took mine and another brothers info(including CC info) and we both got nada....
sure did, october1st. Only way to score them now is being lucky, may come across a box or 2. good luck.Has Pete already announced about 13 retailers?

It was announced well ahead of time what day/time the list would be released via his site as well as many other placesPete hesitated to announce 13 retailer's name officially? If it is so, I can't buy The Face from Japan...
