That's why if you are smart, you don't make any promises.

If the shops had said "We just found out we were going to get these, we have no idea what we are going to do, but we ARE making a list of people who called in case we decide to distribute them that way." you might not be so (rightfully) annoyed with them.
this is how most of the northwest shops have handled things, and i respect it. they took my contact info, and once they had a handle on things, i was told there were 3-4 singles of each that i will be able to pick up when they come it.

i think some of this was confusion, and probably workers that really didn't know what was happening.

if anything, i think logistics broke down. who was getting what and how many, and most BOTL knew the shop was getting them before the shop did!

Next year Pete should mail out a packet or something to the B&Ms so they know what's doing on.

Next year they all should be sold at one location like Pete said. Its the most fair, that will not allow people who have no idea about them to get them, it will limit the amount 1 person can get, etc.. I like the one location idea/.

Maybe Pete should have folks come to him, just to see how bad folks want them! No lists, if you aren't there, too bad!

The problem with one place having them is they will make sure "their" customers get them. No one else will get shot. I liked the idea of 666 original boxes and then sell bundles of the same cigar. The box isn't the big thing to me. Its the cigars that makes the memories. The box just gathers dust!

IMHO CRA-like idea is better.

You log into www.tatuajemonster.com and order yourself a box and pay $66.60 and have it shipped to your local, AUTHORIZED, tatuaje dealer.

Pick it up from your local B&M for $102.40+tax and call it a day.
(or vice versa - pay B&M $66.60 and Pete the $102)

This seriously is fair for most I think (could be wrong)- including the retailer, because your local would have some opportunity to make $$ on the LE.



oooh, PS - Pete, you are a tricky, tricky guy - seems that somebody already owns tatuajemonster.com and it redirects you to the main site. interesting (in the voice of tourette Pete [from the stern show])

Agree and disagree....Pete should do the 666 boxes and do bundles or plain old boxes for the others...don't really care about the box...When Marvin in Hawaii got the T110's (only 200 boxes) there wasn't a hastle...no one retailer is gonna have 2200 customers walk in (or 1200 for that matter) and buy boxes. Damnit get Angry Bill! :grin:
