The Limited Cigar Thing... Opinions...?

phobicsquirrel

There was a new Tat coming out and at another forum I made the point that I hate it when cigars are so limited that they are only released at one or two shops. I don't like it because it makes is way too hard to obtain the cigar and if the shop won't ship phone orders it's even worse. I don't mind cigars that come out once a year or something Like a Oliva V maduro as they can be easily had if you just do a small amount of searching online but for something to be released at one location I just don't like it. Way too gimmicky.

Its all about the cash and hype my friend

Tat is one of those brands that's all limited release, or limited edition...
If I can't pick it up at the local shop or here on ccom I don't even bother.

I think a lot of "limited" cigars on the market contains a lot of marketing and hype. To me, a truly limited cigar should reflect a low supply of tobacco for the blend and a low supply of the appropriate labor (i.e. the highest level torcedors) that is able to create it.

If you're talking about the La Verite... I will say this, the entire concept behind that cigar justifies the limited production, in my opinion. If you're talking about the Outlaw, well I like the idea of shops getting house blends done by boutique brands. I personally have never had a bad Tat...

So how limited is "limited"? From what I understand, it can be anything from a "limited" single run of a few thousand boxes, to an unlimited number of boxes for a "limited" number of years

I'm okay with yearly or seasonal releases like 5V Limitada, Anejo, and V Maddy but I think to make a stick that is sold at one or two places is too gimmicky for me.

Wow, Alex. Do you just go through life looking for lines to cross??? LOL!!!

I feel the same about the Tat T110. It sucks that only one shop in frickin Hawaii got these made for them. I mean, seriously, you're gonna go and make the best damned cigar in the free-world and only sell it in Hawaii??? WTF Pete Johnson!?!?!?!

Luckily I have one resting in the humi. It will stay there until I start getting the shakes and can't control myself anymore.....

See now, if you give it to me, there will be no need for the shakes. You can avoid your suffering by letting me suffer for ya! ha

I agree with you Pheebs. It's kinda ridiculous. I don't blame them for doing it, they can market their stuff however they want, but being a Tatuaje whore, it bothers me to know that I'll probably never get my hands on their special releases.

All this talk about orgasim's, whores, and getting your hands on things has got me excited!!!! I'm looking forward to the next limited release from Tat if they can keep this up.
