Meeting Pete Johnson
03/05/10 at 15:56:07
 
Hey guys -
I know a lot of you are Tatuaje fans - Today I took a trip to a cigar shop north of Baltimore (I've never been to before) that I've heard is a great shop and carries Tatuaje.  

My normal hangout carries only quality-premium cigars and says hes been begging to get the brand but is on a wait-list or something.  Anyways -  I felt like a kid in candy store when I checked out the new shop.  They've got every "hard to get", "premium", "exclusive", "limited" cigar you can imagine.

To make it better - there are signs everywhere - Saturday March 6th - Tatuaje event w/ Pete Johnson!  

So tomorrow I'm heading back and checking out the event.  I'll let you guys know how it is.  

Any questions for Pete?

Easter,

We will be hosting Litto Gomez next week in Bethesda from 5:30 till 10. Our LFD's will be full stocked and we will have some drinks and food on the house. Feel free to come by!

Back to the original post, I met Pete before. He didn't give me any real respect b/c of my age so my first meeting left a bad taste in my mouth.

Probably not your age so much as you're just kind of a dork.

Damn, that sucks you didn't get a good vibe from Pete.  He seemed really down to earth with everyone he dealt with at the event.  

He made himself available to everyone and seemed to sincerely appreciate any comments or compliments people gave.  When things settled down he chilled with a group of us and told us a couple stories of hanging out in Esteli and working with Pepin and Jaime.

Some really interesting stuff with regards to creating and choosing a blend.  He said he blended El Triunfador in a day while Pepin was working with Ashton.  He said the process isn't as difficult as you might think.  He said that he has an idea of what each source of tobacco produces and what his other cigars are made of and works from there.  

I picked up a box of the Red Tubos and a couple La Riquezas.  The bonus on a box purchase was some swag and a 3-pack of black-labeled Tatuajes that are only for event giveaways.  Those things are delicious.  I wish you could buy them.  Does anyone know if those black labels are comparable to anything in the brand lineup?

how do you post a picture?  i click insert image and it gives me a place to put a link to the image i suppose - no browse type insert.  when I added the link to the picture it "x"ed it out or gave me an error.
its on my site.  - the coolest part of the picture is he holding up a box of La Riquezas.  
The interesting thing about that is the box is a 10-pack of Churchills only available at events.  pretty sweet.

You need a url image address in between the {img}{/img} code. I looked at what you'd posted it and it was an attempt to link to an image on your C Drive.
Wink

Just copy and paste the image address from your website and stick it in between the brackets for "insert image."

(I had to switch from brackets to post correctly.)
