I can tell u as a retailer that the msrp is pretty much what we put... within a pretty close range so if they are going up in our store then we got an increase from the manufacturer... The fuente rep was just here and he reminded me that they deal alot with other countries and the value of the dollar has dropped alot so that has a big part to do with it i am guessing...

Nothing new everything is going up!Whens the last time you heard wow price drop on cigars?/never?Might get lucky online auction get them on sale that way.But price cuts notta.Cigars are not for the poor person even though i cry poverty all the time.Shipping alone on cigars is a joke at least 4.50 priority to ship cigars under a pound,come on.Butane just went up a short while ago.I guess i could find a cheaper habit but i wont,I will keep complaining like everyone else and keep on paying the man for the cigars,but maybe less than before!!!

Yeah from what I understand everything is going up. And of course thats just not cigars. But I can't see him going to double the price of a stick! Has anybody took this to his section yet?

I cannot imagine they will double in price. If that's the case, Pete's pockets will hurt!

Where did this double his prices come from ???I have read a sizable increase.Not anything about doubling his prices.

[azpostal]

Double the price...if this is true I won't be able to afford them very often and I think a lot of other people are in the same boat. Everything does or is going up and I understand that but double?

[Oxman]

Never tried them yet; at double the price, I never will.

Wheeewwww. I'm glad my resources obviously have their facts wrong. Makes me feel a little better as I love this brand but if what I heard ended up coming back as fact than I would have to walk away from smoking these on a regular basis. Now I'm going to have to question my resources as they obviously have the facts wrong.:angry:

[ezmoney5150]

How much more could they go up? At Cousins in Avon, the Reserva SW is $14.

Pete has recently instituted a new agreement with retailers which limit how low Tatuaje products can be discounted. In addition he has limited transshipping and cross-promotion.

This type of agreement really helps bolster the B&M and helps us compete against the internet humidors.

Glad you included this thread. I was just with the Tat rep yesterday and there was NO mention of an increase, only talk about Pete's GREAT sticks!!!!
