News that made me wanna CRY...

[ctiicda]

I do not remember if it was on here or just surfing online...I saw that both the don pepin and tatuaje stuff across the board is about to take a sizeable rate hike:angry: I am fairly well stocked in the tatuaje stuff however, it is also my fav company right now... can we get a confirmation on this from anyone else? If this is the case just wanted people to know so they could do a little stocking up...

[sseagle]

Mmmm, I need more stockings...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :arghhhh::angry::angry:

Will talk to a couple people who would be knowledgeable in the area to get to the bottom of this!!

I thought that the rate hike happened...I have noticed Pepin Prices went up...

A little old but mentions both brands.

I am gonna call our Tatuaje rep today and see what is going on... this does not seem to be a good idea as tatuaje is already at the higher end of most people spending amount! I would hate to see the ability Pete had to get so big so fast go the other way just as fast

[iloveclmore]

Wow, I don't think that Tatuaje can afford a rate hike considering they are already pretty pricey. As much as I like their stuff, I don't think I could afford it if they cost more than they already do.

I am with you guys.. I can't afford to buy them by the box yet... I only buy a few at my local shop once a week, and thats a bit much for my budget.

I just started smoking them and think they are good, but if the price goes up, I can smoke something else that is just as good. They might actually lose money from inventory not moving.....

This news sucks

Read the title of the thread, thought you were goin to talk about Mark Texeria moving to the Angels from the Braves and NOT going to the METS! Anyway, back to the SITREP, this would indeed be a blow to my purchasing the TATS! IF so, damned shame, they are a great smoke.

Word is the new pricing sheets are out for Tatuaje and some of the sticks (Brown labels) are supposedly going to be almost double. I honestly think Pete Johnson will regret this price hike as it will hurt him in the long run by losing a large loyal fan base. Yes, Pepin is also following suit with the price hike.

[eggyellow]

this is no good, no bueno!
I have just discovered the Tatuaje brand a few months ago and have been all over it. i may be purchasing a box soon before the hike.

That sux if it's true............

As we are on the TAT product, I wonder how much input Pete even has in all this, meaning he sets a price (MSRP?), and from there??? Hopfully he may shed some light for us...after all, it seems like every thing on the block is gone up in price and some way up! Which is a shame, cuz the milk and eggs come first, then the goodies!
