Tower Cigars......Damn that Pete Johnson!! :) - Page 2

Hey Dan,

Mark is a stand up guy and he gave a valid response to a limited availability release. Unfortunately you weren't able to get a box; that's life man. Don't put a guy or business on blast with out knowing who they are or ignoring how they are treating you (in this instance very fairly). I can attest to Tower treating their customers great.

Stinky · 10-08-2010, 11:09 PM

Mark is good people. I've known him for about 10 years. He's a straight shooter kind of guy and runs a clean operation. I was in Sacramento last month and made a special effort to go see Mark and his little cigar shop. Maybe he didn't make it clear that being on the list was just that. Probably shouldn't rip him. Do you still think you got skunked? IMHO: suggest you write back and ask to be put on the next list.

Yeah I tend to agree the Merchant seemed to do his best in a bad situation, I thought the 13th was the big date? I might point out I have had reason to post bad info on a online retailer and I did everything possible first,

Different scenario but a lot of people read these sites we should be more careful when disparaging sites, times are tough and not really fair to possibly hurt a guy who did his best.

Not that you said much past you would not buy again still, just my thoughts.

Oh well congrats to those that got one, I did try a little but don't expect anything to come of it. I expect some day I will get to smoke one.

I have one more thing....

I bought a box of franks at full retail and I'm a retailer.

I had ten and ten on the Boris and drac. sold them all. I didn't
even keep a box for myself. I have only ever smoked one.

I didn't even keep a box of Face for me. I sold them all.

Tatuaje black jars....I don't own one. sold all I had.

That's the kinda ship I run. I do this so you guys have good stuff
to smoke. I rarely save stuff for me.

Night guys.

This is why I will always buy from Mark!

Mark, I wish we had more retailers like you.

Isy was supposed something like 10 boxes of Drac and 10 Boris last year. He reserved boxes for those who were quick and Tatuaje sent him 1 box of each. Their reply was screw the customers, keep them for yourself. Not the way I like to do business. Isy had to disappoint several friends and customers. To be honest, they were not that good anyway.

Dan, PM me your addy and I will send you a few good cigars.

Mark I know you're a stand up guy, I gotta make a trip down there it's been too long.

I'm late to this Parade because i wasn't on yesterday but Mark just is a very good and sincere man. And he's a straight shooter. You don't find many men like this in general, let alone the cigar business. Annnnd, he's as crazy about the hobby as we are! I think you should recant your position Dan, because you don't know him, but Mark is a "First Come, First serve" kinda guy... (At least that's my personal experience with him).... Just my

It's never to late to change, Excel. However, willingness is a prerequisite of change. Are you willing?

Night Mark. (Or is this Huy?) Either way, thank you for not only providing top notch service, but for being an all around good guy and stand up BOTL.

I have to get up to Tower some day. I've only met Mark in person once. It was at a herf. Before we even shook hands Huy passed me a Viaje Platino Lancero that Mark had brought an entire box of to pass out. That just seems to be his style, a giving BOTL.

Bill86 · 10-09-2010, 01:14 AM

It seems to me the bad organization of the whole thing is not any retailers fault it sounds like tatuaje's fault. They really need to use their own website for limiteds that way no one else is to blame. Also stop releasing so little....it just pisses everyone off. I mean I get why they do it, BIG $$$$ right when they want it. Many places do this but you know who hates them for it, the customer. I've got my name on this list and I'm sure I'll be disappointed......But then and again there's always other cigar brands that'll get my $$$ instead.

We've always been a world of haves and have nots. Nobody is to fault here. It is the name of the game with any collectibles world. And yes, I am calling the Monster releases collectibles.
