Ah you lucky buggers if you live on that side of the pond, would definately be going to this if I lived close to London, love Tat cigars!

[Detroit_Waves]

Very lucky indeed, 15 is a steal. Its a shame im across an even larger pond, or I would also be there with bells on!

I've just been told that the 7th is actually Pete's birthday so it should be some celebration. Tattoo's are optional.

[Jacobwaits]

Anyone know which of the lines are going to be released over here?

[PoohBore]

Hello All,

It's actually been a long time since I signed in here.. Yes as Nic mentioned, Dec. 7th is my birthday and I am looking forward to being in London for my 41st. The last time I visited was in 2007 and it was just for a couple days of vacation. I am very excited to launch Tatuaje and meet everyone who comes down to the event. Hopefully you will enjoy the product as much as I do.

Regards,
Pete

Hi Pete and welcome (back) to the Forum. Hope to catch you and wish you a happy Birthday in person.

Little bird tells me there are still a few tickets left for this. Call the store on 0207 930 3787

What a great night, about 30 people (about 30% from the forum I estimate). I smoked one of the cigars and really enjoyed it. Among the very best NC's I have smoked and I would certainly buy more.

Spent some time chatting to Pete who is a fascinating guy with a serious passion for cigars (as you would expect) but also got a chance to talk to some of the team from the company that makes Pete's cigars and to continue my education on cigars and tobacco.

As ever also met some other really interesting cigar folk and met many old chums.

I know the evening in Birmingham will be great tonight!

[Bad-Yeti]

Dammit, I really wanted to go to this so badly

Hurumph.

[The Prince, Moseley]

Glad you enjoyed the evening Nic. We are certainly looking forward to tonight at The Prince.
