New Cigars and a Discount Coupon

Hey Guys,

Just a little update mid week style (cause that's how I roll) we just got in the Gran Habano 3 Siglo cigars which I think are fantastic. You can check them out on our website in singles or boxes 3 Siglo Cigars

Also the Tatuaje Coffee has been rolling along very well and we have gotten some great feedback, the sampler pack has really been a hot item. If you have not tried it you are missing the freshest roasted coffee on the planet.

Check the cigar boards for our discount coupon and be sure to use it, the coupon is for 10% off any $50.00 purchase or more. A good amount of people have taken advantage of the coupon and ordered a good selection of smokes and accessories.

We have a huge Illusione order coming in next week and should be able to supply the east coast with the most popular sizes lol.

So a ton of people have been asking me lately about my eye so I thought I would give a update, I hope to get the last 4 stitches out tomorrow. The stitches are bugging the hell out of me and I feel them on my eye all the time now. So after they are out and the doc says it is ok I will be firing up a special cigar a BOTL sent me (thanks Hollan). So after 3 operations and 20 stitches (on my eye) I am ready for this to be over.

Thanks
KP

Crazy Coffee Week

Well we launched Tatuaje Coffee this week and all I can say is WOW, what a response. I have never had so many instant messages and questions about a product in my life. The concept seemed so easy, yet it turned out to be pretty brutal. Having super fresh roasted coffee available on demand is difficult but we managed to do it. All of our initial orders have been shipped and we are starting to get feedback about the Tatuaje Coffee. So far everything is flowing great and we are going in the morning to take pictures of the Antique German Roaster and we will take some shots of some of the beans being roasted. We will be smoking some more Tatuaje Cigars and drinking more coffee for future ideas to expand the coffee brand. I actually have another idea that I would like to get going involving the coffee brand but I still have kinks to work out before I let the cat out of the bag.

I hope everyone likes the coffee and the coffee bags because a lot of love and care was put in to preserving the high standards that Pete has for Tatuaje. So next week we will be doing some Tatuaje Coffee and Tatuaje Cigar combos with some special pricing. We did get a 1/2 pound sampler put on the site today and already started shipping a few of those.

Next phase will be launching the wholesale division, yep that is right if you have a retail store and want to sell Tatuaje Coffee contact me now. We will be limiting the number of retailers and are currently developing a sku for the initial orders.

Thanks for all the support guys

A Big Announcement!!!!

Well after months and months of planning and work in a few weeks the product will be available and will be launched on the multiple cigar forums I am a member of. Que the drum roll or music if you will............................................Ladies and Gentlemen from the owners of
Silo Cigars
and

Tatuaje Cigars we bring you
Tatuaje Coffee.
Silo Cigars was chosen as the distributor for this premium blend coffee.


Yep you read that right, after months of smoking cigars and matching them with custom blended and single origin beans we (Silo Cigars) have (along with Pete Johnson owner of Tatuaje Cigars) paired his specific blends of cigars with custom roasted coffee. You might ask what makes our coffee different, well all our coffee is roasted the day I you order it (locally roasted) and delivered to me the next morning. Then at our facility we package the coffee and ship it to our customers, so you get the freshest roasted coffee available at a very reasonable price. All the coffee is roasted a few miles from our store in a Antique German Roaster 10 lbs. at a time. We will be kicking off the coffee with 4 blends paired with his current blends such as the brown label, red label, white label and soon to come black label. The white label is also blended to match the Cabaiguan cigars and his future ventures in the cigar business. We are currently working on the websites to add these products, I will update you as soon as we are finished.
