2010 Halloween and another limited release by Tatuaje’s Pete Johnson. 2010 had 3rd installment of the “Monster Series” – this one is called “The Face” after Leatherface. Pete sold 666 limited edition boxes of 13 to 13 retailers on the 13th of October and 1300 plain boxes of 10 in the week of Halloween to his top 130 retailers. I consider myself lucky to own all previous “Monster Series” boxes. Getting Frank or Boris nowadays is like chasing a ghost or shooting in the dark – close to impossible. 2010 was slightly different. I called few ‘Lucky 13’ B&M retailers only to be advised that the waiting list was 100+ people and available box count so significantly less than a 100. Oh well, their loss. I went to CI event which featured “The Face” and the man himself. $180 + autograph + photograph + conversation = perfect combination !

After my regular browse through the “Stogie Review” site I was rerouted here. I have to say this concept is very interesting. I think I like it and will be checking back to see your next eye-catching works. Two thumbs up on this end!!

Great shots Jay, the textures here are awesome! The blurred foliage in the background really gives a nice mood to the shots.

Thanks, Daniel.
I do enjoy shallow DOF both in cigar and non-cigar photography. I tend to shoot with my f/1.4 ; 1.8 ; 2.8 lenses.
