i never said it was inline, i said the market will dictate what sells based on other sites that are popular performance related they are in the middle.. skips good quality thick shirts were 65 bucks.

Personally I used to buy a lot of merchandise from cigarette. I bought everything off the old website including magazines, coolers, lanyards, hats, and liscense plate holders. They made great Christmas gifts too. Probably spent several thousand dollars over the years on merch. It might be a drop in the bucket…but sales are sales. Anyways it’s unfortunate because I don’t see myself paying $80-100 for a shirt or $90 on a hat. Kinda sucks…but it is what it is.

I see where they are going. Im sorry guys but the times are changing and Cigarette is changing with it. How else are they going to get this younger generation interested in the sport. They dont think the way we do. They have a totally different logic. I do see the younger generation in love with horse power. I see it every day. Not everyone drives a Tesla or wants to. If you dont want to drink the cool aid then dont. The direction Cig is going may be a home run.... Just saying. I get it...

exactly, just because its not ones "taste" doesnt mean it wont sell. i had a well known guy on here who worked at cig years back send me a pm because i bought a cig neon light from an outside vendor. he was kind of a Dick about it too.. he asked why i didn't buy from them, i said i didn't see it on the site, he said well its not listed.. well wtf? how am i supposed to know that??

lots of new money out there, I hope it works and the brand lives on, but for me it isnt about the quality of the shirts, its the quality of the boats. that has yet to be seen.. ill hope they succeed, but if they dont I'll know why.

5 pages of negative press for Cigarette and not a peep
out of our resident Cigarette critic…. what’s up with that?;)

Im sure they will sell some, but I don’t see clothes flying off the shelf. Cigarette under skip had trouble selling thru product even when t-shirts were $20-40…often times there were sales and clearances to move merchandise. we aren’t talking about stainless steel rolex sport watches or birkin hand bags.

Where out thou Jup?!

which brings the next question and you answered it, why are rolexes so expensive, its just a watch? or a birkin handbag, just a holder for tampons and lipstick?

I just paid $140 for a Psycho Bunny hoodie but would I pay that for a Donzi hoodie? Probably not and I'm not sure why...

What's their shipping rate now? I think before it was like $20 to ship a key floaty.

No need to pile on............:D

So billionaire owner, quadrupling sales, flying around in a 20 mm helicopter and the only new boat we have seen was a Doug Wright with stickers (and that didn't even work out)! Now we have "all new merch" yet it is just the same stuff with "all new higher pricing!"

Their new tag line should be: Cigarette all "Smoke and Mirrors" since 2021!
I've never seen a boat company so hyped up about the next chapter (yachts, jet skiis, tee shirts, hats).............YET WHERE ARE THE ACTUAL PERFORMANCE BOATS?

demand

need demand to increase prices. see previous post regarding the need for cig sales and clearances to sell thru mechandise.

my guess is Harley Davidson started small. Saw a huge demand for gear and couldn’t keep items on the shelf. There marketing guys sat down and said “wonder if we could upcharge for this crap and make a fortune”.

Cig is in the early innings…apples and oranges in my opinion.

Really??? Psycho Bunny dog. Shiiiii t dog that hoodie is dope bro

Outerlimits is charging $25 for a tee shirt and $30 for a hat.
Midnight Express $25 each.
Nortech $30 hat, $22 tee.

sounds like what i said wayyyyy up there^^^ the market will dictate... but I digress...

damn, I’m gonna have to call Dan and get a few shirts. 😁😁😁

How about giving them a little bit of time. It took Skip a short while to get going. Why so much negativity?

Deleted post, I agree why the negativity.

:D I gave it 5 pages!

I'd think CRT was a well oiled machine, not sure how much time they would need to ramp up production but then again Bud Lorow bailed and they canceled their dealership agreement with their largest dealer so they may have some hiccups going on.

Best of luck to the whole company, no matter what product they are planning on producing!

Man, for late April some of you guy's are doing a whole lot of keyboard boating........

I get most of my Cig from Performance, best prices and a good selection. I`ve had shirts and stuff made locally too . Cig can go suck it with that pricing .

well instagram says they are sold out

Website shows they are sold out of select items…but who knows how many they had to begin with. I don’t beleive or trust anything the company pushes these days. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

well! Humor is not lost on Dan. This showed up today. Lol.

thanks Dan! I’ll wear proudly.

thats $1,000 worth of cig gear…nice score!!

I completely agree as well! nice

Classy move by Dan/OL! :D

Agreed, acts of kindness and professionalism, that is impressive

Dan’s a great guy. Best thing to ever happen to OL. I’d say one of the best decisions mike ever made was hiring him.

Dan and his dad are great people

we bumped heads a few times many many years ago on here. But over the years I’ve had time to get to know Dan and spend a little time with him here and there. We actually text pretty frequently and go back and forth (he ribs me non stop for being a die hard cig guy). He’s a Really good dude. Never met his dad in person but always appreciated his content on here in the old days. I always thought it was cool that he and his dad were tight. Now having two boys of my own really puts a solid father son relationship into perspective. Im sure his pops is over the moon proud.

Nailed it!!!

Im wondering if cig wil be selling shirts, hats etc at key west this year???

Not at those prices........:D

Dan was a high school kid driving his dad's Gladiator when he was here on on OSO. He was passionate about OL from the beginning even before he worked there.

He has turned that passion into a career and they are extremely lucky to have him. I've texted with Dan a few times and he was always quick to reply and very informative.

With approved credit, yes.

The prices are quite ridiculous.

Hmmmmm, having a 2k dinner/bar tab is a night out, paying 1k a weekend for fuel is just a cost, but a few hundred on Swag? Your all funny!!!

Anyone read the article in poker runs America on the Ruiz kid? I got a few good laughs out of it.

I don't think it's so much the price of Cig stuff, after all anything Cig is $$, they gotta pay for all those logos somehow, however it's more the silly rhetoric that's come out of the iconic industry brand and now anything is fair game.
