Anyone else manage to secure some when they come out? I have to admit...I'm pretty turned off about the whole experience. Obviously I did not get any...not for a lack of trying. I have to admit I'm kind of turned off to Tatuaje in general now. The worst part is...I love Pete's cigars. He may want to re-think his marketing in the future. I understand that he wanted this to be "limited" but this release was just ridiculous...yes...I'm very bitter.

Guess you wasn't around last year because it was the same thing with even less amount of cigars. So lets see, gets his name out there like crazy for a couple months (at least), sells out most before then even go on sale, then the rest prob the day they do go on sale, yeah don't think he will stop doing this for years to come. I do think he has to many limited cigars, but it is working for him so why stop.

Agreed...now you have to wonder how many companies will have ultra exclusive limited runs for Halloween...Thanksgiving...Christmas....Fourth Of July...etc...etc.

I'm 99% sure I won;t get any either, but this fact doesn't turn me off of the brand. It's just how the world works. You gotta know people. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone in this case, and my local B&M, whose owner I have a good relationship with, doesn't carry tats. What does this mean for me? I'll just have to try harder next year.

I wouldn't say this has turned me off on the brand, but it has turned me off on some retailers. There are a few shops I will probably no longer use and there are a few shops I will probably start buying from a little more.

According to Pete on his Facebook retailers where no suppose to pre sale or put name on boxes. If they did I would go there and post it on his Facebook.

I would love to try one of these but there are so many good smokes out there I wont die if I don't try one. I guess I will give the B&M a try after my post Halloween hang-over subsides.

I actually got my hands on 3 Dracs, and 2 Boris today. My B&M had them out and was selling them so I went ahead and just grabbed them. They said that they arrived today and just put them out for sale. They only had two boxes of each and the Boris box was almost empty already. The drac box was half full. I'll take some pictures after the Sharks game.

I missed a phone call yesterday from a B&M... They had a box for me, but because I missed the call they gave it to the next on the list.

Yeah, I dunno about the Halloween release. I think Tatuaje is allowing them to sell them today, because if you look at the Tatuaje Nation site it list that the first Spooky Ticket has been found.

Edit: Here is a link to the pictures: Tatuaje Drac and Boris

My understanding is they where suppose to wait till Oct 31st. But when it comes to money people do what they want. That kind of crap is what puts a bad taste in my mouth.

According to Tatuaje's own website there was a ticket found already so it means that they know that the cigars have been sold and/or allowed for it. My B&M said they got them in today so it makes sense that Tatuaje shipped them to arrive on the 22nd and might not have had any restrictions on the release. My guy at the B&M said that he was not instructed to not open the box for sale until a certain date. Did Pete say anything about the release date? From what I understand the 31st was a speculated date. From Tatuaje's website: October 22 2009: The first Spooky Ticket has been found in a Drac box in Texas! Tatuaje Cigars - The Scoop I might be headed to the B&M again tomorrow to pick up another Boris or Drac.
