Tatuaje Drac

[doubled]

I ended up getting my ticket pulled for the raffle, I put in 8 dracs and 5 boris. Figures someone beat me to the boris. Kicking myself for not just going all dracs, oh well I guess I shouldn't complain.

I have to agree. Fuente makes a killling every X-mas with the Anejos and Opus X runs. The limited number of venders, the crazy mark ups, the limited productions all seem to trigger some crazy human gene to desire and covet at all costs. Seems like Pete just took a page from the Fuente marketing department last year and used Halloween as opposed to X-mas and Father's Day. Just tell the masses something is "limited" "one time" or "in short supply" and money flows. P.T. Barum would be proud of both of them. Create a frenzy, market limited production and sit back and collect the cash. I'll give each thier due in this ecomony cigars are a luxury so salesmanship and marketing are critical to stay a float.

Smoke what you like and like what you smoke. I'll stay with Padron for now. Two lines, regular and the anniversary series. Only one "limited" production the 80th. Nice thing about Padron is a fair price, consistent product, good quaility control, and I can always get a few of my favorite Anniversary sticks no matter where I travel for business and I don't have to wait for X-mas or Halloween.

"Willing to buy back any and all boxes of Drac and Boris if someone is not satisfied." This is pulled from Pete's facebook. Just thought I'd post it up here.

Wow, some people are tearing the Dracs apart on the facebook page. One guy is even saying that a refund won;t be enough...

People are saying that there's a odor that's unpleasant coming from the box? Some said they let the box air out for a couple of days and the odor went dissipated.

Yea, I really enjoyed it.

I picked up a Drac on Tuesday and I noticed no foul smell from mine. Course, maybe they let the box air out and the cigars sit elsewhere.

The box does have a paint smell. However, the sticks are separately wrapped. I took my sticks out and put them in my humi- leaving the box to air out. None of my sticks had the smell from the box at all. People are also upset that the Drac wasn't as strong as they thought it would be. I never heard that the Drac was going to be a strong cigar, so I think that was just speculation. Pete said on his page that the Drac is not supposed to be a strong cigar because Dracula is an elegant monster, and they wanted to fit the cigar to the name. I give them even more props for this, as it shows that they put a lot of thought into making the cigar and didnt just appy the Drac name to some random new blend.

My cigar did not have the smell at all but once I cut the head and did a pre-draw test it was there loud and clear. But didn't taste it when I smoked it. The rest of them are no longer in the coffin box.

I am left to wonder about them Dracs (I'm not worthy). From the reviews so far, it reminds me of the Gran Cojunu.

Since it was never really addressed, I'll do it now..

the Oct. 31st thing was not the date they could start being sold, that just happens to be when Halloween is.

The point was to be able to get them to retailers with enough time that they could, if need be, ship them out and have them to the customers by the 31st.

That and something Pete said back in Sept has stuck in my head, the Drac must have been his reasoning..

"Strong for the sake of being strong is a waste of good tobacco. How about flavor people."
