That being said, I have tried all the releases, and have had mixed reviews. The Frank is great, The Drac was a huge dissappointment (except for the unbanded ones, those turned out better) and the Boris was by far my favorite. I'll get the Face if I can, if not, no sweat. I do feel though that it's his company, he can do what he wants, I talked with him about the Drac release and he was really pissed about the uppricing of the sticks, the huge problems with availability, and the overall confusion, enough so that he thought he may not do one this year, but he already had invested too much to give it up, so, hopefully this year will go better.

Just watched the video and it was really interesting. Not to threadjack, but it is cool he's bringing back the T110 blend under a different name/size, keeping the T110 for what it was and those who got it, but releasing more of that blend for others who would like to try it or make it a regular smoke. Also, you better believe I'll be joining the Saints and Sinners club and Adopt a Farm, sounds like a couple of cool programs.
Back on topic, it's good to hear that he's releasing more of the monster series than previous years. 666 boxes on Oct 13th with the special box, then another 1300 boxes of 10 on the week of Halloween without the special packaging to give more people the chance to get them who are just interested in the cigar. It'd be cool to get the special box, believe me, but I'd definitely just be happy getting to try the cigar itself.
