Agreed!!! But I don't want to come off as sounding like the "whiny ass" that wasn't able to get a box. I am sure Pete gets enough of those emails.

You could include the link to this thread in the e-mail and he can see that you are not the only one. I know Pete has an account on here, but he just doesn't check in here unless someone directs him to.

Sent him a tweet (my first ever at that) with a link to the thread...we'll see.

Good thinking.

I just sent 3j a second email asking for an update on my order status. I plan on emailing them every day until I get some sort or response.

Not to thread jack, but Tobacco world in Marietta has 5-6 boxes. Here is their website for contact info.The Cigar Super Store

I'm not affiliated with them in any manner, I was just there today and saw that they had some.

Going To Rest Mine, Anyway For At Least 3 Months.

If Anyone Still Wants Some, Call Micah @ PartySource. Mine Should Be Coming In Tomorrow.

Mine from The Party Source should be here today. I could have picked them up as I live only 15 minutes away, but shipping is cheaper than gas and tax

I've smoked through all of them a couple times...Wolfie, Mini Mum, Lil Drac, Baby Face, Frank Jr. in the order in which I liked. Frank Jr. is the only one I think that could use some age on it and will get better.

how much time would you say is good time?

Waited and just scored a box from my local, they are out now though.

Sadly more than a few months. The flavors weren't right at all. The Lil Draco might need a couple to get really really good. Pete really messed up if this what the Draco was suppose to taste like

Chainsaw13 · 06-27-2012, 12:33 PM

See I liked the Frank Jr ROTT. That twang which I never got in the original was a nice bonus.

From everyone I know who's smoked the Drac, the Drac was hands down the worst of the Monster Series, and the Lil Drac was infinite times better. I enjoyed the Lil Drac, but agree it would really shine with a couple months of down time

maninblack · 06-27-2012, 01:47 PM

I finally got my refund from 3J's. Waiting on my box from Neens to show up.

I had a full size Drac the other day and I don't think they'll get any better.. past they're prime I believe... though it's more tolerable...

Personally, I enjoyed them fresh. They could use a little time, but why not smoke em if you've got em? A little one dimensional, but a good earthy smoke, gets a tiny kick of spice toward the end.

I finally received an email from 3Js this morning..."should be in Friday, will receive an email from USPS when it ships...some mumbo jumbo about a free LE tshirt...blah blah blah".

I ordered a box from The Party Source at 1153 this morning...they shipped it at 1222.

kelmac07 · 06-27-2012, 04:28 PM

I signed up on Tweeter just to tweet Pete...and his immediate response was that retailers were told not to pre-sell until they had the product, and that he was sorry that I had to go through what I did. While the interaction was very cool, and the response was lightning fast. I truly understand why retailers pre-sell...just not why they charge your CC before they have the product to send to you.
