Stearns hilarious I was going to make a haterade comment earlier, but opted not to waste the time. Some people have life all figured out and know no one elses point of view can be equal to theirs. Local shops are supposed to get them today. I guess they wont be as bad as previously thought with taxes as because Pete operates out of Cali he has to pay taxes on the sticks so maybe they wont be so expensive. 13-16 and I will probablly buy a couple. For some reason the boris is kind of exciting to me more than the drac.

you know what the difference between you and me is my friend? i got no problem wasting time

Yeh, I never liked the idea of even storing the Frank coffins in my humidor. I removed the cigars before putting them in my cabinet. I still have the coffins, they are just in a box instead.

maybe pete intended to season the coffins with lacquer.

UPDATE: Just received a e-mail from Tobacco Grove. E-mail was sent to people that asked to be placed on the list. Guess you have to be on the list to even accept this "Sampler", so it may not help most of you. Here is the e-mail:

Thank you for your interest in Tobacco Grove and the Tatuaje Drac and Boris Monster cigars! Unfortunately, if you are receiving this email, we did not draw your name for one of the five remaining boxes of Tatuaje Dracs.

Please be assured that we did all we could in order to get everyone a chance at a box of these extremely limited cigars, but obviously due to supply and demand we couldn’t accommodate everyone – but this email is one last chance at getting a taste.

Because we value your time and understand your desire to obtain these cigars, we have created a sampler pack for you. The sampler pack contains 1 Drac and 1 Boris, as well as an El Triunfador Lancero by Tatuaje, and a Tatuaje Unicos.

The page to obtain a sampler pack can be accessed by clicking HERE (:::There was a link there::

. Once on the page, click on the picture or the link below it to purchase the pack.

Please know that there are not enough sampler packs for everyone being sent this email, however, we do have at least 50 samplers available. Samplers are first-come, first-sold, and you are only allowed 1 sampler per customer. All sales processed through the site are time-stamped. I will be cross-referencing customer names for purchased sampler packs against our list of customers who contacted us regarding the Dracs, so please do not make this link public, or send it to friends; and be assured that I will not sell anyone a pack who is not being sent this email.

These samplers will only be available on the site for the next 48 hours.

Again, we want to thank you for considering Tobacco Grove when the initial Drac list was released, and we appreciate your patience during this hectic week!

Thank You for your business,

AVVA Cigars in Salem, Oregon, received two boxes today. I found out that I got one of the boxes, and the other box they are keeping to sell for singles, etc. They may be willing to sell some singles to people (not sure, but does not hurt for someone to ask). They also have some other great sticks in stock- Padron 64's, VSG, Oliva V, and more. There website it at: http://www.avvacigars.com/ But I would call them directly if I were you- (503) 585-5807

I purchased my box for $13.50 a stick (50 cents for the Oregon tax). The company has been GREAT to deal with so far, and I look forward to going by their B&M the next time I am in Salem (on the way to Corvallis for a Oregon State game!).

They weren't on Tat's distribution list... what the crud?!

That throws a wrench in the works.

I am happy.. however to know of a 'relatively' close B&M.

PS. I live in Corvallis

Once the boxes are aired out, I personally don't see what the trouble would be. I've had to air out boxes in the past, it's annoying but not a huge deal. I store all my painted and unpainted boxes together and have no problems with it at all.

I realize that having the paint INSIDE the box is different, though. I"m still planning to store my Dracs in the box (assuming I get a box!), though I'll probably leave them in the paper.

Lucky rat, I would like to live in Corvallis, great town. AVVA Cigars was on the list, under the "Additional Retailers" listing, which also included Oregon B&M's Rich's and Cascade Cigar. I decided to call AVVA because everything I had heard was that the additional retailers would receive 2 boxes, so i thought I might as well call them early and try to reserve a box. What B&M do you use in the Corvallis area?

Corvallis has a B&M?

Sorry... we have one tiny little hole in the wall shop. Was great when I was just into it for kicks with friends, but his selection is extremely limited. Decent guy though, just he has nothing I'd want anymore.

When I first started out with cigars I went and picked-up a few RyJ from a gas station on 9th street. Actually had a walk-in humidor. I am not sure if it is there anymore, and most likely would not buy from there now of days even it it was.

Just scored a box of Boris in MA, definitely go through the list of additional retailers and just google search their number, they have some left.
