LOL Pete.. If a B&M gets it (which wouldn't surprise me), that'll be hilarious

One shop did the "Spooky Scavenger Hunt" where you had to be on their site surfing the Pete Johnson cigar areas at a certain time and something randomly pops up for you to buy the dracs... That's just what I was told over the phone

yep, i (semi-professionally) posted my dissatisfaction on that local Columbus Ohio B&M's facebook webpage and he deleted it without even trying to acknowledge it, etc... what a piece of horse dung.

Shops can do what they want... like I said, just wasn't worth the effort of making sure I'm home at my PC on what was an awesome Saturday afternoon

Bribery is the name of the game and it will cost you a little more but if you really want them, that is what it is gonna take.

10-22-2009, 12:28 PM

nice....I'm waiting to get my email notification that one of the local B&M's is selling 'em...I'm on the list...wonder what'll happen.

they dont care what people think, they are going to sell out of dracs either way with such a high demand. They dont care if they piss people off our lie to people. money is money to them.

RightAJ · 10-23-2009, 02:33 PM

Got a message from Holts saying they were in, so I call back and they're gone.

Sooooo pissed right now... I pity the next person to bother me

There is the Black Tubo and the Verocu Tubo coming out in November. Much more of a release though.

Also, heard that the first ticket was found in Texas. Some kid named Augustas Glute.

lol

made me smile, Scott.

To quote miss Veruca Salt, "I want it now!"

I supposedly still have my name on the RI store list. I'm hoping to pick up a box of Boris too. I know the owner, but you never know. I'm not even bothering calling him to see if I'm still on the list. I'm showing up at noon on Halloween and he's either selling me the boxes or not. Way too much hype just for a box of cigars.

Pete has always said that he's fine with a B&M winning a ticket ... it's unavoidable, as many are opening all their boxes to sell as singles or (ggggggrrr.....) put them in over-priced samplers@!

I'm suprised at how many B&Ms are getting away with charging so much MORE than MSRP for these. My buddy just got a box of Dracs at $19.95/stick and Boris at $18.50/stick. Tax was added AFTER that! That's just wrong, and I hope Pete doesn't ship those guys Monsters in the future!

Yep, and a buddy of mine on the CigarBid forum got a Spooky Ticket too, #13!! That's at least 2 down.
