When you buy a Drac or Boris keep a look out for something like this. If you find one, the back of the ticket will tell you what to do. Good luck in your search.
Here's what Pete had to say....
Johnson isn’t finished, however. He’s also giving away a motorcycle as part of this year’s Halloween promotion. “We came up with this last year,” Johnson noted. “It’s a Ducati Monster (696) and we’re going Willy Wonka to select the winner.
“There are 13 spooky tickets inside boxes of The Drac. There’s no purchase necessary, but if you find one of the 13 tickets and register it online, you have a 1-13 chance to win the bike. We know a lot of these cigars are given as gifts and retailers will open a lot of boxes before they put the cigars on the shelf and we’re fine that they are eligible to win as well.”

Looks like a lucky retailer will be winning a motorcycle. Nice contest none the less.

Cabaiguan sells without this crap, Tatuaje Selecion de Cazador is the same, Tatuaje Havana VI as well, La Riqueza too. Do we really need all the gimmicks Pete Johnson?

I would suspect the retailers will be checking every box and they will win. :2

Nope, no such luck.

I'd love to win the monster to replace mine...
I was already planning on buying a box, but now I'll definitely pick one up.

There is no way someone besides a retailer is gonna win.:r

I wish the contest was designed as well as the ticket itself! Awesome concept but unfortunately...none of us who want it are retailers :(

It would be awesome to win.
An actual end user winning, unfortunately ain't gonna happen. I have never tried any of the special releases, but buying a box blind is beyond my frugal (read: cheapass) means. So I wish the best to a lucky retailer.
I like stuff like this. It's purely for fun and nothing else. I mean, Pete knows he doesn't need to promote these cigars. They sell themselves. I see it less as a promotional gimmick, but instead more like his way of showing appreciation to the hardcore Tat fans. Unfortunately due to the way cigars are packaged and sold, it's true that the retailers have the best chance to win.

The 13 stores that carried the Frank last year will have most of them but every official Tat retailer will get at least one box.

I see where a retailer has a better chance of getting a ticket but you know a lot of people will want to buy sealed boxes, even more so with the Golden Ticket promotion. I definitely don't see it as a certainty that a retailer will win. :2
I gotta admit, I'm bad about buying into the LE hype and all the Monster series and Golden Tickets and stuff... yeah, I'm a sucker.
