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.

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.

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

At least you got the message. I gave them my email address and they never emailed me. That's ok because there are so many more cigars on my want to have list that missing out on these isn't even going to be a dissapointment. I might not shop at Holts for a while though. I've averaged one or two boxes from them for the past 4 or 5 months though so it's their loss not mine.

I will gladly eat my words on my previous post.

I did get an email from Holts. They explained they would sell 3 singles per customer and anyone wanting a box had to come in and talk to the manager. I called the manager and explained I was recently in the store for a Rocky Patel event with my supervisor. We went right from work in uniform and the manager said he remembered us. He also remembered that I was there last week looking for the new San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol and they were not in yet.

To make a long story short I explained that both my supervisor and I would like to split a box of the Dracs and that I would also pick up the box that I originally went looking for last week.
When I walked in the manager called me by my first name which about floored me because I didn't expect to be a known customer. I guess purchasing about 10 boxes of cigars from them over the last 4 months left an impression but never the less I was still surprised. Not only did I get the box of Dracs, I picked up 4 of the Boris(two singles for each of us) and the box of San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol that I wanted in the first place.
The Dracs were selling for 13 per single. While doing the math we noticed it didn't add up so upon studying the receipt we noticed they gave us a nice discount so my props out to Holts for taking care of it's military customers and not selling above the MSRP. The Dracs were still sealed although I'm sad to say I didn't get the golden ticket but hey I was impressed once again that Holts did not open the box to take it out if it was there.

This was about 1pm today and they hadn't sold many yet. I did notice they only had about 4 boxes of Dracs and 5 of the Boris by the counter so anyone in the Philly area might have a slim chance still. Sorry it took me so long to get on the computer and post. I had to catch up on some work after my excursion.

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.

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.
