They were $13 a piece originally. I just bought 10 for $150, so not too much worse. You live in NY so your idea of stick prices are skewed. With that kind of tax tacked on, most of the sticks I smoke wouldn't be worth the price.

Its pretty obvious that most people don't agree with him considering the sales at most places. Different shops in different areas just have different collective tastes. Things that fly off the shelves in one part of Houston may not move at all in another. Its ok that he doesn't like them, it...

x3 Its like people don't believe in the free market economy anymore. People have a choice of where to live, shop and eat (ain't freedom great?) so don't live, shop or eat where people are allowed to smoke if you don't want to smell smoke. If the owner loses enough business because smoking is...

I have a fairly large desktop humidor and it works just fine... for my singles. The 15 other boxes are in my coolerdor, hahaha

Pete actually said he liked that idea too and would look into the logistics. :thumbs:

How is his business otherwise?

Its hard to say if giving them all to Gloucester would help that much. Can you imagine the shit storm they would have to deal with? 666 boxes to be distributed from one store, that's handing them a $56k+ check (more like $65k depending on how the taxes are assessed). I think having it divided...

Meh, high demand and low supply means people that want it aren't going to get it. There are going to be regulars, walk-ins and internet buyers that won't get this cigar. No sense worrying about it. I never got a frank.

If they know you, and know that you buy tats from them often, they'll sell you a box. There are way more cigar smokers that want this smoke than will get it... You'll get your chance but your chances aren't going to be quite as high as those that are regulars at one of the selected shops...

A walk in is different from an internet/phone sale. More than likely, they are within driving distance of the shop so there is a chance that a new regular could be made from that sale. That's why I would favor face to face sales above all else. Would I turn away a guy that walked up and asked...

Many hardcore cigar smokers don't troll these forums and don't always know about what is coming out when. To maximize the benefit from this windfall they should be focusing on strengthening the bonds that they have with regular customers and expanding their repeat customer base. For a store...

Pete has already said that there would be guidelines for how the sales go down next year. Hopefully the shops will know before the public next year. If I were a shop owner, I would let the regulars get first dibs, then walkups, then internet/phone sales. If everybody doesn't get what they...

Awesome, that'll give me a week or two to recover financially from the drac and boris releases...

I'm about ready for cain to catch up on their production... I want a box.

I wouldn't be so sure. Look at the black jar releases, they're still available from time to time at MSRP.

They'll show up on secondary markets.

Well for the Frank, there were 666 boxes divided between the 13, which is about 50 a piece. The total production for the Drac is 1300 boxes, so assuming this years 13 divide another 666 boxes and last year's get at maybe 10-20 boxes, that leaves between 340 and 500 boxes to be divided between...

I'm kinda glad Serious isn't taking preorders. That way I can just go to the release event and pick them up.

Which B&M are you talking about???
