So the Frank, Drac, etc. all be different blends?
I kind of remember this from last year. The Frank, Boris, whatever the next vitola will all be the same blend and the Drac and progeny will be of a different blend. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Here is the deal...
The new Frank will be called the "Frank Undressed", and will be the same blend as the old Frank, about a half inch shorter, and a different wrapper (I think 666 boxes total of that, but don't hold me to that)...
The Drac will have 1300 boxes (13 to a box), with the majority being sent to 13 retailers, but almost every Tat retailer will get at least one box...The top 13 retailers will be listed on Oct. 13th ...info will prob be on Pete's facebook page...
There will be 13 "Golden Tickets" in 13 separate boxes of the two cigars above, which will be used to draw a winner that will get a prize of some sort (I know I saw it somewhere, just could not track it down...A bike I think?)
At THIS point, the Dracs are due to be released in time for Halloween. That could change.
The new Black Label Tubos will come 10 to a box, and are due to be released in November (at this point)..."It's a hair higher priming, we're told. It also comes from Pepin's farm, La Finca Estrella, this time. "
In case you are counting, there are now FOUR different sizes of the Black labels. The original Jar Release (corona gorda), the Robusto (that you have to get from Pete at a function), the new Tubo, and the Toro, which is exclusive to the CRA Sampler.
Hope that helps!
