I wondered if you were still alive out there.

No leads on the Face here. If I see any (which I'm not looking), I'll send them to you. I'd go for the Viaje Skull and Bones if I were you.

I would start by contacting Pedro. If you dont know Pedro, PM me and I'll set up a meeting.

Other than that, I dont know. I really haven't been looking for the limited stuff unless it just falls in my lap.

I am planning on sending a little something to Japan to repay someone for some Havana Club that landed in Texas several months ago. It is October now so the temps have cooled enough to ship. Just gotta get in touch with Nate.

PM me if you are looking for anything special (besides the Face and the S&B).

The 666 dress count boxes are most likely accounted for at this point.....so unless you were on a list somewhere, chances are you won't be able to get a box.

HOWEVER.....and this is what's cool about this years release....if you're just interested in smoking the "cigar", and don't care about the box, another 1300 regular "Tat Halloween" 10 ct boxes will be released later this month. There are some floating around now, b/c they were given to the "Unlucky 13" retailers. Another 130 or so Tat retailers will be receiving their 10 count boxes soon.

There are FAR more Tat Face to go around than there were Dracs, so I don't think you'll have a problem tracking down a 10 ct box or two Brian....at the very least.

thanks for the intel. my buddy still lives in Irving, so hope against hope, we will see...he may be able to pick up a box at lunch, if they are available.

but yeah, to quote Ram "you can't smoke the box!" i just care about the cigars. a box would be cool, but i have a boris box and i am thrilled with it...if nothing else, it gives them a home to sleep in.

thanks for the intel, seriously.

today was warm, but you are right, in a couple of weeks, i have no excuses.

to be honest, the cigars you smoke are better than the ones i smoke, so i am sure i will be happy. truth is, i like new things. my local does not keep up with whatever new cigars are out there, so anything made since it got hot in April, i have yet to try. (and since your tastes are in the top shelf, i KNOW i will be happy!)

I have had very good luck, but I called the first day the list of retailers was released and just asked to be added to waiting lists. I have 2 boxes and a 3 pack lined up. I had a 3rd box offered to me but they wanted $240 shipped which was too high of a mark up (I am sure state taxes came into play, but still too high for me).

Don't give up by any means, B. There will be a decent amount of dress boxes around and quite a few of the plain 10-count boxes ... if you call some B&Ms (or have a bro do it for you), I have little doubt you'll find some.

Of course, you'll be "taxed" two sticks per box in Misawa, lol. j/k
