I highly doubt that any of last years' retailers will be getting the Drac this year, but you never know.
This is all true...
Having said that, the release is about double what the Frank was (frank was 666 boxes, the Drac will be about 1300) and while 13 retailers will get the VAST majority of the boxes, Pete is sending a few boxes to most of the retailers who sell Tats, to spread the love around...

Pete had this to say a couple of months ago....
"The "Drac" wrapper is Habano Oscuro or Maduro........Similar wrapper color to the Cojonu 2009.
The 13 stores picked will get a larger allocation but every store in the top 130 or so will get at least a few boxes. The messed up part is I am putting the spooky tickets inside the bundles. So, I am guessing there will not be any sealed boxes out there unless the tickets are found early.
Not this year....total of 1300 boxes....Plus the 650 boxes of the Frank out of costume.......name was going to be Boris but I need to clear it with a friend who has the name already maybe just B.K.
IŽm giving away one Ducati Monster 696 with the Spooky Tickets. Yes, Golden Tickets like Willy Wonka....1 winner 13 tickets.....hidden somewhere in the 1950 boxes....1300 Dracs and 650 B.K.
Frank out of costume.....Boris Karloff. No box press and about a half inch shorter......and a possibly a different wrapper. Maybe IŽll keep the same wrapper....DonŽt know!"

Dracs $13/each only available in boxes of 13 (October 31st)
Black Tubos $14/each in boxes of 10 (November sometime)
Verocu Tubos $11/each in boxes of 10 (same as Black Tubos)
I'd REALLY love 2 boxes of each, but I know I can't swing that, lol.

"Can't talk about the legal thing but I can tell you that I am releasing the list for the Drac and Boris(frank out of costume) on October 13th. I will be doing a few events on the east coast this month and next. "

If people are really interested in getting some when I find out how many boxes they are getting I will see if he'll let me get more than 1. If he does I will either sell by the box if you want or break it up.
He still can't tell me how much a box will be or when exactly they will be receiving them, but he did say they got the Franks last year and they expect to get the Dracs this year.
