Looks like this is the new box for the next Monster Series. I have yet to try a Tatuaje Frank, but I will be damn sure to get a box of The Drac. I'll see if I can beat Klipsch to the punch.

I'm sure it comes out October 31st but people seem to have been able to get there's a few days earlier. It's good to know people.

Is there any news about the Frank Undressed?

Tatuaje cigars on facebook is questioning whether or not they are going to get these out on time for halloween. Pete Johnson is also making comments he is busting his ass to make sure they do. Sounds like an attempt to hype em up a bit more. Hopefully he sends them out to more than just 13 retailers. Maybe 31 this time, who knows.

Definitely interested in picking up a box of these, any idea what the expected price will be? Same as the Franks?

I was at Corona Cigars yesterday and Alex told me they will be getting them in a few days before Halloween. This is straight from Pete he told me.
I still have a few Franks from last year.

Same price as the franks. Did a little researching. Saw this:
As dinner comes to a close and we are debating lighting up the Drac, Pete dissappears into the drying room again to retrieve another Black Torpedo and Drac for himself (his Drac was handed out during dinner as well - to Colin from ECCJ). He returns with two more cigars for each of us - the upcoming Verocu tubo and a Frank Undressed and the remaining bundle of Dracs. "For this evening". Shaking our heads, we now realize that we have all of the new cigars. (Black Tubo, Verocu Tubo, Drac, Frank Undressed - and smoked La Verite earlier) I borrow Pete's extra Black Tubo and line the four up for a quick photo.
The Frank Undressed is the same cigar with another wrapper? Well, that makes it an entirely different cigar yet again. The blend comes through even more without the broadleaf wrapper from the original Frank released last year. This one is just as special. We saw the white boxes that will house 10 of these sticks while at the trade show in New Orleans. We all agree that it is incredible and that we are incredibly lucky to have a chance to smoke it here at it's source.
Looks like The Drac is a Belicoso style, there will be a Tatuaje Black Torpedo and The Frank Undressed. Cool stuff.

I read the same blog on NHC, and read another review as well. Very favorable, though the other guy liked the new Black tubo more than the Drac.
I'm hoping to split a box of Drac with someone, but the first problem is finding out where they will be available, then finding someone near there to do a split. With a lot of luck it will be near me and I can be the pick-up boy for people, lol.

Pete is probably going to limit the number of boxes again to 666 and to only 13 retailers. When he first talked about the Monster series, that was his goal for each year's release. He usually will announce the retailers on his site in late September and the boxes go out in October. Last year, the retailer here in DFW had them all sold before they ever got to the location. I highly doubt that any of last years' retailers will be getting the Drac this year, but you never know.
