All dress, intact and sealed.  $250 for Frank.  $200 for Boris.  $200 for Drac.  $175 Face.  $175 for Wolf.

$1000 IMHO.

Sell them now before the mini-monsters come out.

Well, for an honest, non-greedy seller, maybe... but from what I have seen, there is no way to get a dress box of franks for under 400-500.  The price to me, is set at about the higher end of fair market value, FWIW.

I designed the logo and graphics for Jeff's shop, Riverside, in St Louis. He is an honest, stand up guy and would not rip anyone off. And because he is a retailer (one shop only) this is how he has access to these boxes.

Oh and, WGAF.

Anyone smart enough and able to float them until halloween could easily make some money on this (throwing it on eBay). The mini-monsters will not kill the value of these- if anything, they will increase the popularity and exposure of the line. Mark my words.

0% chance you can find a Frank box sealed for $250 nowadays. And because it's the entire collection, sealed, the value is higher than the individual boxes would be worth.

LOL@all the people NGAF (not giving a fuck).

Lisa, so the guy selling these is a retailer ?  That actually seems a little worse to me... he would have already made his money selling them at MSRP which was $169 or whatever per box... but now he is asking for $300 a box ?  Maybe its just me, but it doesn't seem right for a retailer to be jacking the prices up on these.

Going price for a Frank is about $35, so box of 13 is around $400-$450, IMHO...

And I agree with the review.

Brooks, do you think they are past their prime now?

Yes.

Still a very good cigar, but they have lost much of the profile that **I** found appealing in them...They were one of Pete's best ever released when they first came out, IMHO...

[smelvis]

I wish I had been able to test one in it's prime because I sure like them now, I paid $300 for a box and would buy more if they are no longer good just pm me with details :)

Tats and Nic tobacco, in general, seems to not age well or reach its prime much sooner than you would expect. Most aged Tats that I have smoked have about a 3 year period where they are best, then they go downhill after that, and the flavors get muted quickly.  I have found this to be true with the brown labeled Tats especially...don't get me wrong, they are still good after that initial 3 year period, but definitely not as good.

I think that's pretty much the point and the irony. As those Tat's get older they are worthless and it makes me laugh at anyone who is paying the even HIGHER premium. I smoked a T110 2 years after the release, full nasal...it was weaksauce. To me that said everything I needed to know about aging potential of NC's and having anything besides CC's. That and I find regular production CC's easily blowing HTF/Limited NC's out of the water.
