Bought a 5ver of these a while back and have been letting them rest. First one was this weekend and not really impressed. Looked and smelled great but draw was loose and burn was awful (total flowering from the get go). Flavors just kind of meh. So not a good start. 2nd from the batch was last night and totally different. Great flavor and no burn issues or flowering at all. So I am hoping that 1st one was just a dud. Three more to go...
I've got a couple of these in the humidor. I can't wait to try one. I do wonder how these compare to the Barclays Rex. I've got one of those hiding in the humi too.

Jason, don't do that to yourself. They're both excellent cigars, leave it at that. By comparing them, you'll just end up hating them both for being so awesome.

lol No, I was just wondering if they were similar in flavor profile or if they were like night and day.
It was a one time release for the 100th anniversary of a b&m. I worked a trade for a couple. Gave one to a buddy of mine and still have the other. I've heard its damn good.
Yea, but I'm glad I at least have one to try. Like I said, I had two, but gave one to my local smoking buddy. We always try to hook each other up when we get something rare. He is the one who gave me my Anarchys.

To me they are both different, way different cigars. I enjoyed the rex more, like I said in my review or mini review I did of it, it was the strongest cigar I had ever had but it also had a good deal of flavor. I wish I picked up a box or two of them when they were released. I have been able to score a few from trades but not enough sadly to smoke them often.

Awesome man. I'm excited about both of them, just hate to burn the Rex because it does seem to be a more rare smoke.

lol... for the sake of our sanity I hope you don't like it. That way it's no big deal if you can't find any more. In a lot of ways I wish I didn't like it.

I know what you mean, Tony got me hooked on the damn Arc Bradley Pryme and they haven't made those for several years now! I lucked out and found a box with 8 left in it last year at my b&m and split them with a buddy of mine. I have 2 left and just can't bring myself to smoke them. I even talked with the VP of Alec Bradley and he said he hasn't even seen any in 3 years or so.
I would like to have these 2 or 3 years from now. I Have a stash put away for just that. Truth is, I have so many cigars 2 years is easy, as I don't smoke everyday and I have more sticks that I have aging than cigars that are smokable. If that makes sense. I tend to buy and leave, not sure why maybe it's because I'm cheap and don't want to buy boxes of expensive smokes....
I think it's a squirrel thing... hording nuts... hording cigars.
