I picked up a 5er of Barcley Rex from a fellow BOTL. I noticed there was some gold glitter on most of them and one had more than the rest. I would suspect that the person banding them got gold ink from the bands on their hands while banding them, but who knows..... This glittery cigar also had a small crack in the wrapper at the foot, so this was the one that got smoked tonight. It was a pretty tight draw but I passed that off as just being a cigar smoked ROTT. I then noticed a stem so I pulled it and the cigar went from hit to shit just like that, had to pitch it and probably should have left the stem in, but it had a funky taste at the time I pulled it.
I know this is a great cigar as it definitey had that "big brother of the Pork Tenderloin" taste to it. Hopefully the second one will be better.
