Not out yet...MIGHT be arriving today, MIGHT be early next week. They were supposed to arrive at the store last Friday, but Tatuaje didn't even get them in until this week, so there wasn't a solid date on when Barclay was actually going to be receiving them.

I'm probably gonna get my 5er from the GB Brutus set up right before I leave for SC, so mine will rest 2 weeks before I try one and let 4 rest until they get a few years on em

Oh, and we will have a review on Monday :)

Hoping it is good, but I find it hard to believe they will be better then the Pork Tenderloin... **Shrug**

We will see!

I called this morning and the guy I talked to said they would start calling people on the list Monday and they would ship the same day. I hope these really are a slightly bigger version of the Pork Tenderloin.

Barclay Rex exclusive. Here's a link to a GB that was organized (since filled). The first post has their phone number. I don't know if you'll be able to get on the list at this point, but it may be worth a shot.:sh

Me too... don't worry bro, I just got off the phone with them and he said they are in the process of shipping them all out today or tomorrow. I said I just wanted to confirm because some people are getting calls that their boxes are being shipped and he said 90% of the people have NOT received calls.

Dunkel
11-09-2010, 03:26 PM
I called about a half hour ago and was told to call back tomorrow. The only information I was asked for to get on the list was my name and phone number. I was told Saturday that I'd get a call on Monday. Seems like the runaround to me. Funny how hard I have to try to give someone my money! LOL

AlohaStyle
11-09-2010, 03:47 PM
Oh... that's a little different then as I already gave my credit card info awhile back.

Did you call the other 2 Barclay Rex shops? They have boxes too and are doing their own shipping...

HollywoodQue

Yes they have, a box is running $250, but the guy at Barclay sold me a 5fer for $65.00

Here is the number: 212-809-4421

I should have them in by Friday...I will try to do my first review.

The guys there were very helpful and returned my call very quickly. Also, he said that there will be only 200 boxes produced and sold, so they will be moving quickly.

11-09-2010, 06:13 PM
I couldnt agree more with Brooks review I picked up a box today and had to spark one up right away as soon as I got into the car. The peper hits hard at first and then settled down and all the sweetness came out. The only bad thing I can say about the cigar is the closed foot. The dam pieces when you light them seem to fall off and burned my sweater but that is the only complant. If you can swing a box do it they are only going to get better and there will be much talk about these in years to come.

Good to hear that withone has tried it already...so is the price worth it? I am thinking about a box before they are gone.

11-09-2010, 06:20 PM
The price is more than worth it the quiality of the one I smoked was great and i think will get so much better as they just hit NY in the last few days from California and from what I was reading Pete just got them so I am sure they are a bit stressed out with all the travel time.

Seems like a pretty sweet deal for these shops that get limited releases from Pete Johnson. Of course I don’t profess to know much about the business of running a shop, but I would assume that it is not to norm to get X number of phone calls from all over the country to purchase 200 boxes of cigars from your shop in a few weeks(days?).

I understand someone like Holts or CI doing A LOT of online and phone biz…. But I had never heard of Gloucester Street Cigars, Barclay Rex or Centro(where I bought my box of “the Face”), before trying to acquire these sticks….. Don’t know the exact shop in Hawaii that had the T110’s….but was able to get in on a split with that as well…. These shops get a nice sales bump and then, depending on your experience with them, maybe a repeat customer.

I know that there has appeared to be some gouging on the Monster release stuff from a few shops, but it appears that the T110, Pork Tenderloin and Barclay Rex releases have gone smoothly????

Anyway, I think it is kind of neat for whatever reason. Develop a possible relationship with a shop(know this is not important with some, but depending on where you live, it may be VERY important), get a nice cigar to try, shops get a small cash influx....everyone wins.

AlohaStyle
11-10-2010, 02:27 PM
Yeah, Pete likes to do fun projects at the same time as giving a reward of some sorts to his loyal clients/B&M's. Some people are sick of Pete doing LE's, but so many clients come up with ideas and beg Pete to do these... I think it's fun for Pete to work with his clients to come up with new ideas and let's face it, the results are usually great cigars.

I laugh when people get pissed and call him Pete Patel and the like... Rocky/Gurkha throws out **** cigars just to get more products out there (with exceptions)... Pete puts out quality product because Pepin would not allow it otherwise.

Think about it, would you want to do the same thing over and over in your job? Hell no. Doing new things keeps it interesting for Pete as well as keeping your name out in the public attracting new customers.

Really? The Face that I smoked (http://www.thecigarnut.com/tatuaje-monster-series-3-the-face/#more-3261) was not only sweet, but barely had any of the "Tat Spice" that I'm used to. I've got 4 others and I'll have another few chances to see if they smoke different -(P

I thought the Face has some spice but I didn't find it to be overpowering in the least. Looking forward to torching a Barclay. Tried my first Outlaw Tat this weekend and I absolutely hated it. By far the worst Tat I have ever smoked. I tried to muscle my way through it to see if it improved but at the halfway point I said fug it and put it down.
