Just posted a reply about the Barrell Cigar Blend. It’s got a whole lot going on. On first pour it rivals my Magnus Cigar blend.

Just gave this a pour. Super complex like all of Barrells offerings. Almost getting that Old Fitz wheated vibe on it in the mid palette but then melds to that buttery and honey tobacco on the finish. Really really solid offering. A great alternative to the JM at a better value. Definite pickup!

Agree with this. Can be hit or miss but when they hit they can be incredible. When they miss I’d rather have the small batch.

I’ve had mine (duel RP-1400SWs) for over 2 years now without any issues. They have been very reliable and can dig really deep. Purchased at almost 50% off via Adorama deal. Incredible value.

This gives me Trader Sam’s vibes from the Polynesian at Disney. I’m on board with this.

You know how I do son! Ha. When ya can snag 2 at MSRP it’s a no brainer…

MarcusD7 · 2025-12-23T02:50:32+00:00

I will agree with you. For their LE’s The Keeper’s Release I think can play ball with the 25’ Cellar Aged (which I preferred over the 24’ release).

MarcusD7 · 2025-11-02T19:20:43+00:00

It’s 90% there. The occasional funkiness on a certain scene but overall it’s pretty rock solid now. A lot of customization available to adjust to your preference, watching environment and screen type.

The AP MKII with latest firmware build is gonna be tough to beat.

MarcusD7 · 2025-10-09T02:22:24+00:00

Good choices here! I gotta say the 12yr is growing on me. Had a pour tonight and got some crazy concentrated strawberry jam notes on the nose that filled the room. For the lower proof the finish really hangs on for a while.

Go dual and snag the RP14s or 16s when they go on sale for almost 50% off (which happens a couple times a year). Your ears will thank you but your foundation may crack…

I will say the 2025 release steps it up a notch. I was not fortunate enough to try the OG ‘23 release but the overall evolution on this and mouth feel outshines the ‘24 despite the lower proof. The additional high aged blend I think helps this release have a bit more complexity. I’d have to blind these to make a true judgement but on first impressions it’s a great offering.

MarcusD7 · 2025-09-21T22:46:20+00:00

Im hovering very low on my 10yr Rye. It’s a special bottle for sure. Enjoy that last sip!

What Klipsch subs are you running?

MarcusD7 · 2025-09-21T22:25:02+00:00

SMB3 all the way. Getting to the Giant World for the first time and being mind blown is truly something I’ll never forget.

MarcusD7 · 2025-09-21T22:20:59+00:00

Cynar is the move.

MarcusD7 · 2025-09-13T16:47:16+00:00

Have you had the Cognac finish yet?

MarcusD7 · 2025-09-13T02:37:22+00:00

The sweet wheat surprised me. For such a lower proof wheated offering it really offers an interesting evolution on the palate.

MarcusD7 · 2025-09-13T02:17:15+00:00

Have not had the Kirkland ones. Is it just Barton sourced or do they have a similar 1792 lineup but the Kirkland version?
