Anyone else notice a taste difference between the Anthropolgy (5.75 x 46) and the Mode 5 (5 x 50) perfecto? The mode 5 is one my favorites and I find that the Anthropology is just kind of so-so. Think I read somewhere that the Mode 5 has a darker wrapper. Not sure if that is true. Any ideas why such a dramatic difference in flavors? :-)

Rob, I find it exactly the opposite. The Anthropology has a ton of favor, whereas the Mode 5 is kind of just ok. Just goes to show, different tastes on everyone's palette. No idea on the difference, other than the size of the sticks. Perfecto versus corona gorda. :-)

My experience is similar to mac's. I live the anthropology but have not really enjoyed the mode 5. Weird.

I have found that the Aquitaine has more "maduro" and pepper qualities going on than the Mode 5. I think the Mode 5 has a little less strength and you notice the savory (or whatever you want to call it) quality of the filler tobaccos that they use a little more too. I enjoy both, but do find them to be different smoking experiences. That's my :-) anyway

Anyone know of an online location that I could pick a couple of each up?? Never had them before. Local B&M stopped carrying when I tried too find them. Said no one bought.

In my post above I said Aquitaine but meant to say Anthropology.
