A tale of two smokes

[moki]

I went out to give my lawn a final cut this weekend before my trip to CA tomorrow... brought along with me a Graycliff Espresso Shagfoot Piramide to smoke.

The Espresso line was created to be a strong cigar; when Graycliff "dumbed down" the strength on their Crystal line a few years ago, some of their customers complained. The Espresso is a response to that, and it's a very unique blend, probably the only Graycliff blend that I personally consider worth the expense for an occasional smoke.

If you like the unfettered bitter-sweetness of a quality cup of coffee, or 70%+ Cacao chocolate, this cigar is probably something you will enjoy. It's definitely a full bodied cigar, but in terms of flavor, not harshness.

The other smoke? The old John Deer tractor that came with my new house sputtered a bit halfway through mowing the low, then fire spat out of the engine compartment, and white smoke billowed out like a distress signal.

The tractor's still on the lawn; the cigar butt is in the trash. Oh well, at least one of the smokes was good.

lol, thanks for the review on the Deere Moki

The Graycliff sounds tastey, I've heard that a couple of times now. I haven't had anything from Graycliff yet that I would pay for, but I probably need to try this one.

Nothin' smokes like a Deere

I've smoked a Ford (pulling a stump), but never a Deere. I'll have to add that to my "want to try" list.

I just got back from a trip to Meridian, Idaho. Out toward Nampa there is the officially sponsered John Deere Lane. Gotta give it them farmers...

I think the final resting places of those two smokes should be switched up

John Deere is good hardware, but Moki, somehow, I can see you on one of these bad boys:

My John Deere never fails me

Just look for the Green wrapper.

Andrew reviews a Grey Cliff and all you people want to talk about are John Deere tractors. What a travesty.

I love those Grey Cliff Espressos - especially the PGs. The Professional (Blue Band) line isn't too bad but those Espressos are damn tasty.

Since I was away on business last week, the tractor is still sitting there. They are going to flatbed it tomorrow. Sigh.

any cigar with a black label is okay by me, I smoked one of these a few months back and it was aweseome. Lucky for us in Vegas we can't have grass, so when I mow my rocks I smoke whatever I grab out the humidor.
