Graycliff G2 Maduro 5.2 x 50.
MSRP $10. About $5 online.
Puffy price: $2.34, delivered.

A medium Nicaraguan stick with Dominican/Nicaraguan long-fillers, Nicaraguan binder, and a Pennsylvania Broadleaf maduro wrapper.

My first one of these. It's a relatively smooth stick, with a bit of spice - and sort of creamy with maybe a very faint cocoa. I admit that I smoked this one right off of the truck, but it burned perfectly.

Puffy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

In other news, I lit the brush pile, just before it started raining AGAIN ! I'm such a responsible citizen. The fire department would be proud of me, don't you think ?
