Graycliff Crystal PG

[other1]

I'm enjoying this right now with a nice glass of port.

I've been wanting to try a Graycliff for a while but couldn't bring myself to lay down $20 for a smoke. I received one (two actually) from a kind BOTL in a trade so I was able to enjoy one with a clean conscious.

It's a nice smoke. Nice construction, nice draw and fairly even burn. Nice tobbacoey taste. Smoke feels creamy on my tongue. A little nutty I guess I would call the flavor. A tiny bit of spice, but not too much.

All in all its an enjoyable smoke. Would I buy a bunch? No. Would I suggest trying one? Sure, why not? If you are into mild to medium cigars this could be a good special occasion smoke. If you like more powerful and flavorful smokes I can't see doing more than trying it.

I'm w/ you. Good smoke, yes. Good enough that I'd pay the asking price? Not a snowballs chance in Moki's butt.

Ack! Are you telling me the cigar he sent me was in his butt?! :0

See, that's what a lot of people don't realize:

Moki is so generous w/ his cigars because he is doing a little "experimenting" w/ cigar flavoring. Once he figures out what to eat to get the "right" taste on the cigars, he's going to market them at a hugely inflated price.

There's a rumor that he was talking w/ Carlito about this new and very unique technique, but I can't confirm that.

That about sums it up for me as well. Nice smoke, nothing too remarkable about it, not worth the cost. The Espressos, on the other hand, are quite interesting...
