So this is my first ever Graycliff, gifted to me by the Bat_Chief.
I finally smoked it after my Opus debacle.
It was fairly soft, and smooth. I punched it and there was the slightest tear at the head.
Draw was very very loose. Plenty of smoke.
It definitely had a pre-light taste to it. Sort of a combination of rabpberries, bat guano, Lapsong Sauchong tea, and horse urine. If you think that last sentence was a joke, you're right. It had a unique flavor. That's all I can say.
Once it was lit like I said there was plenty of smoke. The cigar is very mild. Can't say much else. It's not a very remarkable cigar at all. It has its own character, and I kept trying to find something to set it apart. But I really can't see what all the hype is about. It's a decent cigar. Not great.
Once the cigar got to be under 2 1/2 inches the smoke got really, really hot. Due to the loose draw the smoke wasn't getting cooled much at all. SO I started waiting linger between puffs and it was OK.
I want to give the Emeralds (candela wrapper) a try but I think these are your typical overpriced cigars. I'm willing to bet it's cause they're made in the Bahamas and not the D.R. or some other country where you can roll the tobacco for cheaper.
