Picking up a 10-pack of these for $59 was one of the best deals offered by Cigar.com to date. These normally sell for $15+ a piece. Getting them for south of $6 a stick was a true steal and it’s no wonder they sold out so quickly.
There has always been a mystique that surrounds the Graycliff cigars. They’re we’re founded by the owner, Enrico Garzaroli, of the grand Graycliff Hotel in Nassau, Bahamas. Enrico hired well-known cigar legend Cuban Avelino Lara to create Graycliff’s ultra primo, limited run cigars.
This was my first Graycliff and it did not disappoint. The wrapper was dark and think. The band was as gold as any band I’ve ever seen on a cigar. The construction was very good and differed slightly from any
other cigar I’ve smoked. The great band did have a bit of vegetable gum traces from its application. In fact all 10 cigars had this rustic touch. No affect to the flavor of course.
The cigar had great draw, burned nicely, and left a nice firm almost reddish ash. This medium bodied cigar had cinnamon and Cocoa flavors. No real spice, just a nice, mature smoke.
Overall, this was a great cigar and for the price paid, it’s an amazing smoke.

I second this review. These are impeccable cigars with great draw and burn. Good flavor. They stop just short of perfection. I would rate them an 8.5. I would rate the deal a 9.0, given the steep discount. Kudos to cigar.com.
