Graycliff Chateau PG

I would not pay regular retail on this cigar simply because it is not special enough to warrant it. However, the cigar is a solid cigar with a heady prfile of nuts and leather. Good to the nub, just not stellar. Probably would go to 7 or 8 dollars if I saw one for that.

This style is the finest of the Graycliff line and this size is the most affordable. Very smooth, well aged and finely fermented tobacco. Experience is well worth $10 discounted price if you can find it.

One of these came in a COTM and after a few weeks I decided to give it a try. The wrapper was a nice medium shade of brown with some pretty pronounced veins and the stick felt light and soft. The first inch wasn't anything special- woody-peat but the flavor only improved as ahint of spice was indroduced and built until the end. Overall I was skeptical but this burnt well- one touch up and the flavor was exceptional. I can't say these are worth the price but I will probably look to add some to the humi.

First off I will tell you I am newer to cigars and am just starting to sink into the world of them so I am by far no expert. My local cigar shop had these on sale for half price to make room for new shipments and I decided to grab one (being it is a botique brand and at a great price). At first the cigar gave a very intimidating peppery taste that eventually lessoned a bit. I enjoyed this better after the first quarter of it. One thing that rubbed me wrong is that the draw was too easy and it seemed as if the cigar was not rolled tight enough. I would not buy this at full price and most likely would not get it at half price. For the $11 I spent I could get a vintage 90 Rocky Patel that I would have enjoyed a lot better.

I must say, this cigar was a very pleasant experience to have. Right from the get go, just picking it out of the box, I knew this was going to be great. It even suprised me after finishing it. Great looking cigar with nice oils, great construction, a little tooth, and nice little spicy aroma. I punched it, and that was a great choice, great draw from begining to end. Due to the punch, draw was a little tight, but that eased the first inch or two to allow the cigar to start off slowly. Spicy throughout, but more kick the last half of the cigar much like a Siglo VI with just about perfect complexity and balance. This is a stong cigar, but for experienced smokers, this will seem medium bodied with just the right amount of spice to give it strength. I think the blend along with the costa rican wrapper gives this great balance, and go toe to toe with some of the great cubans. I agree with previous reviews that it has hints of floral flavor along with earthy bean type of flavor on the palatte. Really smooth finish, the makes you wonder why all cigars can't taste like this. I highly recommend this cigar to all takers of this fine passion. Can't say enough about this cigar.

The PG is the smaller version of the Presidente.
the construction was well made.Smoking this cigar will relax the sense and make you feel good after a long day at work. drawa well and gives a full smoke. the spicyness is prevailant 1/4 through but there are hints of floral and cream,and other flavors that the cigar has to be smoked to the nub to really enjoy. @ 20 per smoke there are hesitations but then again it's not for the Ordinary.

A shorter version of the presidente,the burn was uneven but evened out half way into it. the spicyness begins around quarter of the way in. there's a strong floral,creamy flavor that makes this a good all around cigar.Smoking it to the nub makes the long work day dissappear. @ $20 a pop one would hesitate but price is never an issue when you want to experience something not ordinary.

I had high expectations for this cigar. Good reviews, the brand name, but as i find again, price doesn't dictate quality. The first 1/2 inch of this was great, but after that i had nothing but problems with an uneven burn that wouldn't go away. What i could cleanly smoke from it was good though, as complex as reviewed. Reminds me of my Excalibur No 1/3/x, great cigars, if they would just damn burn evenly.
If someone buys me another one, i'll give it another chance, but won't go out and buy another myself.
