Graycliff Grand Dame

I am usually a robusto smoker and in my opinion a Greycliff Double Espresso is one of the best current production cigars in the world. I picked up 3 of these and I am very impressed, excelent construction, great draw smoked cool, very rich, complex, smooth and medium bodied. Most of all, undeniably a Graycliff!

As far as a quick cigar goes, this is one of my favorites without a doubt. Good appearance, excellent construction and a terrific taste. The draw was perfect and the burn was razor sharp until the last third when it developed a runner, but then it self-corrected. Flavor-wise, as the previous reviewers have noted, it is one of sweet cream with some spice to it. The body is mild/medium and the taste remains pretty consistent until the end. At that point it gets pretty hot, so you really have to lay off between puffs. If it weren't for the high price, you'd be hard pressed to find a better small cigar.

Picked these up months ago on a special online. I let them sit for a few months. Tasted exceptionally complex for such a small package. Wasn't expecting much but was blown away. Reminded me of a Trinidad becuase of the size and punch.

Burn issue at the halfway point. As if the filler was crimped. It was a burn issue I've never experienced before.

This was a nice little suprise. Graycliff all the way through though. Top of line construction and perfect burn as expected for the great cigar maker. The flavor was complex and smooth, sweet creamy tobacco flavors. A very nice short smoke.

Nice looking, a little springy, not tightly rolled. Nice even draw, ash was firm and light grey, burn was sharp and even. I really liked the creamy sweet taste of this cigar.

Sweet tobacco flavor, consistent all the way. Loose draw, but smoked like I was burning a pile of tires!!!

True to Graycliff form, this is a very high quality smoke...tight construction, even slow burn, with mild, complex flavor. Only drawback to Graycliff's is price, with so many good alternatives costing 25-50% less. If you're looking for a small cigar tho, definitely give this one a try.

nice day cigar
