Review Notes: Just finished up watching the grandkids for the last 4 days, and I've really been looking forward to trying the first of five of these that I bought recently. Bad choice! It has been a while since I dreaded the next puff of a stick. My dilemma now is what to do with the other four...

Review Notes: A great hardy smoke with excellent burn, draw and aroma.. Smoked it down to my burning fingers it was so tasty.. Will buy again if the price is right. It's a keeper

Review Notes: Although I would never buy these by the box, let alone as a bundle or even a five pack, you can occasionally find a couple reasonably priced in samplers. I've had four and all were good smokes. The draw was great and the burn was almost flawless. Flavor was deep and earthy with complex notes of mocha and chocolate. I've smoked most of them down to the nub, but one got rather harsh in the last third. Although the wrapper is nearly black, the body of this cigar is definitely medium. If you can find a few in a sampler go ahead and give them a go.

Review Notes: I received this ciagr in a premium sampler along with a 64 Padron, Artutro Fuentes Hemmingway, among others. This cigar was poorly constructed, had an uneven burn, and smoked way too hot for my liking. The flavor was pedestrian and overall, it was a mediocre smoke at best.

Review Notes: That being said, there is no way in hell this thing is worth twenty bucks. Luckily, I stopped in a B&M where they had Graycliffs half off (for whatever reason, I have no idea). The construction was perfect and the draw was just right, with a completely even burn the whole way through. ASHMAN had it pretty much right, although I only got the cedar and soap part with just a hint of metal. i didn't get much pepper on this end. I thought that this was a great cigar with a smooth body that had a nice flavor the whole way through, which I feared might turn charry/ashy at the end but did not. It also had a short finish which I like as I am not a fan of tasting a cigar that I had six hours ago. At the price that I paid, it can't be beat. At retail, it certainly can, so I will rate value on the retail side. If you can find one, you may as well try it. Life's short, take a chance.
