Review Notes: Guys, you shouldn't review the 1666 Line in the regular Graycliff spot. Contact the site Admin. when you need a new line added. I just did that for the Graycliff 1666, help me follow up. These are two completely different lines. It messes up the total rating and leds potential buyers astray which is a big reason fo these reviews. Anyway, enough bitchin, the regular Graycliff Pirate is much better than any of the 1666 cigars. It's nutty and fairly mild with a nice look and construction. It may not be among the best, but it's a solid cigar, though usually a little overpriced. This stick was in the humidor about 5 months. I'll let the rest age for another few months and review these again.

Review Notes: this review is for 1666 pirate. There must be various versions of this cigar based on the reviews. mine were terrible. approximately like hate Samplers' review. Wrapper was dyed. Let some of them age for quite months. no improvement.

Review Notes: I bought one of these in a sampler pack and it sat in the humidor for about 3 months. The first half was very mild, too mild in fact, though it tasted very good. The second half started to get richer in flavor, and the end of it was quite nice and strong. Overall, the flavor was mellow, with hints of coffee and dark chocolate. The draw was very loose at the beginning, but it was just right during the last half. I smoked it down to less than an inch, and it tasted great all the way to the end. All in all, an excellent smoke that I will definitely have again.

Review Notes: I have smoked 8 of these nasty little gars....I had gotten them in a torp sampler along with 4 other average blends from other manufacturers....bottom line is I believe the wrapper is dyed due to the brown color on the exterior of the ash and the flavor is horrid......Not sure if the distributor was tricked or I was...either way I am glad I only paid about 1.75 a piece for these things from the devils site.....STAY AWAY FROM 1666 Pirate....Nasty.....as an aside the other 4 in the sampler are very nice some even exceptional so don't let this little stinker steer you away from the Tip Top sampler... BY the way the construction was terrible....loose draw tight draw burns hot burns out....no consistency what so ever....worste experience I have ever had.....I gave this thing 8 trys over two weeks so its not that I didn't give it a fair shake....

Review Notes: The Graycliff 1666 Pirate is one of those cigars that newbies (not a shot, just a description) often "step up" to. After fumbling away with "too good to be true" deals on dog rockets (do you know why they call them this, I do, cool story)...they eventually buy a Graycliff 1666, often in a sample pack from "that site." It is a noble attempt and one could do much much worse. I would not categorize this cigar as exceptional, but I will say it is a giant step up from 90% of the cigars that can be found in similar deals on the internets. A nice, fairly complex smoke, that changes from 1st to 2nd to final third. Creamy delicious plumes, with hints of cedar, fudge, spice, and nutmeg. It's Bahamian roots add another level of mystery. Not the prettiest cigar in your humi most likely, but one that seems to always deliver with pleasurable consistency. I have smoked perhaps 10 of these, and believe that if found "on sale" or "in a sampler" it is a deal in and of itself. I feel this gar has an almost beachy quality to it, it is somewhat aloof, whimsical, but will always come through when others fail. Pairs well with mellow beers, iced coffee (if that is your thing), water, diet coke, and just maybe a baileys on ice. Enjoy this newbies, you will realize that few cigars at twice the the cost will deliver with such purity.
