Graycliff from CI

[BTcigars]

Hi. So the other day I got a few cigars from CI. I was really excited about the Graycliff's but then I noticed what was on the wrapper. I'm not sure what it is (dosent seem like mold) so look at the pics and tell me what you think. Thanks!

Sunspots, not mold. Looks like inspector # 11 was out sick that day

Ah you went with the Graycliffs eh?

That was the buy the 2 Soprano's and get the 5 pack "free" correct?

The way they priced the 5 packs are so misleading. They value some of the Graycliffs at "$100.00" when you can pick em up for around $2.00 each. I also don't like how they say the 5 pack is "free", when its figured into the price of the 2 Soprano's.

I would go with the Padilla 1932, Padilla Miami or Series JJ Maduro. Possibly Decade.

Let us know how you like the 1666 though. Some people enjoy them, a lot don't.

They are not the 1666 FYI but I didn't enjoy either.

Haha, my bad. Didn't bother to maximize the images. Is the blue Professional or whatever?

I'd like to try the Gran Cru and the Espresso. Only 2 I heard that are worthwhile, but they are pricey.

+1 on sunspots. Sunspots are created when a droplet of water remains stationary on a leaf long enough that the sunlight hitting the plant is prismed through the water like a magnifying glass & burns the leaf where it was sitting.

Should be easy to tell. If you can wipe the spots off, they are mold.

Either way, if you're not happy with them CI will replace them.

Call customer service, and I bet they'll replace them free of charge. That's been my experience with CI, outstanding service!

I had three of those blue's and enjoyed them quite a bit. Very even and mild, nothing too spectacular.
So when I saw a ten pack of Crystals for $70 I went for it seeing as how they're usually much more than that. Haven't tried one yet.
