Graycliff Cigars. Anyone had them?

[BUCASmoker]

Looks like they are going for quite a bit on CigarBid. I've never even heard of them, let alone had them. never seen them in any B&M.

Are they any good, or just overpriced?

I really like the Professional (blue) series, consistently a great smoke. Lots of folks around here like the Espresso (black) series - I've only had one but didn't like it quite as much. Will have to try another. I think some people also like the white (crystal??) series but I haven't had one of those. Purple is new and I haven't noticed too many opinions on them. I also like the original (Red) series pretty well but it seems that no one ever chooses them as their favorite...

I really gotta learn to search more

ps - just like with any other expensive (super premium or whatever you want to call them) cigars, you can probably find them cheaper elsewhere - cbid is only really good for less well known (or less sought after) cigars so there aren't too many bidders raising the price...

Heh no problem...Ya' ...searching is by far faster than asking..especially if it was already asked.

I actually tried my first Red Graycliff this past Sunday. To be honest, I was not all that impressed with it. The flavor was rather ordinary for most of the cigar...not something that I was expecting from a $20 (retail) cigar. During the first third, however, there was a nice and smooth creaminess to it, but it soon diminished after that. I hope the other Graycliffs are a bit better.

http://gstreetcigar.com has them off of Newbury St. Never had one either, but 95% sure he has them in stock.

I'm far from an "expert" Dave, just tried most of them...thanks for the thought though

My personal preferences:

Expresso: Medium bodied, rich, complex smoke. A

Grand Chu: Medium bodied, more straightforward in flavor, good cigar. B

Crystal: Like the Tacos for a short smoke, but pretty mild for my taste. C+

The rest (red, blue, etc)....good flavor, but extremely mild....I won't give my opinion on a grade because they're just not my personal cup of tea.

Where do you get them? Are they cheaper than whats on CBid? They're about 10-12 each on CBid, which is one of the pricier cigars on there.

If you want one or two to sample. (And yeah, they're pricey.)

yes OVERPRICED but a nice morning smoke IMO. I enjoy both the RED and Blue labels but not a fan of the others. Their roller/blender was originally with COHIBA and the factory is among their resort. Bad thing is even at the resort the prices are still what we pay here. My B&M carries them and i'll occasionally purchase 1.
