I've picked up a dozen or so off Cbid over the last several months, and have smoked about half of them already. Medium bodies, smooth, has the Graycliff Professional taste profile. These have all smoked dead on FINE for me, with only minimal humi time to stabilize the humidity from the shipping. I haven't tried aging them, as they should already be aged from 1999 as per the advertising (assuming you can believe everything CB claims!). I will tell you that these have smoked excellent for me almost straight out of the shipping box.

I'm guessing this is probably because they ARE the Graycliff Professionals, only aged.

Yes, I know that; but assume that not everyone else does, since many here do not smoke Graycliffs on a regular basis. They do not seem to get as many reviews as other brands (probably due to the price at most B&M's.)

I actually probably should have continued the line of thought to include that I find them to have the same flavor profile as more current rolled professionals, but that I find them to be noticeably smoother than new stock. Lets hear it for aging!

Thanks for the info,I am looking foward to trying them as i have never tried any of the Graycliff line..

Heh! I figured you well knew they were the same cigar. I was just being a smartass. I don't smoke many of 'em but keep a few around for variety. IMO, the Graycliffs aren't bad at all but are perhaps overpriced.
