Graycliff Profesionale presidente Review

[travclem]

Today I decided I'd light this badboy up. I recieved it in a sampler a long time ago and found it when I was digging through the cooler this morning.

This is one of the most beautifully crafted and well made cigars I have ever smoked. The prelight aroma was awsome, Unfortunately this is where my praise for this cigar ends. As soon as I cut the cap I checked the draw and it was extremely loose. this cigar lit very quickly but the only flavor I could pick up was newspaper that had been slept on by a hobo for a week straight, this continued throughout the first third.

Enter the second third:
All I could get out of this part of the stick was the unmistakable flavor of chocolate jello pudding packs... I guess this wouldn't be so bad if you like Chocolate pudding.

Final third:
The pudding pack flavor has somewhat settled down but it is still very detectable. It is slowly being taken over by grass clippings and what I'll call essence of the feed lot. (If you've ever worked at a feed lot you know what I mean.)

Final thoughts:
Despite being eyecandy this cigar was very dissapointing. Maybe there is just something wrong with my taster today but I was not impressed at all. I would suggest using the 17-20 dollars that these things cost and buying a couple of RP summer collections (while they last). If I get a chance to try another one I will but I'll have to find them on sale or something first.

Have a good one,
Travis

I also enjoy these smokes but I've never gotten 'pudding pack' flavors out of them that you experienced.

At least they'll make great gifts.
