Pulled the Graycliff out of my humidor after 9 months of aging. I started with a pair, having smoked the first one last November to an odd-flavored start, which I recall had recovered nearly an inch into it. No issues like that this time around. A beautiful looking stick here. A clip and a toast, and we're off.
The draw is firm, and the taste is grassy.
In the 2nd third, I pick up dry leaves. My mouth is a bit dry, so I continue to trade off between puffs of the Professionale and sips of my red wine. I see what they did here (nod to Avelino Lara) - this cigar could easily be mistaken for a Cuban.
Final third was very good. Hard to put down, really. The cigar did require a relight with about an inch and a half to go, and it struggled to get relit. The last inch or so is hit or miss with me when I smoke. Sometimes a great cigar goes bitter near the end, and other times it just wow's me. This was closer to the latter. I enjoyed it down till my fingers were burning.
The price of these make it tough to consider buying a box, but when purchased in sampler packs, these can really be worth the cost.
