Graycliff Vintage 99 Robusto

This is a very nicelly constructed cigar. Smooth wrapper and the initial smell showed this is probably a medium strength smoke, could not pick up any spice notes from smelling the foot

The cut was easy and lighting was very smooth as well. The first few puffs were solid medium strength with a unique flavor that I can't quite put my finger on. The ash is grey and held on nicelly

This one had a unique flavor maybe almondy. For some reason I was thinking about how his cigar would feel at a warm evening in the Bahamas as that is where the cigar is made and maybe that had to do something with notes of that ocean in the air at night feeling. Flavor did not change throughout the cigar, but it was very solid without note of harshness.

I heard that Graycliff are strong cigars but this one was very much on the medium side I wonder how it will compare with the other versions in the line. I have a Red Label and was gifted Mike Ditka XX version, so those reviews and comparisons are to come in a bit.

I always love a review with pics. Nice one by the way, short and to the point.

Worth the $$ in your opinion Dan? These are pretty expensive at my local b/m.

I think these are a bit less $$ than the other lines from Graycliff. CI Internatonal also carries them. I think the other cigars in the Graycliff line are more flavorfull. Your best bet is try it when the spring pass comes your way, there is one of them in there :smiley2:
