I had one of these bad boys last week.
The wrapper held nicely.
The flavor was nice and smooth
The draw and burn were both consistent and I didn't want to put it down.
It was way too strong for me. I enjoyed the cigar a lot but two hours later I was throwing up. I swear that cigar got me high.
Anyone have experience with the 1666 by Graycliff?
Aside from the shock to my system, I enjoyed the cigar very much. Maybe too much?
Doesn't sound very enjoyable.Quote:

I've never had a Graycliff 1666, I do believe it's a full bodied or med-full cigar. Maybe you should look for something more mild?
I think I'll have one of these for a breakfast smoke today.....yummy. I think I'll leave out the puking part.
Why, isn't that part of the experience?:smiley8:Quote:

Fortunately, they're on a reasonable price point for Graycliff
I'm pretty sure I didn't inhale but it's possible I sucked a few down. I am not a frequent smoker, and I've never smoked cigs, so when I inhale I usually cough it up pretty quicky. I did enjoy the buzz.... I enjoyed it a lot. Too bad it reminded me of the first (and last) time I smoked the wacky tobacky while drunk.:smiley20:Quote:

Thanks for the advice
some mild - medium cigars that I've enjoyed:
Ashton classic, cabinet, aged maduro and VSG
Montecristo classic, Media Noce and Afrique (the white label was too mild for me but you may like it)
Playboy By Don Diego
Gran Habano #1 Connecticut
most Arturo Fuente
Gurkha ancient warrior
Perdomo Lot 23
Padilla serie '68
I also hear that Graycliff Emerald are pretty mild(haven't had this one)
I'm not the biggest fan mild cigars but I've found that all these are nice smooth smokes and are not harsh at all and still pack a ton of flavor. There are tons more which you can research on any cigar shop online. Hope this helps.
Ooooh, a good throw-up cigar. I will have to remember that. The strongest cigar I've ever smoked was a Perdomo Habano something or other. Wow. Really strong stuff, but I loved it. I am a pretty novice cigar smoker myself, and have made it a habit to always eat something that will stick to me beforehand. I've definitely felt woozy after a few cigars, but never hugged the porcelain god.Quote:

I've been smoking cigs lightly for a year now but never took them seriously, or paid attention to what I was smoking, so I am basically starting over from the basics.
oh.... one more thing logan37....... "Meow"
Meow listen here PackinHeat, if you want a good mild cigar you should see if you can get your paws on some Devil's Weed - the company specifically designed the cigar for new people getting into the hobby that wanted a mild cigar that still had some nice flavors to it. I read a review that said that they would get better with age, but when I smoked one I thought it was fantastic(The owner wanted the release to coincide with Columbus's 515th landing in the America's)

I would watch Super Troopers for the 117th time but my wife loaned it to her sister and I haven't got it back yet. One more week and that's grounds for divorce.Quote:

I'm looking at buying a box for this very reason, so that I can let them age and enjoy some (hopefully) real quality mild cigars. I'll PM you with some details/ideasQuote:

Sitting with the owner chatting at my local B&M and he pointed out a couple sites that you can get devil's weed from:
www.vcigar.com
http://www.vcigar.com/cigars-by-bran...173_3_225.html
www.silocigar.com
http://www.silocigars.com/advanced_s...s+weed&x=0&y=0
Smoked another devil's weed today and I enjoyed it a lot more than the first one. I think I smoked the first one too early in my smoking experience and there was too many flavors in it and it overwhelmed me a little bit. I'll post a full review when I can sit down and really pay attention to the whole cigar.

Yeah I'm sure. His name is Luis Molina and he's been living in New Orleans for a long time, worked with one of the major companies here before moving on to start Molina Cigars. If you go on www.molinacigars.com the front page is signed Luis Molina. He sort of functions as his own rep right now from what I can tell, though; not sure why it would be a bad thing if he was a rep/why it came up??
