Graycliff 1666

[PackinHeat]

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.

Make sure there is food in your stomach before you smoke a cigar. The high you felt was from the nicotine. Did you inhale the smoke? That will make you puke and feel high.

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?

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.

I have five more of them in my humidor. I guess I better work up to them.

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.

Thanks for the advice. I've had a cigar from Padilla before and enjoyed it. Not sure if it was a mild or not but I think I'll give the '68 a try. 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 will have to put this one on my "have to buy" list!!

I LOVE these, but as with most Graycliff cigars, they are on the upper end of the scale on strength.

Fortunately, they're on a reasonable price point for Graycliff

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.

Thanks for the heads up.
