Just smoked a Graycliff Expresso Pirate. I was able to get it for $12 in Austin. This was suggested to me by the retailer because I was looking for a very spicy cigar. Upon lighting it I would agree it was very spicy with a ton of flavor. I don't know if I got used to it or what, but the spice went away somewhat in the middle, but got very strong again towards the end. It made my mouth kind of tingle. Most impressive was the fact that there was no aftertaste or bitternessat the end that I find with many other cigars. Lasted over an hour. Would buy many more but wish it was in the $8-$10 range.
