Graycliff

[CoventryCat86]

I've smoked a couple of these and I don't think they are worth the money. Specifically, I smoked the President. Here's my review:

Greycliff Expresso President

Nice review but have you smoked another since then? I know, you did not like it so why would you smoke another, but you may have gotten a bad one. If you ever smoke another let us know if there was a change in your opinion.

I would agree for a cigar like that (looking at your review) $20 a piece is outrageous.

No, I have not tried another one and in this case, it wasn't like it was a bum cigar (like being plugged or full of stems) it just did not appeal to me at all. They're pretty popular and the company appears to be trying to market these as a super premium smoke but there's no way they are on par with a Padron 1926, an Opus X or a Davidoff Millennium.

I was interested in trying a Graycliff. I splurged this past summer and purchased 2 Davidoff Anniversario No. 3's and they were awesome. I did pay $20.00 apiece for them but they were worth it. I have thought about picking up a box, but I need to get my humidor issues under control first.

I've had the Expresso Pirate and Churchill, and the Mike Ditka. They are not BAD smokes... I don't think they're worth $20.

Now if I was going to buy a $20 cigar, the Annivesario #3 is it!!! That is ONE FABULOUS smoke!!! Good call, Wrath...

I've only had one Padron before, and i didnt like it at all, i dont know what kind it was, it wasnt a 1926 though.

Do you think it might have been a 2000, a 3000, a 4000 or a 5000? If so, they are very different from the higher end Padrons like the Padron Anniversary 1964, the Padron 1926 or the Padron Millennium.

I too am not very fond of the X000 Padrons.

i'm not sure what kind it was, got it in the humi during christmas, i'll see if i can find a pic of it. The band just is brown with the padron name on it and a leaf on each side of that. If that even helps any, probably not

Actually that does help quite a bit. The 1964s and the 1926s have TWO bands on them and they specifically say "1964" or "1926" on them so I would venture to guess that you probably had one of the X000 Padrons or maybe one of the others listed HERE

I had a 6000 last week and it sucked. Never had a bad 1926 ot 1964.

I'm sorry.....I....I....I just can't spend $20 on a cigar. For one I don't have the income and secondly even if I did...........$20 on a cigar?

Maybe if it was a VERY special occasion.

I mean I'm not criticizing ANYONE who would do so. If I remember back in my slightly greener days, I bought two Padron Anniversarios shelling out about $15 a piece I think. That nearly gave me an anneurism as it was, but they were great. Those two were the only times I had actually experienced a floral taste from a cigar. There was a nice suggestion of sweet flowers. Intriguing. But that was the foolishness of youth.

I top out at around ten bucks a pop for something special these days. My dailies I like to keep in the $5 range.

$20 on a cigar? Then there's the debate about is ANY cigar really worth $20. Well?

I visited the Graycliff hotel in Nassau in January and bought a few. The price was not any type of a discount. I do like the original (red) quite a bit but I would not pay retail. I have bought several samplers off cbid and end up about 7 bucks apiece. I have an emerald series resting.
