JC...
I ate dinner there a few years ago. Had a freshly rolled Pirate after dinner. This was before Graycliff was big. Avelino Lara was sitting in the back room himself rolling cigars. Got a pic. w/ him.
At that time I paid $24 for a Pirate. Then again, it was bought at the Restaurant so I'm sure prices were inflated.
Sitting in the "living room" having coffee and smoking that Pirate... What a GREAT experience!!
I'm sure if you can get some at a good price, you will probably be able to put them on the trade board.

Have a GREAT time. If you get a chance, try the Bahiba that they make. It's mild to medium, but pretty good. Runs about $6-$7 a stick.
Now, don't bring back any ISOM's... you know that's illegal!! LOL :^)

In my posting above, I said that Graycliff has another line out called "Bahiba" which is $6-$7 a stick.

Mmmm, the water is uniquely colored in that part of the world. Kind of a light blue-green. Azure maybe? Beautiful! Eat some good food before you light up. Enjoy!

Buy the empty Graycliff box and fill it with Cubans IF YOU FIND A LICENSED HABANOS SHOP.

I've had one Graycliffe gifted to me for Christmas. I was quite pleased with it's overall construction, body, and spice. Smoke em if you can get em cheap.

Sounds GREAT !!! Did you meet Avelino? He's the head honcho of the rollers (or should we say "torcedors"). The Graycliff 'gars are great. How were the prices at the factory? I bet just about the same!! You probably paid less for the Monte #2 than the Graycliffs.
I haven't been there since the factory opened. Just Avelino sitting in the back room rolling. I'm gonna to try to get back there in the near future.

SHHHHHHHH... Don't tell anyone you sneaked back a few ISOM's, don't want to get in trouble!!
