Anyone have any info on these? Opinions? Supposedly the strongest of the line with the sungrown wrapper.

"Sporting a striking gold and white band, Graycliff Crystal is Avalino Lara’s latest creation. This robust, full-bodied smoke is well balanced and complex. The dark brown, Ecuadorian sun-grown wrapper has been double fermented to ensure a slow, even burn."

At roughly the price of the DC Maximus, I thought it would be a good comparison. Maybe Lowman's box pass will have the Graycliff Crystal in it...

I smoked a Crystal robusto last weekend. It was unbelievable. Truly, one of the top cigars I've had to date. Very strong, very flavorful, very well balanced. Enjoyable from cut to nub. I'd take it over a VSG or lousy Opus any day.

I am smoking a Graycliff Emerald this weekend. I'll let you know how that goes next week :)
