has anybody tried these things? are they gold-plated or something? for that price they better come with a free lewinski thrown in...

No Lewinsky but I heard you get a full size blow-up Tripp doll with each box.

no thanks, i'll pass on that one.

I was given one by someone who said they were hard to get but didn't tell me the price. I think that makes for a more accurate tasting. Around that time I had also tried Playboy By Don Diego and Diana Silvius. The Graycliff was more delicate. After I found out the price of it I wrote this in my tasting notes: Graycliff. - "smooth and creamy with complex overtones and too mild. There is something exceptional about it but it’s not worth a super price by any means". You might want to try smoking a Diana Silvius after lighting it with a ten-dollar bill. You'll get almost the same effect and save yourself a couple of bucks. On the other hand if price is no concern and you do like mild cigars then go ahead as it was a better cigar.

don't like mild cigars that much, except for maybe sinatra my way, thanks for the heads up---i could probably get 4 for the price of one graycliff

I was gifted one (Presidente) a few weeks ago. I had it after a great steak and red wine dinner. I was all set to fire up a Perdomo Reserve when my buddy pulls out a Greycliff and hands it over. I was afraid it was going to be too mellow, but didn't want to offend him. It turned out to be an excellent smoke with mild to medium strength, but plenty of flavor. The most pronounced flavor was cream, the creamiest cigar I've ever had. It had some coffee notes, too. Perfect construction and burn. I was very impressed. Would I pay $20 for one? No. But I would take one before many of the $10 cigars out there. They are unique and worth a try.
