My friend gave me one of the Greycliff 1666 sticks and told me how premium it was. I was disappointed with it. So I purchased several more, to give them a second chance. Still disappointed, they don’t burn well, the taste is uneven and you can’t smoke them past halfway without them getting hot and such. There are so many better cigars on the market for lots less money. A definite….skip it.

Jack,

You should re-write your review on the Graycliff 1666 as these cigars are in fact NOT made in the Bahamas. They are made under licenses for Cigars International by Nestor Placensia’s Honduran factory right along side $2 cigars like 5 Vegas and El Mejor cigars.

Cigars International & Cigar.com misleads the cigar smoking public and you by implying that these cigars are being made at Graycliff’s exclusive resort and cigar factory in the Bahamas.

CI tries to act like the hero to the consumer by making them believe that they are getting a genuine Graycliff cigar that should sell for $15 to $20 but instead they are getting a cheap imitation of a genuine Avalino Lara blended, Cuban-rolled, Bahamian made cigar.

You can verify this information with Paolo Garzaroli at Graycliff.

They are excellent, the combo of spices, creamy vanilla and smooth mocha blends make this semi-sweet maduro wrapped medium cigar a good choice for a after dinner smoke or anytime. The presidente 1666 lasted about 50 minutes with a good draw and even burn. I usually smoke the black label pirates but I got a 5 pack for a great price so I took a gamble and got a winner for just dollars a light.

I think the Greycliff 1666 is a great cigar. Slightly sweet, full flavor, and smooth throughout with a perfect draw. Not real pretty though. Get the 10 Cigar sampler from Cigars International for $49. Can’t beat that price.

[...] Kristoff Criollo has a slightly veiny, oily wrapper and a bit of a spongy feel, reminiscent of a Graycliff. Its pigtail and shaggy, closed foot give it a rustic, old-time look, but you’ll immediately [...]
