I am a fan of the Graycliff line. But, only the ones from the Bahamas. The others, well not so much. If you look around, you can get a good price on almost the entire line. I just picked up a 15er of the new Platinum Ed. Limited Robustos for $46.
Not that I think it matters, but the Ltd. Platinum and Ltd. Crystal are not made it the Bahamas. I too am a fan of the Bahamas made blends, but the Crystal and Platinum Ltd. are both solid cigars imo, even though they're made in Nicaragua, and they carry the signature Graycliff taste fairly well.
Just had a Nica Libre Principe that I had high hopes for, but was let down about 3 puffs into it when it started to taste like straight ash. Love the rest of the line, but this was pretty disappointing. Oh well, I'll live to smoke another day!
Would like to know is the Sherpa Cafe and the Obsidian really as bad as reported here? I ordered a 5 pack of the Sherpa before I got to that post and put the brakes on an order of the Obsidian. Are they really goat ass smokes?
Don't know about the sherpa's but yes the Obsidians are that bad. If you happen to get one that doesn't taste like a camping hippie's bunghole, it will burn like crap and not stay lit.
You can bomb me with a few obisidians joZer!!! I asked about if a drawpoker works and got called an idiot pretty much, just for asking. I still never follow too much about forum-speak, people tend to jump on the bandwagon too much for each particular forum;s in-crowd like/dislikes. I've disagreed with so many hated on sticks for each individual forum I check regularly that I learned early on try every cigar for yourself before you start bashing, and even if you do remember there is ALWAYS someone who loves the cigar you think is a turd.
Ok I smoked a Pioneer Valley and I now have a reference to what a goats ass taste like. This cigar was so bad not even brushing my teeth and mouth wash would get the funk out of my mouth. I ended up having to siphon some gas out of the car to finally get rid of the taste!
Well I had a Romeo Y Juliet Reserva Real yesterday and I must say I didn't enjoy it. It tasted like dirt, literally, and rough on the palate. Maybe it was a bad stick, IDK, it was my first one but I won't be buying one again. It was a mild brand, don't know the name of the roll or shape or whatever. I'm still learing that part.

Weird, those have always been smooth and creamy for me.

Well, IDK then. It was the mild one, light wrapper and small ring gauge. What kind did you smoke? Give me a recommendation and I'll give it another try.
Sounds like maybe they need a little more time to get some moisture back into the leaves. Leave them for a handful of weeks and try them again later. What you described could be explained with a super dry stick.

Roger that! FYI, I just had a Oliva Serie O and it was amazing! I'm still buzzing from that bad boy.
