I was given one months ago.. You guys have convinced me to let it sleep for a LONG time. Glad I didn't pay for it as well.kuzi16:
i would agree but ive never paid for one.Vulchor:
+1....unless you count making me feel like I wasted money---it has done that for me.dennisking:1666 has never done anything for me either.
...thankfully. -
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.Poker Slob: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. -
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? -
I'll reiterate what me and someone were discussing a few pages back - the Sherpa was the worst cigar I've ever had. I mean it had this nasty bitter taste that I can't describe how bad it was. Now that was my first one. Fast forward to about 18 months or so later, I dig one out of the humi that I forgot about and it was a nice cigar esp for the price. Nothing to really write home about, but a decent stick for sure - I was very pleasantly surprised.
Now, I don't know if the first one was a bum stick, or if these things really need a little age to make them decent, or maybe a little of both. Either way, just give em a shot - if your first one sucks, just bury it and revisit it down the road - you've got nothing to lose!
As for the Obsidian, no idea - never had one..
**EDIT - I was talking about the Sherpa, not the Sherpa Cafe. I've heard they're better than the regular Sherpa -
Thanks Heavy!

MTuccelli, to pile on what Heavy has said here - there is a WORLD of difference between the Sherpa (which is absolute goat ass) and the Sherpa CAFE, which is a really good stick. I think you made the right call nixing the Obsidians, but I would suggest you let the Sherpa Cafe's ride. Tasty mild smoke that wont break the bank. Make sure to shoot me a PM after you smoke one or two, would love to hear what you think of them.Heavy:I'll reiterate what me and someone were discussing a few pages back - the Sherpa was the worst cigar I've ever had.

Will do SniperThe Sniper:. Make sure to shoot me a PM after you smoke one or two, would love to hear what you think of them. -
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.MTuccelli:Would like to know is the Sherpa Cafe and the Obsidian really as bad as reported here?

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.

I actually enjoy the Devils Weed Nicot I think it is (Churchill) a very tasty mild smoke.rah0785:ljl:Devil's weed!!!!

Easy, now. Nobody called you an idiot. The hating on the Obsidian is based on people's personal experiences with that stick's burn problems and the sarcasm surrounding those sticks are simply long standing, good-natured back and forth jabbing among friends.blurr:You can bomb me with a few obisidians joZer!!!

There's no in-crowd here, everyone's welcome. And yes, the only way to know for sure is to try the cigar for yourself. If you take a look at the trades section you'll see all kinds of threads where people are trading sticks they don't like to others who do like them. Each palate is different and everyone respects that.
The Obsidian is an easy target because so many people have had problems with their burns but by no means were you being belittled. The members on this forum are a very accepting group of people, even the retarded ones. -
LOL!!! Your last sentence made my day...and my new sig line. Thanks - hope you don't mind!
-
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!

Funny, because I just quoted you in MY signature :-PHeavy:LOL!!! Your last sentence made my day...and my new sig line. Thanks - hope you don't mind! -
HAHA - bucha damn comedians around here I guess!!

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.jfaciane:Well I had a Romeo Y Juliet Reserva Real yesterday and I must say I didn't enjoy it.

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.bigharpoon:

First things first, sorry you had a bad experience with that. It sounds to me like you may have had a bad stick. Then again, it could be that old saying, everyones palate is different. I'm almost half way through a box of robusto's. And I haven't had one issue with them. Of course I usually have them in the morning with coffee. But still, no issue's. I say revisit it. For example, I had a Padilla 1932. It was nasty to me. I told a friend of mines that and he thought I was crazy. It was a fuller body and I wasn't use to it. Now, I like them. Now a RJ Reserva Real is no full body, but it is for me a smooth and creamy smoke that goes very well with a coffee break. I think, revisit... -
Will do. Also, it's also one of my first sticks in my humidor and of the 5 or so I started out with, two were dry like that. Maybe my humidor wasn't seasoned enough or something and it did take me a while to get the humidity and all right. Now it's all good in there and I have like 15 sticks and waiting on 2 more orders from this site.RCY Cigars:jfaciane:

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.bigharpoon: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.
