Do any gorillas know the story behind the Graycliff 1666 and whether they are a new line from Graycliff made just for CI or they are a pre-existing line repackaged for CI.
Thanks
This might help:
The site of the Graycliff Resort was originally a church built in 1666, one of Nassau’s first structures and certainly most prominent. Known as the "Pride of the Bahamas," this historic site later served as a fort before becoming home to the grand 5-star resort it is today. Its visitor list has included Sir Winston Churchill, Aristotle Onassis, Paul Newman, King Constantine, the Beatles....just to name a few.
Today - Graycliff boasts one of the top boutique cigar factories in the world. Employing a mere one dozen skilled master-rollers, this small factory is home to the top-rated Graycliff cigar brand.
To call attention its nearly 450 year history, Graycliff ’1666’ was crafted. This rich, redolent beauty is easily the prettiest Graycliff made....its dark, toothy Jaltepec maduro wrapper was carefully selected, combined with an extensively-aged recipe of Peruvian, Columbian, Brazilian, and Mexican long-fillers, a multi-country mixture secured by an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder. The cigar is perfectly balanced, releasing a complex smorgasbord of unique flavors and mouthwatering aromas. Deep, smooth, notes of earth, nuts, and coffee coat the palate - leaving behind the faintest hint of sweet spices, completing a luxurious and memorable medium-bodied experience. One would expect nothing less from Graycliff.
Honestly, the first one I had was not good, burn issues, bitterness,etc. Set them in the Humi for a month and they were quite enjoyable. I still like the PG better but this is a good smoke at a decent price online. Not so decent price in the local B & M.
