Graycliff "Blue Band" Robusto

This was brought back to me from the Graycliff's resort by a friend who vacationed there with his wife.

In appearance, this cigar is a light claro, almost greenish in tint. The wrapper was marred by bumps and what appeard to be glue stains! It is light in weight, but appears fairly well made.

Upon lighting, the smoke was acrid, hot and umpleasant. This continued for approximately 5 minutes, and then the taste lost much of its edge. What was left, however, was a mild to medium bodied cigar that rose, at best, to heights of mediocrity. There was an unpleasant grassy taste to the finish, which began at about the middle of the cigar and intensified until I had had enough.

In all, this was the most over-hyped, disappointing "high end" cigar I have ever smoked (with the notable exception of the Perdomo Edicion de Silvio). I would not purchase it for my consumption at any price, I am afraid. With its price figured in, my rating yields:

Appearance: 7/10
Construction: 7/10
Flavor: 10/20
Finish: 5/10
Smoking experience: 10/20
Aroma: 7/10
Overall impression: 10/20

Total: 56/100
