Had one today, what do you guys think of it?

I found it to be pretty smooth for the most part. A bit of coffee taste but not as much as I expected. Definitely felt it in the gut, as far as strength goes...
Light 'em up.

    I will pick them up while on a deal otherwise I pass. I like them, though not as good as their rep.

    I've had two and they both sucked. Burn and draw issues and not much going on in the flavor dept.

    Maybe it wasn't just me then, I figured I didn't light it right, but it had some pretty serious burn problems. Ditto on the flavor. I kept waiting to pick more stuff out but....just had that slight coffee taste throughout.
    Light 'em up.

    Still one of my favorite cigars, you do have to let them rest a few months.

    I've smoked quite a few Graycliffs, and at least a mazos worth of the Double Espresso. Maybe more. Like most of their line, the fresher your palate, the better. The flavors tend to be very delicate. With the DE, I get a lot of the complexity through the nose. It's a really smooth cigar, so I don't notice the strength right away, or sometimes at all. The predominant flavor I get is a mixture of espresso and chocolate. The aroma is amazing. I like them quite a bit, but I've had my share of plugs and off tasting sticks. I've said this before, and I really like Graycliff, but they are just not that consistent.

    Preferably 12-18 in my experience for them to really shine.

    I think it is a good cigar that is grossly overpriced, seemingly based only on brand name, and not quality of product delivered.

    To the DE specifically, but also in general to all Graycliffs, at least the Bahamas blends, as they do tend to improve with some time...I don't think any amount of age would help the 1666 become anything more than decent.
