graycliff Crystal LE. They taste better with a mug of coffee.It is a simple smoke with distinctive espresso flavor. Per cigar.com these are one time release. Comes with Habano Oscuro wrapper, Cameroon binder and aged Nicaragua long filler. I enjoy this cigar sometime. Tim was very kind to sent me a bunch of these.
Here is an update although my pallet isn't the best I would say it started off a with a bit of pepper especially with retrohale for the initial few draws which then faded as expected. After the foot was gone the draw opened up to a nice salty cedar with some sweetness and very creamy. As the smoke goes on the saltyness lessens, or I am getting used to it. Maybe it's just me but at the beginning of the last third I am detecting some floral notes that I enjoy and some pepper is coming back in the nose through retrohale. Some puffs there is more cedar and sometimes some floral. It just ashes with less than an inch left and I am wishing for more but I am almost dome here. I was I'm the mood for a relaxing smoke and this did deliver!

Great read brother and sounds like you got a lot out of it! That would be a Hendrik Kelner blend, and in my experience all of his blends have a floral musk element to them, do you pick any of that up? Musk is the right word by all means but the additives thy I always got were smoky notes with a floral element. Really love that which is why I've become such an AVO wh0re as of late lol. Really sound like a brilliant stick though congrats!!!

Don Arturo Gran AniverXario Natural. I won't even waste your or my time about reviewing this cigar. It is simply one dimensional, no complexity, lack consistent flavor, average burn. I am very disappointed. However, I really enjoyed the other one. All I got from it is a toasty, molasses, sweet flavor. With a price tag $50..no way.

Really sorry to hear you got such a bum cigar! That is one on my Bucket List, unfortunate to hear you had a bad experience, sorry brother! Feel free to send me your remaining so you don't have to deal with them again... :P

Tatuaje Fausto. Quite strong after the first inch, about half way in and it's getting really interesting. Toasty wood, a slight sweet carmelized flavor and a lot of leather. Spice is fading into a nice smoothness. im diggin this!

I had a very similar experience, loved it enough that I am now always hunting for them and fixing to smoke the Avion pretty soon! So glad you enjoyed it as much as I did!

I hate you... lmao! Nice smoke Justin, I haven't had one in months, those things just ROCK!
Today's my sons birthday. He turning 4. So I decided to go with a good cigar I know I like. I'm trying to age these. (I think this one only has 8-12 months on it) Probably won't happen. Lol

NC Cohiba with enough age to have a yellow, brittle cellophane and a nice bloom...very tasty! I don't know who sent me this one, but thanks!
