While I was in the Bahamas, I purchased the Graycliff Elegante Blue label. Any opinions on these sticks?

Wasn't he the former El Laguito factory manager and the one who blended Cohibas?

Absolutely, I smoked one. A dry smoke. Not really complex. I thought it was mild for my taste. The rest of the sticks I have resting in the cabinet.

Hopefully they get better with age. Never had 'em, so I can't be any more helpful.

Are you joking? I can't believe that....... :whistling:

I remember a CA article saying he was the one who "guarded" the blend for Cohiba and Trinidad when it was just a diplomatic smoke. Didn't say who blended it though.....Sorry for the threadjack, interesting though.

The original blend was developed by Eduardo Rivera.........According to Min Ron Nee's Book

So you went to Graycliff factory and didn't smoke one of their cigars?
