Graycliff Double Espresso looks like Frankenstein

[Nimrod]

I bought a 10er of Graycliff Double Espresso from CI a couple weeks back, during one of the Joe deals. After receiving it, I noticed all these veins running up and down each of the cigars. It reminded me of Frankenstein. It was as if the wrapper was sewn together. Did anyone else buy the same deal from CI? How do they look? Or do they all look like this?

Looks can be deceiving. I smoked one today and it was really good.

I got that deal as well, and I agree, they definitely aren't the most beautifully constructed cigar I've ever had..

I guess the main thing is how they smoke it could be worse though, like the jose l piedra's. I grabbed a 5'er of those a couple weeks ago. Those are some ugly sticks.

WHAT IS THE DEAL with these cigars?? I have been wanting to try one, but I can't find em anywhere at any of my locals to try ONE (because the 5'ers on CI are RIDICULOUS!) and it is frustrating me!


So someone please tell me, give me a mini-review so I know if it's worth spending 80 bucks for a 5'er! I searched reviews and found reviews for the Graycliff Espresso, but not the DOUBLE Espresso, and there seems to be a difference on the cigar websites.

I got the 10'er as well, and mine looked the same. I smoked one last night, and it smoked just fine. Fantastic cigar!

No! We bought them, $60 for 10.
5 for $80 is too much

Funny you mentioned that. On CI website, the label clearly says "Double Expresso". On my invoice from CI, it clearly states "Double Expresso". But, from my cigar pic above it only says "Expresso". So which version did I have? I don't have a clue.

The second band should say double expresso on the double expresso

I went to my local B&M and found some Graycliff Espressos, but they looked more of a natural wrapper color, and he sells all Graycliffs there for $30 A STICK... I'll pay that much for a Padron 26, but I couldn't believe how expensive they are.

Is Graycliff considered a "high-end" cigar? Or are they hyped up like Gurkha??

I personally enjoy the Espresso and consider it a top notch cigar, thats just my personal opinion!! I would suggest them to anyone who would be willing to spread the bread for em'. My local carries a large amount of Graycliff for reasonable prices if you would like me look souldog.
