My Trip To Graycliff in the Bahamas

Powers · 03-16-2009, 11:45 AM

Just last week was spring break for a lot of colleges here in the south-east, including the University of Florida

. So my girlfriend and I and a bunch of other friends went on a 4 day spring break cruise to the Bahamas on the Norwegian Sky.
While the cruise was awesome,

drinking 12 hours a day and always lighting up a stogie

, at our port of call in Nassau I sought out the Graycliff Cigars.

IT WAS AWESOME!!

I was lead to the room where they age the cigars. Then to the area where about half a dozen people were rolling them right in front of me!! My first experience seeing people roll cigars and visit the factory.
I couldn't resist and bought a cigar right from the source!

How was their cigar? Never had a Greycliff and have heard mixed reviews. Greycliff is suppose to have an excellent wine list for their resort.

Glad you had fun Mike. It is said that if one were to quack while touring the property the cigar would be on the house. Course that's just what I heard.

Something I have always wondered.
Who on Earth thought of that logo for their name?
Looks like it was drawn in art class by a second grader.

I bought the classic, red-label Graycliff. I'll probably let it rest for several months before I light it up but I'll let you know what I think about it when I do.

ANd if they know you are a college student while you're quacking they'll give you a box of cigars.......ohhhhhh, that's not in the bahamas is it?

Glad you had a good time bro!!

Ahbroody · 03-16-2009, 04:46 PM

awesome.
Apparently you can even have them make you a custom blended cigar. Had one from a Botl of the old board that was so floral it was amazing.

There 1666 blend in the smaller sizes has a very similar profile.
