Graycliff Chateau Salomone

I smoked this cigar last night while having some Decoy red wine, beers, and a little cognac. My uncle smoked the Chateau torpedo. All I can say is what a fine smoke. Upon pre light, the beast is perfectly crafted and it definitely garners the price tag with what you get on the return. Anyone that says that this cigar isn't worth the money probably shouldn’t be spending that much on a cigar. For flavor, my uncle kept coming back to the point that with this purple line, the taste of the leaf is the most prevalent. For me its the robust burnt graham crackers, and subtle sweetness. I had been saving this stick for a special occasion, and a close friend to enjoy it with. A couple of days after the election with my Uncle and his girl proved the perfect opportunity. I look forward to this treat again some time whenever I am lucky enough to get my hands on more.

A two hour monster! This one had good construction, only complaint was the wrapper started to come undone the last inch or two. Great draw with lots of flavor filled smoke, smooth yet with a punch. Second only to the Expresso in the Graycliff line. Only thing prohibitive is the high cost.

This is a great smoke. First the constuction of this difficult to roll Salamone is fantastic. The flavore is pronounced yet not agressive. A treat when smoking. Sit down and enjoy this experience.

Wonderful looking cigar, this salmone is really imposing. I have had mixed feelings of Graycliff cigars before .... I haven't had any that I disliked, but I never had any that immediately had me scurrying around looking to buy more. Well, after smoking this one, scurry I did. Medium bodied, already smooth, the taste was complex and enjoyable. Costs more than a Cuaba Salomone in some areas, so its not going to get points for value, but this one is legal in the US and almost as good.

I got this wonderful stick on a gambling trip to Nassau, The Bahamas. Beautiful construction and the largest stick I've smoked in my life. The flavors are complex with a little spice and coffee throughout. A very enjoyable experience. I've not seen these beauties in the states. Reminds me a lot of the Cuaba Salomone.
