"High Marks, but Overpriced"
Nice Cigar, in fact everything clicked for me with this cigar, except the price. The Graycliff Professionale PGX is well built and attractive, certainly no complaints there. The flavor was salty and nutty with hints of cream. Overall a very good cigar. However, the price is certainly out of line and out of sight. I might add I enjoyed it much more that the Regular Graycliff line PGX, in every way this cigar is its superior. Try one yourself and enjoy!

"Not the best Graycliff"
but a good smoke nonee the less. Construction is as all Graycliffs perfect and the burn perfect and a very good ash. I just wasn't all that taken with the flavor. It's a good stick it's just not up to Graycliff standards in my book, at least not for the price.

"Top Rank"
The blue label is a terrific cigar. I know alot of people are put off by the retail price, I never pay retail for them, you don't have to. Maybe because of that they get a bad rap but if you find them for 7 to 10 bucks they are a excellent buy. The flavors are complex but not overpowering, rich but not confusing. Graycliffs are unique and I guess not for everyone but they will always be one of the ones I reach for first when I open my humidor.

"A wonderful Cigar"
I picked up a five pack of these in a sampler. I have smoked them all and ordered more. An absolute fantastic cigar. Wonderful depth with the flavor and impeccable construction.

"Truly a premium?"
Yesterday, I had the time to fire up a Professionale that I had been aging for a couple months that I picked up in a sampler. Initial odor on lighting was fantastic, but the burn quickly turned difficult and ugly. The ash was the strangest dark grey, almost black, and extremely uneven! There were hints of greatness in the leaves, but the construction was inconsistent, and nearly impossible to keep lit. I got it down to 3", and that was all I could stand; however, the finish was really quite pleasant. Vastly overpriced.

"Nope."
I guess I just don't understand the Graycliff mystique. Got five of these in a sampler. First one burned poorly and tasted nasty. I waited. And waited a while longer. Second one burned poorly and tasted harsh and nasty. Left them another six months in the humidor. Bad burn, and tasted like I was licking an ashtray. All of the other cigars in the sampler were fine-to-great, so I don't think it was a supplier issue. There are so many good cigars out there that can be had at a third the price; I just don't get it.

"About the same as my last review."
This stick had about about 7 months more box time. Everything was the same as my last review except for the construction. This stick burnt unevenly. Below Average value even at the bargain price I scored these at of $7.

"Scotty Said it Best"
I agree with Scotty's review. However, the Hoya de Nics are much stronger... These sticks are very well constructed, but over priced. I scored mine on Cigarbid for a little under $8 a stick.

"$13.00? No way."
Scored a five pack for $35. Even at $7 I just don't see myself lining up to buy any more of these. Aging helped to balance the flavor and strength. Flavor is a nice full experience of coffee, spice, and earth. Body is more full than medium. This stick burnt and drew well. Aftertaste was solid. BUT...The fact that you can buy other similar cigars for $4-5 (Camacho Corojo, Padron Maduro 1000 series, Gran Habano Corojo, Joya De Nicaraguan 1970 Antano, all come to mind) dooms these sticks to be left on the shelves in my opinion. Maybe if we just stopped buying them at $12-$15...the price would come down?

"Inconsistent let down"
After smoking five of these now, I think I can give this cigar a fair review. First off I'm a big fan of Graycliff with the original blend and Espresso being my favorite. The first stick was a pleasant smoke, a tad fuller than the original blend. The second I gifted to a buddy of mine...bad luck, a bitter stick - embarrassing! After he put it out, I re-lit the gar to confirm an acrid cardboard flavor. I let the other 3 cigars sit for a little over two months in my Daniel Marshall humidor to try and iron out any imperfections that may have come from being young, and or dry from the UPS trip. The remaining 3 sticks ranged from bitter to flavorless. All but 1 of 5 cigars were less than metiocre in construction and flavor. These 5 must have come from a bad batch. Stick to the original blend and espressos. I've gone through a box of both with no problems.

"Piss Poor Burn"
Last night I had the chance to smoke my Graycliff Profesionale P.G. X I had recently purchased in Nassau. I was excited because a week prior I had smoked the Graycliff Original Blend P.G. X and it was damn near perfect. I was expecting the same thing! On the contrary, I got a stick that would not stay lit, burned worth of sh*t, and it ruined my overall experience. More flavorful than its counterpart (Original Blend) but absolutely not worth it if I have to struggle to keep it lit. IMHO

"Excellent smoke, but the price..."
Good construction, very smooth draw, and nice flavor with a spicey finish. Overall this is one of the best smokes I have had. The only drawback is the price, fortunately I got this as part of a sample from CBID.

"Price Killer"
I wanted to be fair when smoking this so I let it sit in the humidor for exactly 365 days. The color of the wrapper was not impressive and the cigar had a few veins. Nice cap, nice burn, nice draw. Vegetal, salty, and sweet undertones. Mild/Medium smoke that was average at best, but defintely overpriced.

"Laughable Price"
One very tasty overpriced cigar. Prelight and appearance were nice but not $15-16 nice. Same for construction and smokabilty.
Thank God I scored a five packer on c-bid for like $35. Even at $7 a throw these are slightly overrated. At $15 you're paying about $7 just for the right to pull off the Graycliff label. Flavor was med to slight full of coffee, spice, earth. Nice aftertaste and finish to these. Slow burning stick lasted like an hour and 45 min.

"Good But Spendy"
No bad experience, rather close to outstanding experience. But the price is just too damn high for what you get. This is a five-six buck stick compared to what's out there.

"Nice Cigar"
Having said it's "nice"....it's price is staggering. And while this cigar has no faults, it just ain't worth the dough. I'd never turn one down, but when I finish the last two of four I bought, it's adios to this one. Construction is superb.

"No aftertaste"
This is one great cigar. Everything about this cigar was perfect. However, the price is pretty steep. Construction, burn, and draw are excellent. I was smoking a toro and had to answer the phone. When I came back 10 minutes later the cigar did not have to be re-lighted. Very impressed with this one.
