Default Graycliff cigar rolling experience

Hey guys I thought I would share this with you.

Many of you already know I went for a great 3 days cruise in the Bahamas follwing a stay in Orlando for a couple of days and I went to visit Graycliff.

First I need to say, the people at Graycliff are incredible their hospitality and kindness is great.

I am posting some pictures of my rolling experience.
This is a 30 minutes rolling leasson and you get to keep the cigars your are rolling (anyway I am pretty sure they could not do nothing with them).
The great thing in this case they had me rolling Chateau grande blend.
I already smoke one and to my surprise it was actually good.
Hope you enjoy the pictures. The one I made are the two on the right of the last picture.

Thanks for the report, so after all the decision making I guess it was worthwhile. Looks like fun.

I've talked with my lady about going to the Graycliff sometime and I'd love to try my hand at rolling a few. Yours don't look half bad! If you were to chop off the shaggy foot, I might not have known it was your first attempt.

That's really neat. I didn't know they had a place where you could try to roll your own. I'd like to do that sometime.

Good decision to go for the Experience!
Looks like it turned out very well.

A few more rolls and you'll be a pro!
Except for the shaggy foot, yours look quite good.

BTW, I smoked a Graycliff Professional today.

I was in Nassau on the 13th and couldn't find the damn place. Walked all around it I'm sure and got tired and went back to the boat and smoked my own cigars.
