tuxpuff will become famous soon enough
Default Graycliff 1666 Presidente

Size – 7 x 48
Shape – Churchill
Wrapper – Ecuador
Filler – Bra., Hon., Nic.
Binder – Ecuador

Nice solid roll. Very dark, oily, leathery wrapper. Light tobacco aroma prelight.

First third
Initial draw very chocolaty with a full creamy mouth feel. Draw is good. Long and dry cedar aftertaste. Peppery nose exhale. It quickly leaves a tingly feeling on the palate with clove flavors. The flavor eventually lightens up near the end of this third leaving only a light tobacco taste with a light mocha aftertaste.

Second third
Burning well. The flavor profile picks back up in strength a bit. Leather and tobacco with hints of licorice. Medium mocha aftertaste. Flavor staying consistent throughout this third.

Last third
Still consistent in flavors of leather and tobacco with a light mocha aftertaste. Burning very well with a good draw. At the end the strength really picks up with very heavy and slightly bitter tobacco flavors.

Conclusion
This was an OK cigar…not great by any means. The construction was very good and the flavors mostly pleasant with the exception of the very last draws. I would like to see more complexity.
