I like the little "knuckle" size, but it only comes in the flight sampler. I've found construction to be hit or miss on these but the flavors are usually pretty good. Not a wow cigar, but a good solid smoke.

I'm right there with you guys. Pretty decent in the first 1/2 then it gets a little funky.

I believe the reason you find these discounted(especially compared to the balance of the Graycliff line) is that they are not rolled by Graycliff. They are made in Nicaragua at another factory. In fact, you will not even find these on the official Graycliff site.

A decent smoke, but I have found them a bit "rough" compared to the other cigars from Graycliff.
