Each blend is created to please the palate of different cigar smokers - from the buttery Emerald to the smooth and silky Chateau Grand Cru and powerful Espresso.

Graycliff Cigars' numerous awards include: France's Club Cigare's 2001 Cigar of the Year Award; The Robb Report's Best of the Best in 2003 for the Crystal, the Espresso in 2004 and Chateau Grand Cru in 2006; and many accolades from Top25Cigars.com including Best Boutique Cigar Company.
