Graycliff Ivory Review with Tommy Z

Graycliff Ivory is a gorgeous maduro out of Nicaragua with a luscious, oily, sultry San Andres wrapper, deeply dark in color with a beautiful sheen, and combined with long-fillers from Ometepe, Jalapa, and Esteli. This is a veritable candy bar and happens to match up beautifully with the white label, textured Ivory band. And it gets even better after you light it up. Naturally sweet with notes of bread, toastiness, coffee, creamy goodness, and a core of underlying spice. Yet despite the complexity it's fundamentally smooth and well-balanced with a clean, crisp finish. Medium to full in strength, it boasts excellent construction, nice combustion, and a glorioius ash, burning slow and deliberately to the nub. If you enjoy the likes of Liga Undercrown Maduro, CAO Bones, Tabernacle, Charter Oak Maduro, or Dunbarton Mi Querida, then you will really enjoy Graycliff Ivory, doubly so based on cost.
