Anyone tried these yet? They are not widely carried by many shops, seems the price point is a little high, but that's relative I guess. Just curious to see if anyone has tried them and what your impressions were. If I run across someplace that carries them I might check one out, but 18 - 20 is a little steep just to experiment. A couple of the local BM's in my area gave me the price points but hadn't tried them.

Ive had both lines , plus the L.E.
Good, but nothing to go cuckoo-cuckoo over.
It's a cigar that you smoke and say...hmmmm, that was good.
But would never chase a box of them.

Thanks, I'll probably wait for a deal. In that price range I might as well have a Padron because that's the price point in my area. At least I know I like Padron!

These look interesting as the family line and the LE are rolled by Graycliff in the bahamas and the el diario line is rolled at raices cubana (Illusione, Viaje, A Bradley etc). I've only tried the LE robusto sized smoke and wasn't impressed especially with the high price tag. I was looking to try the el diario line just because its rolled at RC where I like most of what comes out of there. G1

The little Kill Bill size is a very good smoke at I think around $5 a stick. It's a powerful little bugger as well. The expensive ones from Graycliff were meh in my opinion.

The El Diaria is very nice but for the price point the regular and LE line is nothing to go out of your way to get.

They remind me alot like a Punch Uppercut with a doubled price tag.
The first line (and maybe the others) are made at the Graycliff factory. They are the only cigars that come out of Graycliff that I like; just not the price.

Not sure how available they are. The one I smoked was given to me by a friend and I have no clue where he got it.

The El Dario's, to me, are the best of the line... It's in the Illusione/Tat price range, & worth every cent IMO. One of the best balanced & well rounded cigars I've smoked in a while.
