Graycliff Profesionale Series Torpedo

The Graycliff Profesionale Series is a globally inspired blend that brings together tobaccos from multiple regions to create a balanced and complex smoking experience. Produced in Honduras, this cigar features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, an Indonesian Sumatra binder, and a diverse filler blend from Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Nicaragua. This multi-country composition results in a layered and nuanced profile. Medium-bodied, the Profesionale Series opens with semi-sweet notes of bread and toasted grain, followed by earthy tobacco and subtle spice. As the cigar develops, additional layers of flavor emerge, including light sweetness, wood, and a gentle richness that coats the palate. The blend remains smooth and consistent throughout, delivering wave after wave of flavor without becoming overpowering. Its construction supports an even burn and steady draw, making it an enjoyable smoke from start to finish. This cigar pairs well with a refined spirit like Johnnie Walker Blue Label Scotch, whose complexity enhances the cigar’s subtle sweetness and depth. Earning a solid panel rating of 92, the Graycliff Profesionale Series offers a sophisticated and approachable profile, showcasing the brand’s commitment to premium craftsmanship and globally sourced tobaccos.

Honduras has been a tobacco growing and cigar manufacturing area for hundreds of years, but it was the Communist revolution in Cuba that really put Honduras on the map. In the 1960s, many Cuban cigar makers fled their homeland and arrived in Honduras to re-establish their way of life. The immigrants took advantage of the climate, soil, and geography, which were well-suited to tobacco growing, and began producing high quality cigars. The center of the Honduran cigar industry is the city of Danli and the nearby Jamastran Valley. The majority of the world’s pure Corojo tobacco is grown here, now that Cuba has stopped production of this iconic, spicy, and rich variety in favor of Corojo hybrids. Other important areas of Honduran cigar production include the Talanga Valley, Copan, and Trojes.
