Would you start a new cigar line in . . . the Bahamas?

Los Angeles, November 20 – If you were going to start a cigar line, would you have your production facility in the Dominican Republic? Honduras? Nicaragua?

How about the Bahamas?

Enrico Garzaroli, the owner of the five-star Graycliff resort in Nassau, decided he wanted a cigar as good as his resort. So he hired Avelino Lara, formerly the supervisor of the Cohiba brand in Havana and set about making a Graycliff cigar.

It’s now lauded as for its construction, flavor and quality, with prices to match. AtlanticCigar has some of the more popular sizes on sale in popular blends like the Original, Profesionale and the elegant Chateau Gran Cru series. We also found some terrific specials on other brands that will make great gifts for someone . . . like yourself!
