Hmm I wonder if dry boxing helps these?

Exactly what I was thinking.

I think I've read that it does.

Does'nt sound like much would help them.

Yeah, my experience with the 1666 hasn't been great. I have a couple of pirates that I will let sit for at least a year before I touch them to give them one last shot. I will try dry boxing them as well to see if it helps.

I have had maybe 10 or so of the 1666. I have never had a bad experience with any of them. I have a 10 pack sampler in the humi with about 8 months of rest, plus a couple singles. I think I will smoke them in a week or so. That way I can try the entire line in a short period of time. I have a feeling that the ones that are made in the Bahamas, are going to be much better than the few that are not. I know that the 1666 is made off site.

I've smoked quite a lot of them in the presidente vitola and have had no construction issues. I keep them at 65% RH and the burn perfectly. Also, the flavors transition nicely from a chocolate to a coffee dominant making them perfect for a pairing with morning coffee. Matter of fact, I think I'll light one up now.

My only good experience with the 1666 has been with the presidente vitola. I've had a couple of the Pirates and they pretty much sucked.

Yea, I've had the pirates too, not nearly as good and definately had construction issues.

the 1666, no matter how long it is in any humidor, does not get any better. 65% rh will even out a bit of the burn issues, but the flavor is noting special. it isnt a bad tasting cigar, it is just WAY over priced for what it is.

Graycliff is the Gurkha of the Bahamas.

So I had the 1666 last night and.... tossed it in a third in... horrible burn, going out all the time, and honestly - the flavors did not work for me to warrant a struggle till the end... so disappointed - especially since it had some rest! I will however go now with a professionale and G2.

Sucks to hear it didn't work out. If you ever want to give the 1666 another shot, I would recommend the presidente vitola (not sure what size you smoked), Cabi and I both have had good experiences with that size.

The 1666 is not my favorite, I don't see myself purchasing anymore anytime soon. I'm sort of in the same boat with Gurkha, and I've tried quite a few. I guess I do recall liking the shaggy. Now the double espresso from Graycliff is another story, I could smoke those all day.

The 1666 is also one of my favorite cigars. I only had one, so far, but I have 4 more waiting in my humidor!

Ive got 2 in my humi with about 5 months rest...I may have to give it a shot soon...Im like most on here, been afraid to try them because of the rep it has been getting
