Graycliff cigars are made by Avelino Lara, the creator of the famous Cuban brand "Cohiba". With a pedigree like that, you know these cigars are going to be at least "better than average".
The slightly oily Indonesian wrapper is very smooth and slightly darker than a typical Connecticut shade, more of a Colorado - having a touch of redness to it. The filler of the Graycliff Blue Label PGX Professionale is reported to be a mix of tobacco from Brazil, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. At 6.0" x 50 ring gauge, they feel comfortably large in your hand. The construction is very firm from head to foot, and there was little or no unwrapping of the shoulder around the punch hole I put in the end. The bouquet was rich and smooth before the cigar was lit. Below is a pre-lit picture of the cigar:
