Barclay-Rex Tobacconists & Graycliff Cigars
Celebrate at the Bull and Bear
Barclay-Rex Tobacconists and Graycliff Cigar Company held a dinner and wine tasting recently at the Bull and Bear Restaurant at the Waldorf Astoria on Park Avenue. Over 200 guests enjoyed an evening of cigar rolling, entertainment and fine food and beverages.
Roberta Garzaroli of Graycliff Cigars sits back and watches as her guests enjoy their after dinner smoke.
Paolo Garzaroli, of Graycliff Cigars has opened up a cigar factory with the legendary Avelino Lara, in Nassau, Bahamas. Lara's fame stems from his head position in the El Laguito Factory (makers of the coveted Cohiba) in Cuba and his position as Fidel Castro's personal Cohiba roller. The factory will premier the new Graycliff cigar line produced in The Bahamas and is set to thrill cigar aficionados. Garzaroli ensures the "end result will be an extremely well made cigar with a flawless draw. It will no doubt carry a perfect balance of full, rich flavours and an elegant finish sure to have you craving for more."
