"I am the smoker of the fine Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne Torpedo cigar, they are a medium to mild smoke. I buy them at Online Cigar Shop & Golf in Shrub Oaks NY...."

The Robusto format is the best selling size for most brands. The Griffin's is an exception. Popular yes, but competing hard with the others in this lineup. The reason is the blend. This cigar is very easy to smoke - rich, creamy, tasty.
"Experience the fascination!" has been the call to action for this cigar since it's original introduction 40 years ago in Geneva. What started off as a limited production item for the legendary Geneva nightclub 'The Griffin's' has grown into a worldwide phenomenon. The cigar began it's life as an alternative to the Cuban cigars available in Geneva - cigars that seemed no longer have the aroma and flavor of their storied past. The Griffin's blend of Dominican tobaccos has an appeal that has continued to grow since it's introduction of a few thousand cigars made for the Geneva patrons of the nightclub to a cigars being sold in the millions across the world. What makes the blend popular is it's taste. This taste harkens back to a time when the cigars were made from well aged tobaccos, carefully blended to create a 'signature'. This signature was first the aroma - recognizable even in a crowded and dark club. The signature also had taste and strength to please the consumer. This same 'signature' is in the Griffin's blend today. Fascination? Perhaps, but it is easier to just say "Griffin's".
