I remember the first time I saw this cigar on the shelf at a local tobacconist and it caused me to chuckle. GR8 was very junior high and I wasn’t sure of the name to be honest. It seemed corny and gimmicky. I smoked a few and liked them enough to make them a part of my rotation.

A few weeks ago I went to Tobacco Plaza on Long Island which is where Old School cigars started. And if you remember my review from a few weeks ago of the the Old School Original you will recall how I went gaga over them. In fact I liked them so much I headed back out to the shop which is about 25 miles from house just to buy some GR8 cigars to review on this website.
