Graycliff Cigar Company
New Providence
In 1994, an emigrant businessman from Lake Como, Italy, moved to Nassau to supervise his investment, the Graycliff Hotel, and liked it so much there that he decided to stay. Eventually, he established the country's best-known and most respected cigar factory. It employs about 16 mostly Cuban-expatriate cigar rollers, who, within full view, use non-Cuban tobacco to create 10 different styles of sought-after cigars. These are sold on the premises and priced around US$5.25 to US$22 (£2.65-£11) each, depending on quality. There's also a 16-inch "big bamboo," priced at US$50 (£25), that makes whoever smokes it look almost like a caricature, and which is guaranteed to get its consumer very, very high. Best of all, these cigars, crafted with the finest techniques, are completely legal to import back into the U.S. Open Mon-Sat 9am-6pm.In 1994, an emigrant businessman from Lake Como, Italy, moved
