Today we have a 1970’s Punch Series B gifted to me by a very, very generous BOTL!! In my short time smoking cigars I have to say I have had the opportunity to smoke some amazing cigars below is my thoughts on this rarity. I have not posted many reviews here, so I thought I would post this one.
Pre-light this cigar is beautiful to say the least! It is oily and the color is precise, dark and dominant. It was a thing of beauty in my humble opinion.
Score using 1-10 = 9
Prelight draw was smooth; honestly I could have sat there without lighting it. The cigar clipped perfectly with zero soft spots. Construction is near flawless! As I smoked this beauty there was zero burn issues and I never needed to correct the burn once. I generally do not smoke cigars down to a nub because many get very harsh, but this cigar was worthy of a nub experience.
Score using 1-10 = 9
The flavor was coffee with some nutty undertones. Half way through the cigar woke up with an overwhelming mixture of coffee/floral experience and continues to be smooth and precise. If I had to some up this cigar I would say precision is the best word. Strength is phenomenal with plenty of smoke to evaluate and enjoy. The ash was tight and white.
Score using 1-10 = 10
Overall this cigar is high both pre and post experience. The only downfall with this cigar is that I do not have anymore! I always seem to enjoy cigars that are not readily available. This cigar was in my humble opinion worthy of admiration. I only wish I had several to compare.
Overall score using a 1-10 = 9.5.
I am very grateful that this fine BOTL gifted it to me!! Thank you sir!!
