Boy, I better keep right on writing these reviews. It seems that the more I smoke & review, the more I get BOMB'ed :)

At-any-rate, the Punch/Punch ISOM showed up at my door yesterday and I wasted no time sparking up. Simply put, it was a mighty fine mild cigar. From my understanding, the stick received a 90-something in the reviews.

With a semi-soft packing, ignition was easily granted. The draw was smooth and easy going. Hints of leather were aparent from light up and the cigar produced a nice amount of smoke, holding a great two inch ash that drooped like...oh, never mind. I suspect that some of the mildness of this particular smoke accrued from a good deal of aging.

Frankly, this was a tough one to review. It was so mild and smooth you almost didn't notice that you were smoking it. No funky tastes, no bitterness, and no spice. Just smooth, smooth, smooth with ever-so-white smoke.

For all of you light tongued types, check the Punch/Punch ISOM out. I think it will serve you well.
 
Thanks for the review. This is one of my favorite vitolas. It must have been well aged because the ones from '03 I'm smoking now are pretty strong :thumbs:
 
Thanks for the review. For whatever the reason, I just can't seem to find one that I can honestly say I enjoyed. I keeping pulling one every now and again in hopes that one of these days I'll see what most everyone else does in this cigar.

I guess that's the beauty of Habanos-----it's not "one-size (taste)-fits-all"!!!

I see where you are coming from. This wasn't a cigar that was suited to my particular taste...but it was good, especially if you like the mild stuff ;)
 
I've found that Punch are not for everyone. In fact it seems that most do not prefer them over most other brands. Though I've only tried a few vitolas in the line I put them sqarely in my top 5. There are times when only a Punch will do it for me.
 
I like them on long weekends, when I'm smoking more than one cigar a day! To me it is a very versital smoke. Not to strong to smoke in the morning. Not to mild to smoke in the evening. It's woody, citrus tones go Great with a Saphire and tonic! :D

Very well put. Many times when I just can't decide what I want I'll grab a PP, PPP, PDC or Churchill. I'm rarely disappointed.
