today was a full day in fulfilling my civil obligations to my state and county, so it was a full long day, since that was the plan, I grabbed my last two sticks in my humidor (atleast until my order comes in from CBid). These were the Punch Gran Puro and the Rare Corojo.
I smoked the Gran puro first for breakfast with a cup of coffee. I think my stick was too wet, or maybe plugged, I had bad draw and didn't emjoy it much. The flavors were almost absent.
For lunch, I had the Rare Corojo with a larger cup of coffee and a frosted kruller. The Rare corojo complimented my kruller and coffee excellently. There was a strong creaminess that exuded from the stick with each puff, excellent even burn, draw, and it wasn't stagnant (evolving flavors) unlike the earlier Gran Puro. This Rare Corojo (along with the punch magnum, and Gran Puro) I picked up from a punch ambassador event 2 weeks earlier, it has now become one of my favorite smokes along with the regular punch magnum, and the almighty excalibur by HdM.
I might stop by my local tobacconist to pick up another Gran Puro and make sure that my stick was just a dud rather than a consistent let down.
Punch is quickly becoming my favorite brand, even though I am a mild smoker.
edit - I almost forgot the best part, There was almost no nicotine kick from the cigars, no buzz whatsoever. (I feel that the buzz interferes with my smoking enjoyment)
