Punch Punch Cigar - 1 Single
by Josh
I’m fairly new to smoking cigars (just thought I’d throw that out there):
First of all the cigar produced good amounts of white smoke.
Deep earthy rich flavours throughout with significant increases of sweet notes. Consistent flavour (no pepper).
The cigars structure was disappointing, pronounced seams, tunneling and a crack where the band was, although this did not affect the smoke much.
The cigar for me was at the top end of medium on the scale. I prefer a lighter smoke as this was too much for me but if your a more experienced smoke you may enjoy this.
Overall I would say I’m going to stay away from this cigar until I have enhanced my palate and developed my taste. Hope this helps a little.

Whilst everyone seems to be busy talking about the Series D No.2, this, for me, was the standout cigar for me during a recent trip to Havana. Fabulous construction, even burn and flawless draw comprising mouthfuls of Partagas' earthy, peppery flavours. A must smoke.

This is such an underrated cigar in my opinion, at at least I don't believe it gets the praise it deserves.
A great way to spend 45 minutes to an hour, simply put.
Expect a medium strength smoke, with a consistent, non offensive experience from start to finish.
Yes, the flavours are a little one dimensional with no real development, but the chocolate, earth and slightly peppery tones are a delight to behold.
I brought 15 of these back with me from Havana and think they'll only get better with age.
Yes, you can probably get a bigger smoke for your money, but give one a try and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised

Por Larranaga Picadores Cigar - 1 Single
by Austin
These cigars have really improved with a little age, becoming more complex and balanced. Opening on the mild side for a Havana, the first third was predominantly lovely soft woody flavours with a slight pepper through the nose and a little cream building up, rather like a good El Rey del Mundo. Into the second third the flavours really opened up displaying some of that Por Larrañaga caramel sweetness and hints of citrus fruit, becoming more creamy and certainly a solid medium body. The final third still retained all those flavours but had a little more gentle exotic spice and strength, though started becoming hot by the last inch, which should soften out with a bit more age and there still seems to be a fair bit of room for the subtleties to come out more in a few years. The appearance and construction were excellent with a razor straight burn, wonderful easy draw with just a gentle resistance and a solid ash that held on for an inch or so at a time.

Partagas Shorts Cigar - 1 Single
by James
Superb. Fullness and quality, without any harshness in a small package. I thought Partagas would be too strong for me. I was wrong.
