I am really sad to say me and this particular vitola haven't really had a great relationship. After giving it 3 attempts I had to declare this one a 'one-to-forget' cigar. I have a lot of respect for Partagas and have given a few other vitolas the time of day to re-instate a love for one of the most recognisable brands. (SerieD5 Limited Ed & Serie PNo.2 have both been FANTASTIC!).
I'd definitely need some convincing about these. The tastes were too earthy, too harsh and a bit too bitter for me, in all 3 sticks. I've seen really great reviews of these cigars. This goes to show the true beauty of the cigar community, I love how everyones pallet takes to different notes and flavours and truly respect this highly popular cigar.
Thanks for reading,

I'm a relative novice smoker , I've smoked for a while but am just now at the stage where I'm buying and storing cigars as well as smoking them as opposed to just "buy-smoke-repeat". What to say about the Punch Coronations? Visually this isn't an enormous cigar but it's certainly perfectly formed. While not having experienced a full range of different draws yet, I found this a very easy cigar to smoke. On lighting, the thick, white smoke billowed and almost filled the room on the first draw, the burn was even from end to end and the cigar didn't need relighting or any mid-smoke maintenance. The flavour started off quite mild, with almost a taste of how leather smells (if that makes sense), earthy and satisfying without being overpowering. Within about the first 1/3 of the cigar the flavour developed and I could pick up coffee notes with a not-too-spicy element which caught my palette with a bit of the sensation you'd experience after eating a lot of chocolate, dry yet somehow moist at the same time, but again - not unpleasant. All in all, I think this is a superb cigar for the money

Fantastic Robusto one of my favourites with the Hoyo Epicure No2. Always keep a few of these in my humidor. I find them a really nice morning smoke and I have never had any quality issues with the D4. Lovely draw, lots of smoke and aroma. A great cigar....

This has marched straight into my top 3. What a great smoke, You dont have to wait till the last third to get the nice spice flavour, its there from the start. and when you do get to the final third it will blow you away with the flavours. I didnt want this cigar to finish. Would recomend this Partagas to anyone.

I bought this on the offchance of finding a cigar with that little bit extra , and got one of the best tasting cubans I've had so far .It is a great buy , the band came off easily with not wrap break or unwinding , easy to light and draw excellant mild taste of cinnemon throughout , stuck in the holder halfway down and smoked down to the stub outstanding quality.
