I purchased a couple of these (along with a 10-pack of Partages Cigarillos) about 3 months ago and put them safely in my humidor. I decided to let them 'age' for a while prior to lighting one up. And I feel it was worth the wait.
After clipping the end I found a very delightful cigar. Not too heavy on the palate with a subtle blend of chocolate, woody undertones and cool burn makes this an exceptional smoke (I enjoyed this with a rather lovely 18 year old Highland malt) that didn't overpower my taste buds or disappear my drink. About 25-30 minute smoke that was slightly hard on the draw but wasn't eye popping (like some cheaper cigars). The burn was nearly even but the ash held on like a limpet but fell easily when knocked.
As the cigar burnt down the draw got easier bur never too hot, and the flavour got slightly more intense, but never overpowering.
Overall this is a fantastic smoke that remains fairly level and enjoyable all the way down. And I am about to order more to store for my infrequent smoke.
Highly recommended!

What an absolute pearler of a smoke! I've had several machine made cigars in my time but never a real one before today. After a dismal first foray with another brand of cigar I had a break of an hour or so and a hearty meal before a second attempt with the Punch Petit Coronations Tubed Cigar. Without the requisite experience to properly qualify this cigar I'll simply say that it worked and worked well.
A lovely aroma out of the tube and a satisfying, quality feel in the hand and mouth. It cut very cleanly in spite of my inexperience and while it took some time to light (newbie nerves) it lit evenly and well. The draw was easy and cool with plenty of smoke. With no real benchmark for the flavours produced I'll just say that it was interesting and pleasant, changing from light and easily overpowered by black IPA in the first half to richer and spicier in the second where it easily held it's own.
White Zinfandel certainly worked as a catalyst in the first third but quickly lost it's edge as the flavour of the cigar developed.
A great smoke, even for a newbie, definitely on my 'appro

Very impressed with these little cigarillos and they could easily become my new lunchtime indulgence. For just over 50p a stick, they smoke exceptionally well, never getting too hot and the ash holds on for a decent amount of time for such a small stick. The aroma emanating from the pack is that of chocolate and vanilla, very sweet and creamy. This carries onto the palate well with a distinct chocolate presence and a lovely sweet smelling smoke. There is some spiciness on the retrohale that compliments the dessert like quality nicely. Not a great deal of aftertaste, but plenty of enjoyment during this 10/15 minute smoke. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quick, cheap lunchtime treat.

I've had a couple of these recently and they're let down in terms of consistency. The first was very rich and tightly rolled but happily still smoke-able. The second was far paler and a little too loose for my preference. Neither were terrible but I don't feel that I could recommend them to friends. As such I can't really get excited about them which is a shame as outside of a belicosa the robusto is by far my favourite vitola.

Fantastic Cigar! Thick voluptuous creamy smoke which coats the entirety of your mouth and is an absolute pleasure is placed alongside tastes of coffee and nuts. The formation of the stick is almost perfect with only a slight hitch in the burn but as the stick progresses this evens out. Around an hours smoke (if you can keep it out of your mouth long enough). If you are thinking of buying this cigar then do...but not them all as it's one which i will be purchasing again! 9.5/10

Give this cigar a go, It was bought for me as a novelty but I really enjoy it and now get them regularly.
