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

I don't usually do reviews as my taste is simple and not much help to most people, ( Cohiba is best.), but I felt my experience was worth sharing.
I had one in my quest to fined a good walking home from work cigar, IE under £9 but good enough to relax with after a long day.
Bingo it was a finger burner with a Coffey. So the next day I ordered a box of ten, witch was a bad move, the box is made of some cheep nasty wood witch has tainted the cigars through there cellophane. I just finished one and they are still a good little smoke but i was getting the taste rewind with overtones of pine pitch or leylandii a real shame.
the other nine will be put in quarantine from my other sticks with the hope that a month on there own will purge the pine out.
I will be buying them again and would recommend them to everyone , BUT 1 Don't buy a box ether get singles or a bundle and 2 Mitchell ether burn all the boxes and never order them again or have them made to a higher stranded.
The cigars deserve a 4/5 but the review gets a 2/5 dew to the box.
