Punch Punch Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Leslie
I have been smoking for many years and have tried all the usual cigars, for once the description doesn't do it justice...
I enjoyed my Punch cigar in the lovely setting of the Churchill Cigar Lounge on the Cunard ship 'Victoria' and oh what a joy!!! One of the best cigars I have ever smoked. It lit easily, the draw was effortless, it burnt evenly and never went out even after being left for several minutes while I was ordering yet more drinks. There was no bitterness or aftertaste.. For me a great cigar and I will be ordering a box next time not just one...

I tried one of these not expecting much for a £9.49 cigar of its size. I didn't get much either. The wrapper was a bit flakey at one end but not enough to ruin anything. It drew well and the ash stacked up very well. Initially it was peppery with a floral, almost herbal edge which soon gave way to a woody leathery taste which got stronger towards the end. It lasted me just under an hour and a half. Overall, it was kinda mild. Not a bad smoke for the price but I won't get another. I'd rather pay an extra quid or two and get a smaller, better quality cigar.
While this wasn't an unpleasant smoke, it wasn't a particularly good one either, so I'm giving it 3/5. Try one if you like big cigars at low prices but if flavour is your thing, I wouldn't bother with this one. YMMV!

What a fantastic cigar - especially for such a low price tag!
Upon cutting it and testing the airflow I thought it may be heavy on the draw but that has not been the case when lit. Thick satisfying smoke and a rich strong flavour. It's quite reminiscent of the La Flor Dominicana in flavour and a very steady burn. So far I am 40 minutes in with a cup of tea and it's been a real pleasure.
Great service as well - I will return to this one again.

The tobacco is very nice and I was going to order some more tins but since May 2017 it has gone up by nearly £7 !!! So will give it a miss as it's not nice.

As we know these cigars are machine made. One of the issues I've found over many years of buying them, is occasionally you'll find a bad cigar in a batch. I've noticed this particularly with boxes of 50, but even some packets of five. Some are potholed with tiny holes by the machine, making them useless unless you can cut them down, but some have holes throughout the length of the cigar, meaning it has to be binned. Other than that, it's a very mild smoke and I'll continue to buy them here and overseas.
