Great looking Punch Punch wrapped in milk chocolate. Just like a photoshopped one, no veins, no teeth, pure and silky. Firm to the touch with no soft spots at all. Pretty tight draw after a 7mm punch. Thinking about to cut with guillotine to open it up. Well I give it a try first. Cold draw is fresh cedary tobacco and pepper and spice. Very promising. Easy to light with wooden matches. Woody, light spicy, sweet core to begin with. Tasty. I could enjoy more smoke output so still thinking about the guillotine cut. I taped the beautiful white and grey ash at around an inch in then showed it to my guillotine. Heureka. Opened up perfectly and now giving me more smoke output. The sweet wood notes are very entertaining. The sweetness won the battle in the first third just to slowly fade away and give the throne to the woodiness in the second one. However it is still coming back time to time just not to fall into oblivion. Toasted tobacco showed up for a good company to the dry woody taste. They are walking around hand in hand on my palate. Over the halfway point some nice spice mix is kicking in. It is trying to knock out the woodiness to take the first place in the last third. I'm looking forward to see what happens next. The mixture of the spice is so good. I want this to win. Well no clear winner at the end. Or yes, I am because all the flavors are in. Sweetness again, woodiness, spices, milk chocolate, toasted tobacco, hints of nutmeg. Wonderful combo fighting on my palate. Pretty even burn all the way down to the nub. No touch-ups needed. (though I made some unnecessary cosmetics) Smoking time 120 minutes. 93 points without thinking about it. Detailed scoring: Appearance and construction: 15/15 Flavor: 23/25 Smoking characteristic: 23/25 Overall impression: 32/35 I have to apologies for all the mistakes I made. I am not a native English speaker. I am not a reviewer either by any means. In fact this was my first ever cigar review just to participate for those aged goodies ;-) Thank you Gents P
