Tres Petit Coronas - Who has tried them, Thoughts?

[ChanceSchmerr]

Hey Everyone,

I have a Navy buddy travelling to Liverpool, UK soon, and through him I have a chance to pick up a few Punch Tres Petit Coronas and ERDM Tres Petit Coronas. I've never seen either cigar before since they are long discontinued, but since I'm a discontinued-crazed guy, I'm curious to try them.

Before I approve the purchase - has anyone on here tried either of those cigars? If so, what were your thoughts on them - are they worth the coin to try?

Thanks guys! Much Appreciated!

I LOVE Punch Tres Petit Coronas, assuming that is what they are. The classic TPC is a Franciscano (rather than the Petit Punch Deluxe) which is a Perla. Very rich cigar. My boxes are ten years old. Beware of the ERDM. A lot of those boxes are funny looking with the Tres Petit Corona sign superimposed over something else.

There can be some pretty dodgy stuff floating around Liverpool.......just a slight warning.

I love the Punch Petit Punch - These are the TPCs I think - something different to try in a small cigar!

Interesting that you mention that about the ERDMs...the source quoted a box date of 2007 for the ERDM TPCs.....which I KNOW can't be right because they were discontinued in 1999.......and I really don't want re-named Lunch Clubs or Demi Tasses, because I've already tried those!

The Punch Très petit corona is (was) a minuto, not a franciscano.

Thanks for the correction, Franck. I can always rely on the French to get it right when the Americans cannot.

The TPC is a different cigar that the Punch Petit Punch and the Petit Coronas Del Punch.

Also I have had no problems with draw even from 01s.
