dicko Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 [ Punch Super Robusto Asia Pacific RE 06 Size - 6 ½" x 50, pretty big but the 50 ring gauge actually felt ok in hand. Big difference between a 50 and 52 IMHO, then say between a 46 and 48 or 48 and 50. Appearance and construction- Couple of big veins but they looked nice. Also, colorado claro colour. Like a very milky chocoloate wrapper. Well built, burned straight throughout, slightly resistant draw (as cuban lovers like). Aroma at cold - barnyard, hints of hay and dried tea leaves. Couple with - Ron Zacapa 23, water. 1st third - roasted peanuts! also a very strong cinnamon through the nose (I love when i cigar has sweet spice through the nose and not just pepper). Medium bodied, in fact it never deviated from the line the whole way. 2nd- my girlfriend had a puff and said she tasted chocolate and coffee bean 'nibs'. She was bang on. the second third brought a nice chocolate and cocao flavour. 70% dark chocolat, still some milk. Also toasted tobacco. Cinnamon through nose remained but lessened about half way. final 3rd- Darker coffee flavours, more chocolate with the cinnamon and roasted nuts of the first third moving in and out. Overall- Easy 92/93. Just a great cigar. Thanks Steve (ozcuban) for gifting this. I had had them before (courtesy of another great FOH member) and remember the roasted nuts but the darker choc flavours and cinnamon through the nose were new to me and really made this a pleasure.
CaptainQuintero Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Nice review man! I've never had one of these but something about them has always given me a fondness for them, I think I love the idea of all that Punch goodness in a vitola like that. Not sure why because I hardly ever smoke big cigars but hey, still looks delicious!
maverickdrinker Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Great review! Punch isn't in my regular rotation but reading this makes me want to try a few to see how they are. Thanks for posting!
phoenix Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 I am truly digging my box of these at the moment :-)
Lotusguy Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Nice review! Picked up a single last week but need to find an uninterrupted block of time for this mutha
tmac77 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 nice review I have a number of boxers of these and would highly recommend them. Will be a classic in my opinion
Bartolomeo Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 06 Punch Super Robusto RE Initial puff is sweet wood, dry cardboard like Construction is great, stored in humi for a month @ 65/65 Aftertaste is straw like like w a hint of sweet peanuts Pretty one dimensional in the beginning 2/3 is more of the same....not a bad cigar just no personality so far Sweet paper like flavor.....not a favorite flavor for me Finishes the same basically Glad I was able to try these bit also glad I dont own any, I am a big Punch fan but this was flat for me Bart
