AdC Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Who would have thought? It is getting summery after all! Again, we can go out and enjoy our beloved puro during a sultry summer evening. Comrades get together to light a habano. At such times you meet an old love (I'm talking about cigars!). Like this, I lately rediscovered the Punch Royal Selection No. 11. Unexpectedly, a cabinet of this rustic corona gorda was presented and I could not refrain from placing it on my lips. I had forgotten about this cigar and was impressed! After checking some literature, this impression was confirmed: This in 2010 discontinued cigar was in 2010 rated with 4 bands (excellent) by the renowned French cigar magazine L'Amateur de Cigare. Min Ron Nee has also raved about this cigar:"When well aged in a cedar box, this cigar can taste fantastic and exceptionally well balanced. The taste reminds me of sipping a well-aged Scotch whiskey. A favorite insider cigar among Hong Kong people who only buy and smoke exceptional first-class vintage cigarsyet pay ordinary prices " Vahe Gerard, in his book "The World's Greatest Cigars" even makes a culinary suggestion:"This undeniably great Havana's flavorful complexity echoes its architectural simplicity. (...) Savor this great cigar after a meal of grilled sea bass with a fruity white wine, on a fine summer's evening, outdoors. Unforgettable." From time to time you can find this one in cigar shops. The one I smoke was from 2004 and I ordered myself a new box of 2007 (which is also not that bad I presume). Now I only need to find a nice recipe for grilled sea bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
