Punch Double Corona TUP OCT 14: Ode to the 47 to 52 gauge review week

[Guest Nekhyludov]

Dimensions: 49 x 7 5/8"

Box Code: MUR MAR 13

Cigars have a beautiful chocolate wrapper with characteristic red hue. Starts out with a slightly firm draw and thin smoke, but dead even burn. Right away the flavor is complex, with a leather base and notes of fig and vanilla cream. The aroma is full of precise black cherry, almost completely distinct from the tobacco. Flaky gray/white ash.

The second third develops a pleasant light peppery profile and an aroma of fresh greens. Final third has a slightly too-firm draw, but develops existing profile and imparts a long, oily finish. A stout and striking exemplar of the Cuban prominente. 

Score: 97

Fantastic looking ash. Your description makes me desire a Punch DC right now!
