Punch Punch: Stopwatch Corona Gorda Review

[Guest Nekhyludov]

Box code: SOM OCT 15 Cab 50

Cigars are perfectly uniform with a neatly rounded head and a flawless, toothy Colorado wrapper that has visible oil crystals. Beautiful. Upon lighting, the draw is firm, but full and the combustion is even and cool. The ash is gray/white and flaky. The flavor is deeply and satisfyingly leathery with a prominent walnut note. The aroma is earthy, with a pleasant sea salt aspect.

In the second third, a deep, fresh, vegetal sweetness emerges with a floral overtone. There is also some black pepper and mint in the aroma. This cigar offers waves of evolving, complex flavors. 

Smoked while grilling some steaks at my parents house - visiting to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Smoked unusually quickly. 

Score: 86th percentile

Nice review, and happy anniversary to your parents - major milestone at 50 years. I'm just about to celebrate my 26th next month, I hope I'm still around to celebrate my 50th with my dear and wonderful wife.
