12DOC Review - Punch Punch 48 – TOS NOV 16

[Jfeath74]

Back in New York and 6 inches of snow has my Hawaiian wedding/honeymoon/vacation seem as little more then a distant memory. That said, the first snow of a season on a Saturday is kind of fun. We had some drinks, cooked some decent food and made a smoking snowman! This was my first Punch 48 and I was pleasantly surprised as it exceeded my expectations. The cigar had a silky wrapper with a milk chocolate hue, firm draw, medium bodied and strength pretty much throughout. Notes of cedar and licorice in the first third, roasted nuts and sweet toasted clove notes in the 2/3 and rough edges that boarderlined bitter on the back 1/3. My experience closely aligned with what I had read on the forum and it seems if a few years can mellow out the last third and more of the nut, licorice, clove notes come through then this will be an upper echelon cigar. Long story short, I didn’t intend to buy these and now after this enjoyable sample I’ll be looking to pick some up!
