Punch Punch UBM JUL 17 : Consistency Test Review

[jmg]

Got this box about 3-4 months ago and had my 1st one from the box about 2 weeks ago. despite only a short rest, it smoked wonderfully, easy 87-88 points.

 

Lit my 2nd one from the box tonight. Started off with some fresh baked bread and sweet cream, not quite hoyo cream but good nonetheless. i get some floral notes not quite like the RG marca, very light but definitely present. the bread and cream start to disappear in the 2nd third and is replaced by leather and wood. final third brings on some light milk coffee notes. overall, a good cigar again. i pretty much got a spot on same experience as the one from 2 weeks ago. there were spots where the flavor was empty and burn was on and off wonky, but i attribute that to youth. if this box improves just a little from here and keeps the consistency of the 1st 2, I'll be a very happy camper.

Very good review.I think smoking a punch punch less than two years is a waste.

I think that was very true in the past but since 2013/14, the right Punch Punch n 25's  have been smoking wonderfully young. 

Excellent review.

I know "slow smoking" is trendy, but I can usually kill one in about an hour.

1st post!  Don't flame the noob lol. 

I like the 16 vintage so much, I bought 3 boxes. Smoking so very smooth & creamy @ age 2. Can't speak to any previous vintages.
