Punch Sir David Review

[PaulPower]

A special thanks to our hosts for providing me with these wonderful sticks. Honestly, the first contest I can remember winning in a long time.

 

I don’t have a lot of high end cigars in my collection, mostly middle tier Cubans, so I put these away for a special day. And a week ago I welcomed my second daughter, Penelope, into the world. The time is right...

 

Got them around November and in the humidor they sat (67F, 65%RH). Dry boxed for 8 hrs at 50%, mostly to dry out the wrapper because it is humid here in Austin. Enjoyed with some Woodford Reserve while the sun set with some good friends.

 

Cold draw: hay and fresh tobacco, with a bit of ground coffee

 

First: Sourdough toast, café au lait, twang, and shortbread.

 

Second: drip coffee with milk, twang calming down, suddenly moving to dark chocolate and espresso. A bit of spice is starting to show. “Taste like not too much burnt **** coffee.” -Dr. H. He clarified that this is a positive thing.

 

Final third: spice is really coming out, And everything is getting progressively darker. Fruitcake, cinnamon, white pepper, clove, chocolate biscuit. I nubbed it down as far as I could.

 

Overall a phenomenal smoke. The only other cigar I have regular smoke in this format is the Lusitania, and this was much more complex and enjoyable. That being said, I’m not sure I would pay $50 for it, but everyone has their own budget.

 

Thanks again to Rob And Dee!

Congratulations on the second daughter. Our two daughters are best of friends.

Ive smoked a couple and both have been phenomenal...the price tag is steep and the work to find them steeper...but they are certainly memorable in my opinion.  Last one I had two weeks ago with a glass of Dewars 25...a great combo...

Thanks for the review!

Congratulations on the new addition to your family

I know more than a few people who would pay a lot more than $50 if offered. Few cigars are white whales upon release. This was.

Fair. It was delicious. And very generous of prez to give them away.

Just got a box in today. Will try to give it a year from stamping date, but this review is encouraging. Thank you! And what a great way to welcome Penelope! Might use the idea and light the first one when my daughter turns 3. Thanks again!

Awesome. Super jealous! I recommend a bit of dry boxing, it probably could have use a day or two. Out of curiosity, what’s the box code?
