Punch punch unknown box and year (PQWRC)

[dominattorney]

Good morning all,

      I am writing this as my wife recovers from the mother of all hangovers following a good friends wedding. Lovely scenery at his acreage in the woods, great weather and good friends called for a great cigar. I have about 8 punch punch left from a box split about 18 months ago. My buddy kept the box so I am unable to speak to the pedigree of this baby.

Construction looks great, wrapper has a nice sheen and draw is pleasant. Aroma at cold is tobacco and hay.  The burn is pretty good on this stick and the first third is nice and earthy with a hint of salinity that comes and goes. I am catching up with my old work mates so I dont focus as much in the cigar as I pribably should have, but such is life. 

Second third sees the salt profile die down and it is replaced by a dark chocolate note. Burn continues to be solid throughout and the smoke production is good. 

The flavors got lost in the final third of the smoke however. I was only really able to taste tobacco and earth. The nicotine buildup left a sharpness on the palate and I tossed it after about an hour and 15 minutes. All in all a great cigar. It would have been nice if it didnt get all tarred up on the back end, but this didn't ruin an otherwise enjoyable experience. 90 out of 100
