Punch punch unknown year (NRW)

[dominattorney]

These are from this one box, a box of tent poles and disappointments, that I threw out to make more space for other better boxes. I think i have 3 left from this box, most likely from 2016. Perhaps it could be age, but I am too impatient to wait on them to mature  

Cold draw is....nonexistent. apply a perfect draw 1, 2, 3 times. Pretty tight, but it will do. Problem is you have to pull so hard to get any smoke development that it runs the experience. The wrapper splits about an inch in. Better to just toss this rather than struggle through another hour long reverse trumpet solo. Dizzy Gillespie could smoke these. Maybe. Ironically listened to his solo from and then she stopped when I tossed it. Pretty good stuff and definitely the highlight of the smoking experience. 2.5 stars

I had right punch punches from the same box. I don’t know why, but the hard box press probably works against you as well. But I like this cigar. When it’s on, it’s such a good flavor. Like a dessert.

had this same issue with at least 3 different 6 packs, was my first thought for this review too. maybe had 3-4 out of those that weren't plugged beyond even the help of a perfecdraw

I also have a 2017 box of this cigar that is outstanding. For whatever reason, the other box has just been cursed.
