Punch petite coronas 2003 box (XNYRW)

How many years is too many years for a cigar? Turns out, for this one, roughly 16 years. Picked this up from a trusted vendor about 4 years ago and they were smoking fairly well at the time. Stupid me says, I'd they're so good now they gotta be better in 5 more years, so back into the humi they went. Sadly I seem to have missed the prime spot for these puppies. I recall when I first had one they had a nice spice cake and cream flavor, with a faint saltiness on the back end. Now they just taste used up and bland. 

FWIW construction and burn were perfect. I am putting them back down for another 18 months to see how they develop again. Hopefully they make a comeback, as I recall really enjoying them when they were on. This one would be lucky to score an 82 and only does that well because of the construction and perfect burn.

Sorry to hear these are past their prime. I picked up a '98 from a box pass that I was looking forward to. I hope it still has some life left.

I hope so too. I am going to revisit one of these in 18 months or so. Maybe they will bounce back.
