Punch Short De Punch UTL SEP19 ( VVR#1)

I first tried one of these from a prize sampler I won from our host, I really enjoyed it so I purchased a box of 10. I feel these are really different profile from a Punch Punch. I grabbed the one with a slight cracked foot, however construction was spot on. This cigar has a beautiful aroma, I was getting slight cedar, nuttiness, like creamy peanut and roasted almonds. I was getting a slight taste of young tobacco. A buddy of mine told me to age these so I’m not touching them for another year. The cigar was medium body. I’d rate it a 90 and has the potential to age beautifully.

I love Punch more and more every day,  but I have a terrible feeling it will not last.   I think 2019 and 2020 it a real high point of production, and those like myself who really enjoy the blend should buy heavy, and make hay.

2015-2016  was papery lifeless and a real low point for the marca.   I now it's not a popular brand, but when it hits it's straps (like now) , it's pretty hard to beat.
