Punch Coronations - BUP ABR 19 (M&CRW)

[justince]

While out at an outdoor bar in Fort Lauderdale, I decided to push my luck and bring a stick with me. Glad I did. Bar had some live music playing a variety of rock, from Journey to Queen.

I'm a pretty big fan of the Punch coronations...I know many people sleep on these but I suggest they don't. Heavy, heavy cuban twang with a strong leather flavor and a bit of spice. Great draw and burn, great smoke output. Medium + in body & the strength of this guy actually got to me (probably had to do with me being several beers deep and skipping lunch) and, embarrassingly, I had to vacate the premises for a quick 10 minute walk to get the blood flowing. But I was fine after that.

They're a big sleeper in the Habanos portfolio, if you like the vitola it's a great medium to medium full stick. Nothing crazy complex, but very tasty if you can get them for the right price.

I have a box of petite coronations that have been fantastic.
