El Presidente Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 At one time I thought them them best of all all Churchills. Sadly, the Churchill lineup is a shadow of what it once was. Nice to see some still around. Does anyone else have fond memories of this lovely cigar? https://www.bondroberts.com/product/view/7801/Punch Churchills 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 You hardly ever see the Churchills in tubes anymore. Monarcas about 50:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKostyan Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Smoked one (2003), very pleasant taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevieboy Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I found a few in Malaga in November past. I bought all I could. Still to smoke one though. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griller Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Oh yes, very fond memories... The Punch Double Corona was pretty fantastic in it's own right, too. Sorely missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightonCorgi Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 In tubo is hard to beat. What's the difference the Churchill and Monarca? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBirdman Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Maybe time for a return via RE once they return Punch to the stable… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliano88 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Many large blends ( SS1,SLRDC,Don Alejandro's,BCG, etc.) are missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else have fond memories of this lovely cigar? https://www.bondroberts.com/product/view/7801/Punch Churchills Nice box. I'm still so nervous about buying older gear due to construction issues - maybe silly of me but would rather drop some money for later gear. Sadly that means I'm missing a whole bunch of super interesting stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightonCorgi Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Punch Churchills usually have a bit of box press to them. I think of the older ones been more mold prone, or is that just me? Not enough to scare me, but seemed like Punch Churchill and DC's were boxes I noticed more mold on that other similarly aged boxes in my humidor.

As someone who's somewhat recently got in to Cubans, it makes be sad the Churchill (which might be my favorite vitola) is no longer available for a few of my favorite marcas - Punch being one of those, Bolivar and SLR being the others. Not sure Trinidad has ever done a Churchill, but what I would give for one of those. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riderpride Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Love those things; always had a hint of mint. Anyone able to speak to how the '98 compared to the '00s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine the cost of cigars have something to do with it for retailer stock. Longer smoking cigars have fallen out of favor. People don't have as much time or would rather have two different cigars in the same time it takes to smoke a Churchill. The longer smoking cigars have become more novelty. 😥 Churchill is one of my favorite vitola's as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
