Popular Post NSXCIGAR Posted August 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2022 Maybe the best all around DC. If not the best then just behind the Lusi. Medium or just under, flavorful, complex. Pretty consistent and reliable. Always enjoyable. Great ones can definitely pull 94-95 points. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightonCorgi Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Adore Punch DC's. Tied for the top with Hoyo, but Punch gets the nod if you're talking about 20+ year old boxes. This is a perfect after dinner cigar. A few of the older boxes I had tended to have more mold than similarly old Lusi or RAG. Not sure why; just my experience. Really earthy and deep flavors. Been out of them for a couple of years and would like another box or two (wink wink). Out of the DC's, I put this one as the long term ager. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a 99 last week and it was good but on the tail end of its shelf life. Have a few more left that will be set on fire soon. No need for more aging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugu Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Like others said, this marks the top of the surviving Prominentes for me. In making, blend, consistency and aging potential. The rest is personal preference: Easily above the Lusi and up there with the RAG. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anacostiakat Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Probable for me, after the Sir Winnie and Lusi right along there. The DC format was a staple until they have become unobtainium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hoze Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I filled this thing out thinking it was HdM DC. I totally get Punch DC, not the HdM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbflash80 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 This is my favorite DC by far and my favorite regular production CC. I'd venture to say that I've smoked 2-300 of these...to me they just get better and better but right now I am enjoying a 2015 cab that is consistently putting out 97-98 pointers... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhalischuk Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Would love to grab more of these. Been getting a lot of toffee flavour out of my 2019 box. Looking forward to seeing how they age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mprach024 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Unlike most of the above this is my least favorite DC. That being said it’s a terrific cigar, I just love all the DCs, but it’s behind Lusi, RAG, HDM. I love a good Punch Punch and as I’d expect this is always a milder version focusing more on the nuttines and earth. Always a good smoke just always thought the other DCs brought something unique to the game where I don’t feel overwhelmed by the PDC. Just my opinion. Still, haven’t bought a bought a box in 2 years, and I’d absolutely love to try a box with the current production quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tstew75 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I don't smoke many DCs anymore, but I do think the Punch is the best rolled in Cuba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CigarZen Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 It’s tough to beat a well aged Punch DC when it’s on. IMO the 98s from a cab were epic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMELTZ Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I love the Punch DC, but the most consistent is the Lusitania. I have good Punch DC’s and and great ones. My best Punch DC ever was this month, but for Lusi’s and RA Gigantes, they are the most consistent cigars I have had over the years. However, this 2021 box of Punch DC’s are amazing and the flavors and burn are like an aged cigar, complex, flavorful and meant to be enjoyed four hours with friends. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackupster Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I have never had one. But I have a box of OER SEP 20 that have been sitting in my wineador for over a year. The two year mark sounds like a good time to try one. I’ll fill out the survey in a few days after I burn one down! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
