Before I get into this review deeply, I now understand why people smoked aged cigars, few notes before we dive in: 1. I had a friend guide me and teach me 2. I found it a religious and sanctimonious experience so for the future I'd probably do it alone , It's a cigar that demands your attention and time, perfect for a quiet evening where the focus is on the smoke itself. The Review: 1st Third of the Cigar (Initial Impression) The Punch Churchill 1998 I had was stored under Ideal conditions, I'm greeted with an easy draw and a burst of earthy tones mixed with a subtle hint of spice. The initial flavors are woodsy and robust, setting the stage for a promising journey. There are hints of Cedar and pepper but only briefly 2nd Third of the Cigar (The Heart) The flavors on the second 3rd evolve gracefully giving way to a more complex blend of leather and a hint of coffee. The smoke becomes creamier, and a sweet, nutty undertone becomes more pronounced, balancing the earlier earthiness perfectly. The burn remains even and consistent. my friend and guide - also took me through the process of teaching on how not to draw too fast or too slow and slowly relish it as I was a newbie to this 3rd Third of the Cigar (Finishing Strong) Entering the Dragon - the Punch Churchill 1998 reveals its full character. Deeper Flavours, notes of earth and leather culminate in a rich, more intense profile. There's a noticeable increase in strength, yet it doesn't overpower the refined blend of flavors. It's a crescendo, but not overwhelming, delivering a satisfying end to this amazing smoke. Tasting Notes & Overall Impression From start to finish, the Punch Churchill 1998 for me was a journey of evolving flavors and complexity. Notes for me: earthy, woody, leather, coffee and nutty sweetness. The balance is impeccable, with each third offering a distinct yet harmonious experience 7
