Today: Punch Petit Coronation  Tubos 40 × 117 mm (4⅝″)

I find the  Punch Petit Coronation Tubo to be a reliable, medium-bodied Cuban classic. Its earthy, cedar foundation is excellent, blending into a smooth, creamy, earthy finish with some toasted almond notes. Light savoury spices nuance in and out for me. It is a straightforward, not overly complex cigar that brings enough personality without overpowering in any way.

Petit Coronations, Royal Coronation, Coronations. Incredibly underrated. Very reliable in regard to construction blend consistency and flavour. I miss being able to go through international airports and grabbing a handful of these cigars on the way through. One of the cheaper Cuban cigars you can pick up in Australia that won't let you down. I love them.

I love these for what they are, a good quick smoke that I can always count on. I love this size because it fits so many moments where I try to squeeze a quick cigar in. Cheap enough that if I run out of time, I don’t get too worried putting it out early. In my experience, you can never go wrong with Punch.

I love cheap tubos and these used to be one of my staples. All gone now but when I had these, I used to just set them in the bottom of the coolidor and forget about them. I picked one up at ~ 13 years old and wow, what a great cigar. I also opened one at 6 years old and it was terrible. They used to be so cheap that you didn't care.
