Punch Super Robusto PCC Regional Release

[El Presidente]

I had one of these late Friday (I hate it when Lise goes away) and was very very pleasantly surprised at how they are coming around.

Has anyone else smoked one over the past two months? Just for scientific purposes.....light one this weekend and report back on your experience. If I find my desk mid week next week I will do a review with Smithy on this cigar. I may have underestimated it.

I have a box and I will burn one this weekend. I smoked these like crazy when they were fresh and they were very good IMO. I have reached for one numerous times recently and then put it back for the fear of wasting a smoke that I think will be stellar in due time.

Looking forward to the various reviews.

Do the Regional Releases have a drastically improved flavor/smoke/quality...or are they more for the novelty and collection?

And how do the regional releases compare to the EL cigars?

I haven't really seen any information addressing this with the search function, so I've been reading a lot of reviews of the 'special stock' that czar presently is offering, and the reviews seem to be mixed.

Didn't get these. Never a big Punch fan, but I did get the 05 Swiss Punch Robustos. Disappointingly bland.
