bassman Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Nice review. I'm not a big fan of the Punch line, but of what's currently produced, to me these are the best. Along with the Black Prince, the only Punch I have more than one box.
Evo03 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Thanks for the review. I've got the same boxcode myself. I'll have to try one soon.
deltatango Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Wonderful review, but the perfect finishing touch is that flammable hazmat label on the cardboard box :-D
El Presidente Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Fantastic Review. I had three of these over the course of the weekend (fishing). Simply delightful and I kept going back. You nailed the description of the best Petit Corona I have had this year.
mkz Posted October 6, 2008 Author Posted October 6, 2008 Speaking of Punch PC. Whats the deal with the name? Is there any difference between the "regular" Petit Corona and the "Del Punch"? I can see on Trevors site that the regular was discontinued 2002 and only the Del Punch is in production. So why is the name on my box only Petit Coronas? On the Czar webpage they are named "del Punch". Weres the glitch? Or is it same same but different? Great smoke however, just curious...
Van55 Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I can't remember the source, but someone kindly shared one of these with me, and I smoked it just the other night. I found it to be a surprisingly good petit corona and it made me think about investing in a box when the embargo ends.
bassman Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I got a box of this code from the lovely Lisa. Says Petite Coronas on the box. I also have a box of 06 PC del Punch & they taste about the same. I'd say it's the same cigar. Then you also have the RS12- another Punch Petite Corona, but those definitely have a different profile.
El Presidente Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 We inquired about the differences in name and were told they were the same cigar.
greenpimp Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Very nice review. I smoked one of these back to back with a RS#12 the other night. Will have to post the review. Loved both the cigars, but the sweetness you commented on was definitely prevalent in the Del Punch.
mkz Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 This is the second I smoke from a box of 25. The first one was tested a few months ago and was plugged as hell and tasted nearly nothing. In other words: Take two... Prelight taste is tobacco and fudge with a perfect draw. 1/3 First draw unleash lots of smoke with a sweet, sweet taste of tobacco. As I draw smoke the cigar makes some delightful crackle and pop sounds. The taste is calm and somewhat mellow. But yet it feels like it has something great coming up ahead. Sweet notes of tobacco and some cedar is coming up. Man! I´ve never felt such a sweet sensation from a cigar before. It´s like candy for adults. The smoke is plentyful and the burn is somewhat off without being a problem. A Taste of pure wood emerge and lurks around between the tobacco/fudge fusion. It relaxes me. So far this PC is like a tender kiss. 2/3 Wood and tobacco in an enticing mixture. Its getting a little bit stronger. Not much. Only one "click" up the scale. The sweetness remains like a dream covered in woody smoke. Licorice pops up in the back of my mouth. It mixes up great with the woody/tobacco/fudge sensations. The licorice disappears and is replaced with a dry taste of nut (No, Rob. Not peanutbutter). 3/3 Its definitely stronger now. I purge and more nut appears. The sweetness is almost gone and the nut transform into almond. No sweetness at all left. Its getting spicier. Almond and tobacco is ruling the last inches. For the first time of this smoke I can feel that its still a young one. Mostly almond with a bitter twist. With about 3cm left I feel a burn on my tounge and I decide to toss it before it ruins my pleasant experience. This is were the "magic" happens... EDIT: Forgot the score... 91/100 and everything points to an even higher score in a year or two.
