Punch Petite Corona del Punch Feb 07

Another beautiful Florida morning with coffee and a cigar:

Punch Petite Corona OEB Feb 07:

Pre light: Good construction with an oilyish wrapper with some bloom and a firm draw with a little woody aroma.

Light UP: The draw is a little tight through the smoke but the clove taste immediately knocked me in the face. There was also a creamy nutty flavor with a nice medium woody finish. After an inch the clove taste came down some and the nutty taste became prevalent. It continued that way half way through the cigar.

Half way: At this point the clove taste emerged over the wood and the nutty flavors were subsided to a great medium tobacco taste. There were burn problems as well throughout the cigar but those were touched up with no problems.

At the end: With just an inch and a half left the nuts shriveled and the wood came on strong with the clove all but gone. By the end it was all wood and no nuts. Thankfully the aroma of nuts is still fresh all over my face. Seriously though its a great balanced cigar with huge tastes that don't overpower and make you want to smoke another one.

Overall: Exept for the tight draw and burn issues its one of my favorite PCs. I wish I had 3 more boxes of them.

Score: 90/100

Great review. Love the mug, by the way.

Nice review. I love the smell of nuts all over someone's face.

i just smoked an older one of these. Seems like they're taking care of the 07s pretty good. My 04s are only now starting to get decent. After I passed them all out at poker, of course.
