06 Punch RE Super Robusto

[BigSlick]

Sorry I haven't been contributing much in the last year. I've been lurking a lot and sure have the best intentions to. Life keeps gettin in the way...

My wife and son left for the Joisey shore for the last week so I decided whilst they were away I would partake in smoking as many cigars in the house as I could(it's hotter than **** out right now) and do my best to be a slobbering drunk by each nightfall.

On Friday, I got out the box that houses some of my LE's, RE's and the few 510th cigars I have left. I reached for the Punch and never looked back.

In the past I have been greatly disappointed in all of the Punch I have smoked. Aged or not they seemed to have a sour salty taste that just does not float my boat.

This cigar lacked all of the things I have disliked in my past experiences with Punch.

Pardon the pics, all I had was my cellphone...

First 1/3

Smacked of shortbread, graham crackers and sugar cookies. Loved this part of the cigar!

Second 2/3

Honey, floral notes, and sweet moss with a root beer aftertaste.

Third 3/3

Sweet cookie dough, toast, stewed fruit and good ole fashioned spicy tobacco.

What more can I say than WOW! What a great complex smoke. After 45 minutes of niccups I knew I just had a fantastic cigar journey. I wish I had picked up more of these(Only have 1 left) With the strength I experienced, these cigars will have a great shelf life and I imagine will only continue to get better over the next ten years.

Rob, Lisa, Smithy and even Ken. Hope all is well in your worlds. TD

Thanks for the review Slick. I've a box in hiding and look forward to sampling from it.

Not to speak for Slick, but I believe that is the Cigar Dossier, which is available from our friend Mark at Cigarmony.

Colt is correct. I purchased mine there and am very happy with it.
