Popular Post StogieSteve23 Posted April 5, 2020 Popular Post Posted April 5, 2020 Re-visiting the Isla this morning. Last one I had out of the box was on vacation in Colombia back in February. It was not dry-boxed first and when I lit it at the rooftop bar we were at, It was too windy, burned wonky and had some odd flavors. This one was much better. I got nice cedar and black cherry notes throughout most of the stick. Nearly spot on construction with a flawless burn. There was a slight crack (less than 1cm) sized crack up near the head of the cigar. Now into the 2/3 of the stick and the ER band cames off no problem. The Punch band gave me fits. I got impatient and ripped it off slightly overaggressive to the point where after another 10 minutes of holding/smoking it, all but the entire wrapper had a crack going up the side. I proceeded to smoke it for a few more minutes and really did enjoy everything I was getting, despite it feeling like a broken twig in my hand. I ended up putting it down at the start of the final third. Glad I went semi-deep on these as I think they have a nice potential to improve. Personally I am a big fan of the Punch Marca. I hope all of you are staying healthy and safe during this crazy time. 20

Popular Post Hotboxx Posted April 6, 2020 Popular Post Posted April 6, 2020 2424 clearance MEL JUN 2016. from 2 years ago. time to try one. The red wrapper really throws me off. Smoked a lot of these in the 90’s , don’t remember them red. Construction got bad so I haven’t had one in over 20 years. This one is beyond expectations. Draw and burn outstanding. Strength is low but huge clouds of smoke. Perfect cigar for golf(low buzz factor) or give away to someone who really doesn’t smoke cigars(won’t get ill but will really think they’re “ doing it” from the big clouds of smoke. And they’re cheap. Halfway through earthy maybe taffy like sweetness. Damn 26
