Padrino Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 The Monte Open's are selling like hotcakes ? well with the marketing machine bullsh1t pushing it then it's no wonder. This world has gone to hell. The dice are loaded, the table's tilted, and i'm tired of worrying every single year over what will be deleted next. As for Habanos SA, gracias hijos de puta. Thanks for the review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdizzle113 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 It's probably been discussed and I've missed it - but what's with the sobriety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dochowl Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Great review... I've got a couple of the RS12s (that are fantastic), so I'm quite interested to see how the two compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 one of the things this smoke showed to me was that, when you look down the list of deletions and see some faves and some with which there is less familiarity, there are plenty of gems. such a shame this is happening.

Buch0 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Great review guys.. I must admit I have never had any real inkling to try one of these as punch hasn't impressed me as much as some other brands, but this review will definitely change that. They sound delightful.

shrink Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Thanks for the review, guys. The RS#11 is my favorite Punch, by far. Guess it's time to lay down some more stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoyopr Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Great review, I've tried 2 from a box with the same code and both have been just as you stated, still working with a box of 06's which also are great. And although I've never tried a Monte Open, I agree that is really sad that so many truely distinct and top quality cigars have not been bigger sellers, Punch RS11? & SS1, Partagas Corona, Boli Inmenesa, Dip #3, Etc.

TripaLarga Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hi fellas, I'm new to your video reviews and enjoy them greatly. I live in the UK and have a good supplier in Geneva - I spotted that they had boxes of the Punch RS#11 of box code MGT ENE 07. From your review I decided to take a chance and buy a box, having never even actually sampled this particular Punch before. This is some feat, as a full box purchase is rare for me, currently being a poor, recent graduate! What a delightful cigar! Rich box aroma and a dusting of bloom on the wrappers. I have smoked only one as I not long recieved them and they do need a good month plus to regulate to a slightly lower humidity. Everything you guys said was there, I even noticed that "minty" taste Ken mentioned in the opening, though I likened it maybe more to a sort of fresh, green tea. The example I smoked was also medium, rather than medium-full, for the most part, save for the final third which became fuller and, as you say, earthier. The burn and draw were absolutely perfect, giving a very white ash. Construction throughout the box seems impeccable. There was a general and subtle champagne character to the flavour of the cigar. I've only ever experienced this before in rare and very well aged Havanas. I'd like to thank you heartily for leading me to buy these cigars. Happy smoking! PS, on the Montecristo Open - I only tried one example of the Junior, which was as well rolled as it is possible for a cigar of that size, and it was indeed as completely bland as crackers...though not even good to eat with cheese, absolute junk.
