Last night I pulled a punch ss#1 out of the humi. Punch has been hit or miss. I'm not sure I really like the flavor profile. The Black prince was nice, but the punch punch just didn't do it for me. So I figured I'd give this guy a try.
Measures 6 inches by 42 ring guage. unbanded. I have to say that the construction on this stick was immaculate. Perfect as a cigar can be. The burn was steady throughout and never needed a touch up. The draw was easy, maybe too easy. I didn't have to work at all to pull up some smoke.
Upon first lighting up, I was hit with some very powerful flavors. It started off like a rocket for about the first half inch and then it settled down. I think every flavor imaginable existed at some point during this cigar. But, nothing lasted for a long time. Went from spicy, to woody, to a slight creaminess. Very interesting from beginning to end.
I only have 2 of these left and I'm excited to have another one and see if it settles down with one flavor or if it ends up being a roller coaster like this one.
This was a very, very good cigar.
