I haven't had one of these in a number of years. I always liked them, although I haven't been a big fan of NC Punch across the board. They're usually a little hard to come by at my local B&Ms. This one was the last one on the shelf.
This was a very enjoyable cigar. I clipped it with a smaller draw hole than I usually do for a torp, at maybe a little over 1/4". Lots of coffee and cream flavor, with a pepper that increased smoothly as the cigar progressed. It was never harsh at any point. The ash was soft and white. It burned evenly throughout.
I'll make a point of adding this cigar to my regular rotation. It was one of the best tasting cigars I've had in a long time. B&M prices are around $10, but maybe I'll pick up a box online for less. Overall, I have to say this is a must-try cigar.
