Maron76 Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 I received my '09 Box of HQ Punch Punch today. I have tried these before and thought they were OK from what I remember. When I opened these bags I couldn't believe it, I thought I had died and gone to heaven! It smelt like I had opened a bag of dark chocolate. The aroma was sooooo intoxicating. My wife walked into the room while I was putting these back in their proper place and asked where I was hiding the chocolate covered raisins. I just smiled and handed her one of the bags. She said that she just may have to try one. Now that my friends is a complement of the highest order! Usually she just rolls her eyes. Back into the chest freezer/humi for a bit. Boy it sure will be hard not to sample one of these early. I will try to post a few pics later on.
NJP Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 It's a good day when new arrivals make it home to the humidor, it's an even better day when the Boss(wife) is Supportive with it. Enjoy
ZAZ Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 The Punch Punch are on my short list to snag one day. Thanks for sharing!
gersonmorelli Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Punch Punch used to be one of my favourite smokes back in the early 2000's. Not sure why I stopped smoking them. The last one I tried was a couple of 2003s last year that were very good. Medium body with a lot of wood and nutty characters. Maybe it's time to revisit recent production.
Vortigan Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Yeah I just love delivery day!! like a big kid at Xmas! Eagerly awaiting a box of PSD4 just now.Sounds like you've got yourself some beauties there...enjoy my friend.
bc8436 Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 I haven't had a Punch cigar in a while, probably a year or two. I just picked up a couple of Punch Punch tubos, so hopefully they'll turn out to be something special as well.

Used to be one of my favs.
tmac77 Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Punch have, in my opinion, have consistantly turned out one of the best Corona Gorda's, under various names (Black Prince, Super Selection #2, Royal Selection No 11) for many years.

Dbone Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Congrats brother. The Czar boxes smell SO great, smoke even better.
Barefoot Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 I hear a few rumors that the quality of Punch has declined over the last few years; then again I hear they are great lately. Anyone care to express an opinion?

ksblazer Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 The last Punch Punch I smoked was a 2006 single that was gifted to me. It was a very good cigar IMO. Would like to see a review about the recent production of them as well.
El Presidente Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 I'd like some insight on this as well. The current Punch Punch shipments are the best in years. This is in construction, overall quality/wrapper and flavour. Too early to call a comeback but every comeback needs a start

jdbrown Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Ive gone thru two boxes of Punch Punch Tubo's and they are better than my 06 Cab! Im out so need to grab another 10ct.
