Punch Punch JUL 16 (PQDRW)

[JoeyBones777]

This box carries my youngest son's birthmonth and I almost didn't pull one to do this review because I want to have enough sticks to smoke one on each of his birthdays and have 3 left for his 18th so he can smoke one with me and his older brother. Obviously, I've decided to sacrifice one for the possibility of gaining a box so I can keep my hands off these in between birthdays. ?

To the cigar, the 1st third is a sweet spiced cream with a toasted tobacco core and some nuts lilting in and out. Draw and burn are near perfect. 

2nd third the sweetness ramps up and no sign of the nuts from the first third. Sweet spiced cream abounds...it is a cinnamon spice. Not very complex but very delicious. Burn and draw still near perfect. 

Final third, much of the same. The sweetness died down a bit and it is not as creamy but the cinnamon is still there and some earthiness comes in. Not a lot of complexity but very flavorful and very enjoyable smoke with a great aroma. Draw and burn near perfect to the nub.

I thoroughly enjoy the Punch squared and rate it a 93. It'll be interesting to see where this box goes over the next 15 years.? Lord willing, I'll post a review and pic of me and my 2 sons smoking the last of this box on this forum in 2034.?

I'm having a hard time putting it down. Incredibly insightful, interesting, informative and useful to help oneself and others. Great book, indeed!
