Popular Post Chas.Alpha Posted January 4, 2021 Popular Post Posted January 4, 2021 Ok, I threw a “should I or shouldn’t I” thought out to my FOH last week. One of the stellar looking boxes that I’d brought back from Havana in 2019. One dream of mine is that (as a construction worker of modest means) I could finally have a selection of quality Habanos. Are these ready? Do they need a few more days? ? Something of a flight of fancy... Thanks to CigarCzar, I have enough stock to start playing with the big boys! Thus: The Punch DC looks like a thoroughbred coming out of the box! Oily wrapper, perfectly matched. If this box had ever made it to Rob’s sorting room, I question whether we’d have seen it before 2027 BR! Stunning! Cold draw/preflight is wonderful. The construction on these is amazing. A balance that I haven’t seen in a CC for some years. It has a center of gravity. From the starting gate: Immediate flavors of nut, wood, cane, coffee and a bit of bread pudding. This must be a dream that I am having? 2nd/Half: Nope. I’m awake. This is a perfect smoke. The flavors blend, but are also distinctive. Nutty and some cocoa as well. Whoever the MasterBlender is is arguably worthy of a Nobel prize of some sort! Delightful!!! 3rd/home: It’s like you want for these very distinct flavors to marry, but they don’t. They just get stronger and progress their way through the rest of the cigar. It is what I consider brilliant! Conclusion: This is a classic! Will they be better in the future? I’m betting on it. I will burn one on both the Summer solstice and the winter... Stay tuned for 12 more years!!! I 8
Kaptain Karl Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Great review man!! I have a box just like yours from 2020 so this got me excited to crack it open! 1
ReturnFreeRisk Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Great review! thanks for posting this. And I think your last leaning was that you WERENT going to do it! Lucky you. Chicago weather likely wont permit me to smoke a DC comfortably for a while so that I can chime in with a hopefully similar review, but now I can wait to crack into my UGO OCT 18 boxSent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1
StogieSteve23 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Great review and thanks for posting! One of my top sticks from 2020 was a 2016 Punch DC. Absolutely wonderful stick that left me wanting more. 1
