Punch Coronas TSU Sep 2007 (thanks @baragh!)

The Montecristo No.3, Quai d'Orsay Coronas Claro and the Romeo y Julieta Cedros de Luxe No.2 are the last coronas vitolas left in regular production. Once upon a time it seemed every marca had a coronas-sized cigar, but that seems like aeons ago now.

This Punch Coronas was generously gifted to me by Will and was discontinued in 2009. My last Punch marca cigar was a 2018 Punch Punch and I thought it was spectacularly similar to the 2018 FoH Xmas Sampler one I had a few months ago. This Coronas was very close to those, if only because I felt that those two Punch Punch cigars oozed that distinctive Cuban Twang sour citrus tart note throughout, whereas this Coronas had stronger elements of leather to it. Still, this was very, very good and I wouldn't complain if I had a box of these. I'd make sure to rest them a little longer even, if I did!

Thank you kindly. Incidentally, I reflected on this today as I caught up with Trevor Leask, the founder of Cuban Cigar Website. These little mini-reviews began innocently enough as a expression of gratitude for receiving cigars to sample. Some of them have been aged, Limited or Regional Editions, discontinued or simply rare and much sought after. As a result, I figured that the information I gleaned from smoking them would benefit other enthusiasts too.

Leave it with me. I intend to investigate if exporting posts collectively with FoH's technical staff assistance is possible, otherwise, I'll explore other options.

Thanks yah it will be a cool idea I’m sure everyone would love it.

UBM ENE 18 punch punch courtesy of@jeremiep89 This cigar is awesome, a personal favourite. Wish I picked up a 50 cab of these when they were available.
@JohnS is bang on with the flavours of these relatively young PP. Clove, creamy, spice, nut!

Superb RASS TEB MAY 09 from a trade with @NorCalAaron. Started a little rougher than I expected but quickly turned to the RASS you would expect for one with a decade on it. Imagine raisin toast with Nutella. Draw and burn were perfect. My better half joined me and we had some Cab and some aged cheddar on the deck while the snow came down on us. For the record, I’m over the snow for this year. Going to be 18 degrees tomorrow night. Glad I have a conference in Phoenix next week to thaw out.

H Upmann Robusto USE MAY 08. The last from the travel humidor. These have been a very good half dozen cigars - cedar, walnut, touch of cocoa, leather on the retrohale - but despite the rarity value they're there to be smoked and enjoyed. And I obviously still have the beautiful travel humidor to use for years to come. I'd say that if you can still find one, jump on the chance and hang the cost!

Had Montecristo 1935 Dumas from FOH weekday sampler during travelling at Penang. The flavour profile is more powerful and exotic than typical Montecristo cigars which makes it being more unique and special. However, I was a bit annoyed by too many cracks on its wrapper (totally godawful condition ?) that made me had to relight it so many times. Besides, since I was at the Love Lane (pubs, pubs everywhere!!) during that day, the music was too loud and there were too many hookah and cigarette smokes that made me difficult to focus on reviewing this cigar. Will review Leyenda on May for comparison.

Lesson During That Day: Sometimes, it is better to leave the cigar bands until you have to remove them to prevent major wrapper damages.

P.S. I was the only cigar smoker in that area by the way ?...

Cohiba Espléndidos

Again, this cigar has been generously gifted to me by an anonymous benefactor and as it's an Esplendidos I'm again humbled to receive it.

I'm not familiar with the age of the cigar but judging by the older band, the aroma, feel and wrapper quality and shade of the cigar, if I were to compare it to my Esplendidos I'd guess that this was somewhere in the vicinity of 8 to 10 years of age.

It was a tad stronger in strength than I'm used to for an aged Esplendidos, more towards medium-mild. It dominated in mocha coffee core flavours with honey and a smidgen of Cohiba grass/hay. Those stronger flavours masked any citrus, vanilla or butter texture which I found more in abundance in other Esplendidos I've smoked over the years.

I nubbed it to the end because the honey sweetness kept me keenly interested and I remain grateful. After all, it was an Esplendidos.

RyJ Short Churchill.  Inspired by the offering on 24:24.  SMA Jun 17. Great construction and burn and smoking great now. First from the box.

Needed to clean old stock Olivia Série V Belicosa sun grown pretty solid. Coffee , woody, spice and smooth. Medium to full and great draw. Paired with a dry aged NY strip and Ribeye. And of course and axe man. If you don’t know about the axe man do yourself a favor and buy a four pack
