Late in the night @Fuzz lit up the same vitola and remarked what a good pick-up this was earlier in the year. I merely nodded in agreement, for there was little more I could add to his affirmation.

No, there was plenty more you could have said. With all the noise from the music playing in the background, I thought you were just nodding because you didn't have a freakin' clue what I had just said, and were being too polite to ask me to repeat myself.

Punch 8-9-8 2018 - Edición Regional Asia Pacifico LMB Jul 2019

So what is all this fuss with the latest Asia-Pacific Regional Release, the Punch 8-9-8? Why all the hype? Why should you seek this cigar out? Questions, questions, questions...

The Punch 8-9-8 is the 2018 Regional Edition for the Asia-Pacific market. What is exciting about it is its dimensions, 43 ring gauge by 170 mm (or 6.7 inches) in length, an uncommon dalias of which the only two regular production cigars, the Cohiba Siglo V and the Partagas 8-9-8 are produced sparingly at the current moment, and this despite the fact that they are global brands.

Now, beside its vitola dimensions, the packaging for this product has broken tradition in relation to its name. You see, an 8-9-8 cigar is so named because it usually comes in a (varnished) cab ribboned with eight cigars at the bottom, nine cigars in the middle and eight cigars at the top. Well may some of you say why not a 3-4-3 varnished cab. Since when has Habanos S.A. listened to consumers anyway? However, in this case its the Regional distributor who decided to bring this out in a glorious varnished 10-count box with a clip or latch. I hear you though...if only this came ribboned in a 8-9-8 partition in a cab!

How was this cigar in regards to other Punch cigars? For me, it strongly replicated the Punch 48 Habanos Specialist release from 2016. It had strong notes of roasted peanut and citrus with a touch of chocolate fudge or marshmallow. The marked difference was the strength, which for me was around medium and the slight hint of baking spice at the start and floral notes in the middle.

At four months old, it had its construction issues as it was a little 'wet'. It needed re-touching a few times as it went out but at least the retrohale was easily the most pleasant I've experienced in a young cigar for some time, and as you may know, I'm not inclined to retrohale every cigar, but for this one I gladly did multiple times.

If you are amenable to Punch as a marca then I'd suggest you seek this out and do so within the six to twelve month window that these are around.

My first Diplomaticos. What a treat. Sweet, creamy, and tiny bit of spice. This is a good one!

Last 3 days, all awesome cigars.

'18 E2 that was just, wow.

 

At a buddy's house Friday evening. I had the Padron 6000. Supercharged Montecristo.  I was impressed. Buddy had one of my '18 Coloniales. Said it was fantastic, cake/creme brulee/latte flavors.

 

Now, '18 San Juan that's just under medium, light medium so far. Flavors are all there, very pleasant smoke for a sunny day with a coffee.

Meh... don’t know what all the fuss is about with this cigar.

BHK 52. Had my son’s first birthday party today. Somehow that is more stressful than a wedding should be. Ready for beers and football.

Johnny O "WF BH 54"

At the suggestion of @MigsG I dug out this Johnny O sampler I picked up a while ago.  Supposedly they are Jan 19.  This was pretty good.  Not a Cohiba, but pretty good.  Excellent construction/burn/draw.

Good night

2017 LE Punch tonight. I thought this thing was going to be a little firecracker, but am pleasantly surprised. Medium full body but smooth. Lacks any identifieable Punch DNA. Had these next to the HU propios and looks identical in vitola. Definitely worth a pick up if you are so inclined. 

[Subcomandante]

Didn’t get a chance to partake after my daughters first dance recital. But while she’s taking a nap I figured it fitting to try out this single My Father Connecticut from 2016 the year she was born.
