What are your thoughts on the Punch? Kung Hei Fatt Choi...Kurt

G’day Andy. My tasting on this Walnut, pepper spice, dark chocolate a light lick of honey on the after taste. Final 3rd pepper increased and became a touch bitter. Overall has improved considerably since my last one roughly a year back. I feel these can age for another couple of years yet to even out that final 3rd.

Hi...Kurt. I had two last year & it was quite wet in the last third...first & second third had some good flavors. Burn was wonky that time. I guess I'll give it a try in a month or two, to see how it is... Thanks & keep safe!

Today’s unknown cigar. Got this one as a gift, but even the owner cannot tell what is this.

HOYO DE MONTERREY DOUBLE CORONAS GRAN RESERVA COSECHA 2013
Last cigar before Chinese New Year.
Hope everyone a prosperous 2021.

Two cigars a day, makes me a happy boy.
Double happiness to celebrate Chinese New Year.

I did actually dry box this one for 4 days as recalled the past one was as you mentioned wet. Suggest that you may wan to try something similar to see if that helps.

Definitely gets a bit too windy at times to try shots like these. I have fortunately one had 1 incident where a stick was lost to the over the edge gods. Lol

Celebrating the Lunar New Year of the Ox with SCDLH La FuerzaIt is one fine cigar now and should be even better with a bit of age. Just unsure if I can wait that long. Maybe it’s time to load up.

Partagas Aristocrats in a fresh batch of snow.

Nice Partagas spice I hadn't got in my last few Partagas cheap and cheerfuls.

@Akela3rd I'll probably be smoking some Rafael Gonzalez Perlas and/or Petit Coronas soon for the same reason ?

Edit: smoked a PCE thanks @VKUTT for the suggestion. Less spice more sourdough some earth. Seems they do need some more time. I'll smoke the aristocrats and maybe leave the PCE for later. -15C 5f but not windy.

Sparked a new friendship with a BOTL up north who can't smoke because it's -30 so I have to toughen up.

Finishing off the work week at the home office with a SOP ENE 20 BBF and an old fashioned. Not sure if it’s the old fashioned but I’m getting some phenomenal burnt Carmel notes off the cigar that I’ve only gotten 1 time before with a BBF...years ago while I was drinking an old fashioned.

Excellent @Bijan! And judging by the old band, one is confident that it's at least ten years old.

I keep a listing of my favorite drink pairings with cigars - an Old Fashion with Woodford Reserve Bourbon always pairs well with my 2019 Boli PC's  I get earth, leather and the drink bings out the burnt brown sugar and the occasional orange peal with the cigar.  Lovely combination.
