olotti Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 PLPC fresh from receiving them today, they smelled so good I had to try one. Little firecrackers right now with a great cream undertone, spice and cuban tobacco. It's a 13' HQ box from czar and cant wait to see how the develop as they acclimate and age.

Bartolomeo Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 13 Punch EL....4th one I have smoked but this time I was going to pay more attention, this fireproof wrapper really stood out from the others, reminded me of the RA Extra EL from the past, dont care for those currently but liked them at first release.....this was creamy, blind test I would of scored this an HDM....1/3 was enjoyable, sweet, youthful tobacco.....2/3 was showing its youth as expected, little harsh on retro hale and started experiencing some artificial flavor it seemed, last third was more one dimensional, young tobacco with some leather and sweetness....I didnt pick up any typical Punch characteristics on my amateur palate.....overall I thought an average smoke and would consider a box to lay down if not for the price, price to me is out of whack, I would pick up the Upmann Conn A over these all day long and they are cheaper....I would like to revisit these down the roadBart[/quote Witch of those limitadas would u put #1??? After this week it was the RyJ.....previously it was the Punch Personally I would buy other cigars than these 3 Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleDD Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 My last J-O belicoso before the remaining 20 are laid down for their nap. A spicy little sucker. These should mature just fine. Nice oily sheen and a dark wrapper. Leather, cedar, and dark chocolate flavors are prevalent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainQuintero Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 The Sun has arrived in God's own county! A gifted La Gloria Cubana #4 with the pearl fishermen's / temple duet. Does life get any more decadent? This is what cigars are all about for me. Sweet, rich. Like syrup and honey folded softly into cream laden porridge/rolled oats. @Blakes you magnificent bugger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 A Cuaba divinos again from the beautiful mr blakes! I think I've figured out why this is such a love or hate cigar brand! Wait for it...... It's a dry smoke. I'm getting g nice coffee, walnuts and raisins but these flavours are wrapped in a package of dry smoke, compared to a rich or moist/juicy mouth feel of most other Cubans. It's a yummy cigars for sure, but that dry smoke I can see as being so left field that it can put a lot of people off or be so opposite of what they expect that it's interpreted as harsh or acrid. Now I'm expecting it, I'm enjoying the cigar! So from that thread discussing how to improve Cuaba; it's obviously not being marketed properly so HSA have pooped in their boots in terms of this dry blend, too many people have already formed a negative opinion. Change the blend into a rich/juicy smoke but keep the flavour profile and these would fly. Obviously the band would need to be completely changed, Christ what a shocker! 90/100 from this cigar!
