Review Notes: I must have gotten one that snuck through quality control. Actually, the burn and draw were quite good as was the appearance. It was in the flavor area where I was disappointed. Though there was some tasty notes at time, there was quite a lot of harshness and bitterness on the palate. I usually like Punch cigars of any of their lines. This cigar was only aged about three months in the humidor, so maybe that contributed to the problem. Anyway, I may give them another try, but right now I'm not joining the London Club.

Review Notes: This particular cigar that I'm rated had 8 months of rest on it. It blew me away that this was a $2 smoke. It had classic punch taste to it and for such a small cigar packed a ton of flavor. It was smooth and rich. I had a fresh one several days later because I was so impressed and it wasn't nearly as good. I would definately recommend letting these sit. Seems the age does them wonders.

Review Notes: The wrapper on this cigar was an attractive coffee brown with a bit of toothiness and a couple of prominent veins. I toasted the foot and took a couple of puffs which produced a great volume of creamy smoke loaded with caramelized sugars which were complemented by hints of leather and pepper. As I got a couple of inches into this stogie, I came across more leather and toasted tobacco flavors, but that creaminess stayed around throughout. As I neared the end of the cigar, I started to get an unusual mustard / grass twang which was not altogether pleasing but which certainly kept things interesting. I smoked this little guy down to the nub, and all along the burn was even and clean, leaving behind a solid light gray ash.

Review Notes: This was really one of the best tasting cigars that I have had in a long time. I had some problems with construction when I tried to cut it though. As I made my cut, the whole cap came off. Ive never had this problem before, and luckily because of some wet lip handy work the cigar held together. This was my first Punch cigar, and because the rest was so good I wont hold it against it. I will definitely be trying more of this brand.

Review Notes: This is the best small cigar I've had to date. I've enjoyed the punch elites, and I wanted to try these for some time, I was not disappointed. The flavor is rich, but not overpowering, and contruction is as good as one would expect from punch. For under $30 a box online, they can't be beat. Great 30 minute smoke.
