Vertical Tasting of Punch Corona Gordas

Your mileage may vary:

Black Prince:

MRN says this is the mildest of the 4. For me--it had good hints of Cuban taste and aroma; a little chalky/dry; VERY good; A great box-press; got even better near the end.

It's my luck that this turned out to be about my most favorite with enough flavor, aroma, and strength to be exceptional, not under-whelming, but not too much of any one thing.

Punch:

MRN says this is the 2nd mildest. For me--good aroma, but not as much taste as the Black Prince. Ranks as #4 out of the 4.

Royal Selection #11:

MRN says this is the 2nd strongest. For me--it had a heavy flavor and aroma with a great deal of strength from the very beginning; with a heavy Havana taste. Enjoyable, but 3rd on my list out of 4.

Super Selection #2:

MRN says that this is the strongest of the 4. For me--I could taste the strength, and the potential for strength, but it was not very flavorful. I find this unusual for a Cuban cigar, which usually has a proportionate amount of taste and flavor to the strength. Non-Cuban cigars are more notorious for all strength and no flavor, but not Cubans, in my experience.

At the first, it was a little chalky, but the last 3rd was GREAT--really flavorful and heavy with strength--enough to make up for the previous two thirds. For those of you that pitch a cigar because you don't like the way it tastes in the beginning and won't continue to smoke it to see if gets better, thereby risking smoking a shitty cigar--with this cigar I can only pity you. The last 3rd was worth the very slight disappointment it took to get to it.

Still--#2 after the Black Prince for me.

Your mileage may vary.
