Tried my first Punch Rare Corojo double corona today on the way home from a business trip. I had recently smoked a Camacho corojo and liked it, so I thought I'd give them a try. This is a beautifully constructed cigar, box pressed, with a chocolate colored wrapper. Virtually no flaws to be found, small veins and no spots. Really interesting spicy smell before even lighting the cigar. I liked this cigar from the first puff. The first half was smooth and creamy. Perfect burn with a slightly soft grey-white ash. About half way down I began to pick up a little spice on tip of my tongue and hint of what I can only describe as a cinammon taste in the back of my throat. Definately a solid medium body. Different, but similar, to the Camacho Corojo but without the power of the Camacho. Stayed about the same (excellent) from the half way mark to the toss. I'm going to get some more of these tomorrow before they're all gone. To me, it was an outstanding cigar for the price ($6).
