Cigar Weekly

Punch Churchills (cabinet)

Wrapper: Calorado Maduro (dark brown with brick red tint), thin veins, rather dense wrapper, thought I would have problems with having to relight but no problem at all. Very oily sheen and just beautiful to look at.

Construction and draw: A world class roller made this gem of a cigar. Dense and rock solid, thought I would have draw problem, but it drew like a dream.

Flavor profile: Sweet spice and woodsy, slightly bitter and harsh on the palate, deep tobacco flavors with a long finish. 2nd half intensified into the earthy range, but no bitterness, and this nice citrus fruitiness stood out. Well balanced, never tiring, just pure smoking satisfaction.

Strength: This has high level of nicotine and will make your head spin. I was buzzin half way through the cigar. Flavor strength is medium yet very rich.

Man I am so glad to find the big boy cigars up to their reputation of their former glory. A very rich and intense cigar. These will please all havanaphiles with its rich flavors and intense strength.

I've always been particular to the big boys. You're reviews are starting to drive me crazy.

Mike, it's not polite to point out the obvious.

Crystal and I are doing well. We're getting ready to head back to Jamaica for a week. I think she's figured out how to pack the entire house to include the kitchen sink this time.
