Punch cigars
 

How are they? I tried looking up reviews on here but can't really find much, punch being a pretty commonly used term to search for and all

Re: Punch cigars
 

Depends on the blend... some like the Grand Cru maduro are pretty tasty... others like the regular punch maduro are too bland for me... I haven't tried the bareknuckle or the upper cut... but if I guess I'd say it really just depends on what flavors and draw type you like...

Re: Punch cigars
 

Also... the Rare Corojo and the 10th Anniversary Rare corojo are pretty different... both are pretty good IMHO...

Re: Punch cigars
 

Narrow it down some. what type/size/wrapper etc....

Re: Punch cigars
 

My favorite would be the standard Punch Natural in a 5.25 x 54 size. They're always consistently rolled(not loose) and they burn perfectly. Slightly spicy taste. One of my favorite smokes. Two others I've tried but don't care for would be the Gran Puro and the Uppercut. Gran Puro is one dimensional and bland(my opinion). Uppercut. I'm not sure what I don't like but I don't like them.

Guess I'm just making sure they aren't some complete trash brand... I'm into a little darker, more flavorful smokes, preferably without too much spicyness

Re: Punch cigars
 

I abandoned this brand back in the early 90s. I bought a handful of singles of a coal black corona-toro that was exceptional,
loaded with rich chocolate flavors, had me swooning over how unbelievably flavorful it was. I went back to buy some more and
they never tasted good to me again. I was so disappointed. I was also kind of pi55ed off, because I felt that they lied to me.
In a way anyway. And after that I discovered habanos, so it was just as well.

Punch Champion Double Maduro will meet your needs. Its a very good smoke!

Re: Punch cigars
 

That's good to know, I've had the champion and have been looking to revisit, grabed that tailgate thing they got going on and it came with the Maduro one.

Re: Punch cigars
 

haven't tried the champion... maybe review it if you have the time? :D

Re: Punch cigars
 

Punch is one of those brands that I haven't had any luck with. RP being the other. All their sticks seem to taste the same to me. :2

Re: Punch cigars
 

I happen to enjoy the BareKnuckle. It happens to be the only one i have had though.

Re: Punch cigars
 

Ahh Mac... really no luck with RP? I know they can be hit and miss... but no luck at all?

I know one I think you would like... just guessing from your maduro-ness...

the RP Honduran Classic... tasted great to me... had a really loose draw but didn't get hot or run... voluminous smoke... and a deep dark and oily taste.... Fam exclusive brand tho...

Re: Punch cigars
 

I do enjoy the RP Cuban Blend Maduro...only stick in their line that I enjoy.

Re: Punch cigars
 

I hear they are similar... you didn't care for the edge maduro tho?

Re: Punch cigars
 

Nope...not a fan of having my fingers turned colors from the dye.

Re: Punch cigars
 

Big fan of the Champion and the Grand Cru Maduros

Re: Punch cigars
 

My favorites are 10th Anniversary Rare Corojo and Gran Cru Maduro. Occasionaly I'll grab a Champion, but not as much as the other two mentioned prior.

Re: Punch cigars
 

I always used to enjoy the Rothschild oscuros, used to buy them by the box of 50 when they were around $1.75 ea. Haven't thought of them in years.
