Alright, here's the review for cigar #3.
I forgot to measure this one before I started so I couldn't tell you the dimensions, but it was a bit larger cigar. I would guess right around 6 X 48.
Pre-draw: Strong tobacco predraw, didn't taste like much else.
Initial puffs: Slightly spicy tobacco flavors, medium strength, with a long finish that turns a bit mild after a minute or so.
1 inch in: Tobacco flavor is still there, but the strength picks up ever so slightly.
2 inches in: Mellows out a little bit. Maybe I just let it sit too long without taking a puff, but I still get a large amount of smoke from each tug.
3 inches in: Spice is still hanging around and I can taste a very faint dark coffee note.
Last 2 inches: Holy shiz, the last 2 inches of this smoke REALLY picked up in strength. I would say it was a full bodied, but it seemed close. The amount of spice is overwhelming.
Overall: I really liked this cigar. At first just by looks and initial thoughts, I would have guessed this was a CC. However, with the way it finished, I'm sort of questioning that assumption now. The burn was a little off throughout the entirety of the cigar. Not by a lot, I didn't have to touch it up.
What is it?: Like I said, I initially thought this was a CC, the spice and strength bomb at the end makes me think it is something more like a NC. Oddly enough I was just gifted a cigar today by a friend of a friend, and I think I got the same cigar that I just sampled.
With that said, I will guess a Punch Super Selection #2. Definitely a good smoke, the one I was gifted is from 1998 so I couldn't even begin to guess what time period this one might be from. If it's even a PSS#2.
Score: 92/100
