My First Cigar!

Well, my first "real" cigar, anyway.

I had a break before our department head meeting at work today, so I took a stroll down to the liquor store (I know

) to see what they might have. I was almost bummed to see they didn't have any cigars, but next to the register I saw a small glass-top humidor. Through the glass, I saw the glimmer of a red and gold band - Punch! So, not being an aficionado (yet

), I went by name recognition alone and picked up two of them for $4.25 each. As far as I can tell, I think they're Royal Selection #12's - petite corona (mareva?) size, with a band that says "Punch" and "Imported". I've read some good reviews, describing them as a medium to full-bodied cigar, with a good flavor profile and slight spiciness.

So, did I do good?
