Punch Signature

Short review on Punch Signature Robusto cigar. This 5x50 stick is a deep, rich brown color with aromas of earth, leather and cedar. With a corojo wrapper, I expected a potent cigar, but actually found it to be a slight bit over medium in strength. On the other hand, the taste and body were quite stout. The burn and performance was very good, with no touch-ups needed. Smoke output for the first half was like a Liga stick. The first half inch was very harsh, with a lot of throat irritation. I let it rest for a few minutes and was surprised it did not go out. After that, it became smooth and possessed a lot of good tastes. Have to say, this really is different from the other Punch cigars I've had. This will be a regular in my rotation. One note; this was a purchase from CI that had been in transit for two weeks and then had only a few weeks in the humidor. Aging a bit would probably help mellow out the initial harshness.

Your description is spot on. I have been smoking these for the past few months. They bring back that maduro richness that I miss in so many other old favorites.

Stout is a good word. These are rich and pungent.

Thank you for the review!

OK so now you have rekindled my interest in Punch cigars

The Rare Corojo is still in production, AFAIK. I had one recently and these ares still pretty darn good.

Glad I found this reviews. Earlier today I ordered a sampler of these. Can't wait for them to come in.

I have wondered about these. They seem to be a current rave right now. I find most Punch cigars need to rest a bit as they are all harsh to me when I smoke them.
