I second the Gran Cru Maduro. When I first got into this hobby, I smoked punch like a mad man in the double maduro, and maduro. The two sticks I settled in on were the Rothschild, and the Pita. Then I tried the Gran Cru. It was much much better. I have to say, out of the box the gran cru is the way to go, but with some age, the punch does pretty good. I have a couple of magnum double maduro's? or maduro's I picked up back in 09. If the weather was good I would smoke one today and see what about 2 years has done to it.
