First Third: This cigar is a classic corona gorda sized cigar that is in the round. The wrapper is a meduim chocolate color. With a few small viens in it. No soft spots or bumps. Cut this cigar with my Xiker and it cit very nicely. Tourched it up and I get a good volume of smoke with flavors of wood and earthyness. Cigar burns nice and even and has a long finish that stick with me.
Second Third: The cigar pretty much stays the same thoughout. I would say that during the 2nd 3rd that the earthy flavors while still there are not quite as strong and the woodsy flavor is more dominant. Still smoking well even though I did have to even a side up.
Last Third: Still getting plenty of wood and earhty flavors. One of two puffs I got some good richness out of it. This cigar stayed pretty consistant throughout.

Total score out of 100 points being the perfect cigar. 81/100
I think this cigar needs more time for it to come out and show it true potentual. Those few puff of good rich tobacco makes me thing that. One to let sit for a good 6 months before sampling again.

Review No. 6 is a Corona Gordas cigar Colorado Claro wrapper. There were no veins on the smooth, leathery wrapper but there were two little holes in the wrapper. They just seemed like they were surface scrapes so I hoped it wasn’t going to create a problem for the draw. I clipped the well done triple cap and hoped for the best. The pre light draw was loose so I got worried.
It was hard to get any smoke from the cigar because the draw was so loose. The two holes were not leaking any smoke, so it was just the construction of the cigar I guess. What smoke I could get from the cigar was very bland. Maybe I got a cigar that was in a sick period, I’m not sure, but there wasn’t much there that I could take away from the cigar. It didn’t really change much even past the halfway point. I gave it the old college try, but I couldn’t smoke it much after the halfway point so I let it go out. The burn was really weird too. Not straight at all and all over the place.
My guess as to this cigar is Upmann Mag 46. I really don’t know why I’m guessing that, but there it is.

Guess as to what the cigar was that you smoked?
This was my cigar a Punch Punch 07.
I received notes of Burnt Caramel, Cedar on the 1st 3rd w spice and a short finish with a small amount of bitterness. 2nd 3rd was about the same with a good burn line, no touch ups, and a slight salty character. Finish was still short as well.
3rd brought a medium body, more caramel with bitterness leaving cigar and 1 relight towards the end.
I was excited to smoke this cigar because it was mine and I've had them for awhile and haven't had one in a while. Well I have to say I'm heavily disappointed. While this Punch Punch burned well and had plenty of smoke. The flavors were lacking and somewhat bitter. The problem is I don't remember these being that bad? Can they be sick again ????
