Drguano Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I watched the latest review of the Punch Royal Salute 11 and remembered that I'd received a Punch Super Selection No. 1 from a cab of 50 at an event at Club Habana during the Havanathon last November and decided now was the time to fire it up. I am hoping someone else might have taken note of the box code and year as I haven't a clue nor do I recall the name of the man who shared them. I blame it on the mojitos... The cigar is fantastic! Complex and medium to full body that started at the first puff and continued down to the nub. The flavors ranged from caramel and honey to a strange fruity essence that I cannot quite put my finger on. Melon perhaps? This was perhaps the best vintage cigar I have experienced. Good thing I have now idea how old or box code or I'd be mortgaging my house to find more. Superb! On the left in this picture is the box and the most generous benefactor who provided them. Thanks! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philc2001 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 A fine cigar, one of my favorites, and discontinued since ~2009 so you'll be challenged to find them on the secondary market. I saw a cab from 2001 sold about 4 months ago for $1100, and I think FOH had a 2006 cab that sold recently for about $760. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanceSchmerr Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hey mate, wasn't it a Super Seleccion No. 2? Thats what i remember, because it was that or the Hoyp Des Dieux and I ended up with the latter instead.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Yes, it was the SS#2. Gino to the right, Larry center. '02 I believe, couldn't be younger than that.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drguano Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 I was trying to read the box in the picture. Now it does look like a '2'. Ha! That must not be what I smoked this morning! Definitely skinnier than 46 ring gauge Super Selection No2! Now I have to rename my review. Either it was the des Dieux or who knows what. All I know is it was damn tasty!
