Popular Post BeerPimp Posted September 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2019 I got this last year when I purchased a bunch of singles with a box of Punch Petite Coronations. I don't smoke very many long skinnies and had never had a CC one. It had sat in my humidor since last September and I kept trying to find an occasion to smoke it and a weekend review seemed like the perfect opportunity. I usually just take cell phone pics but wanted to try a different approach so I got my camera out for some low light pictures. After I cut it the cold draw was a little tight but I didn't get much in the way of flavors light tobacco and cream. I paired this with a Port from Michigan that has tons of cherry flavor. I always forget that it is 18.5% alcohol. 1st third right out of the gates I am getting vegetal and some cream. The draw seems a tad tight but nothing to worry about. I am getting tons of smoke from this cigar. It is weird smoking such a long cigar I feel like I am not holding it right. It makes me think of the bit in Talladega Nights where they first interview Ricky Bobby and he doesn't know what to do with his hands. 2nd third and this cigar really starts to get interesting. I am having a tough time trying to pick out the flavors of this cigar. I definitely am getting cream, leather, and salt. It definitely has the buttery profile. I catch some fleeting moments where I pick up some sponge cake. Last third this cigar does not disappoint in having a large array of flavors. I am still getting the cream, leather, and salt. It also picks up touch of white pepper. I only had to do a couple small touch ups on this cigar. I ended up smoking to the nub after this picture. Final thoughts. The draw was a little tight but did not considerably affect the experience. They produce a very good amount of smoke and would hold a decent ash but I kept accidentally knocking it off. In the future I think I will dry box these for a day or two. I am going to watch for them on the 24:24 and pick up a quarter box although lately I have not seen them come up very often. These are one of those cigars you really have to schedule for. I smoked it for 110 minutes and probably could have slowed down a touch more and pushed it over the 2 hour mark. I was glad that this cigar was mild medium. In my previous reviews I never gave a score so I will make sure to do that in the future. I will give this a 92%. I would say if you have never smoked one you should definitely try one. I have been meaning to also pick up some Vigia I will have to try to do that in the future. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
