Punch Cigars

[Matt Wall]

Hi guys,
I'm looking to try a new brand of Cuban's and I'm thinking of trying Punch, just wondering if anyone rates any of their vitolas? The Punch Punch and Serie D'Oro are some that come mind.
Cheers,
Matt

I like Punch, the Punch Punch is nice. The Coronation and Petit Coronation tubos are nice and reasonably priced.

Hi Matt, Punch were known for their Corona Gordas, having the largest range at one time, Punch Punch still available, Black Prince the best IMHO can be found, as can Royal Selection No11 & Super Selection No2 but I have never seen the long deleted Nectares No2. However that's all history & for interest sake. There are only 5 current models so apart from the smaller ones mentioned in previous posts, if you really want to get to know the best of the remaining brand - go straight for the Punch DC. If you can find one with a few years on it you'll be well rewarded.

Give me a shout when you get PM privileges & I'll see what I can do.

Cheers guys, I'll check out the Punch Punch I think and maybe the DC
and wow thanks Simon, greatly appreciate it, I'll let you know when I can PM you

Punch is a great brand to try Matt but age is a must to get the best from them in my opinion. The RS 12 is ok too (mareva) and worth a try.

I bought a box of well aged Punch Punch and they were terrible. Bitter notes all over the place. Interestingly enough, Dalay Zigarren, a German retailer, did a video of them and said the exact same thing, which lets me believe that it wasn't just a bad box. He owns a Casa del Habanos and sells mostly cubans.

Video is in German but you can fiddle with the settings and get English subtitles.

The Petit Punch was a great stick though I havent seen any for ages..... The Black Prince is something I would love to get my hands on.

Cheers guys, maybe I'll steer clear of them and go for a Juan Lopez instead...

You should try them both and you will know, I'd suggest an RS 11 with 8-10yrs and a JL no.1 or 2.
You can get more info on them here:

RS12 are lovely, I'd happily let you have one of mine just to show you how great they are.

As always seems to be the case, I have to agree with Simon. The Punch DC is an exceptional smoke with a couple of years on them.

I also enjoy the occasional Punch Punch - I've certainly not noticed any noteworthy bitterness when I've smoked them. As for the Juan Lopez, as ACMCC suggests, grab a No1 and a No2, neither should disappoint.

Might be that it was a bad year or box. Mine is the same year as the one reviewed in the video I posted.

Thanks everyone, I've heard JL No.2's are consistently good so I'll try one of those I think Where can you get hold of the Punch SS11/12 btw?
