Punch (Hon) Cafe Royal

This is a beautiful looking smoke, nice presentation in the glass tube. I need to revisit it i think because I didn't pick alot of flavours out of it (maybe it was the scotch) I think it would be good with black coffee

Had another one from a second batch. This smoke's overall character is delicate. A very nice flavor profile that I like much better than the Macanudo Gold Series. This cigar is also very light and can be smoked any time of day. Wrapper is nice and holds steady and the construction is competent yielding a nice draw. Overall some aging is beneficial and brings this cigar into the "First Tier" category for me.

The first one I smoked was a complete success! Out of a retailer's humidor, this baby was a beaut! Smoked consistent and very tasty! I'm big into flavor and this one produced and for a nice price too! Unfortunatley, the subsequent box of 8 I bought was dissapointing. The cigars had too much humidity which contributed to probably all the problems I had - runny burn and subpar taste. It probably ships on the humid side in the tubes so retailers can leave them out, so I would recommend let these babies sit in your humi a few months or take them out of the tube a coupla weeks.

Bought these cigars to celebrate the birth of my first grandchild. The construction was excellent and they burned razor sharp. These sticks had a smooth draw and a somewhat leathery taste. I normally prefer maduro smokes and actually ordered the naturals without seeing the maddies in the same style. For a natural cigar, these were not bad. I enjoyed all eight, especially the last one which had been aged for well over a year.

Inside a glass tube, this well-made cigar has a creamy, shiny, and lightly veiny wrapper. It smokes perfectly: fine draw with plenty of smoke, beautiful and long grayish ash, and a consistent and razor-straight burn. It starts off bready and peppery, with some coffee and a predominant cinnamon flavor appearing in the second half of the smoke; fairly tasty and not as mild as the cigar would appear, although the flavors could use more balance. When aged untubed, i find the cigar gains a little more strength but still lacks balance as the cinnamon flavor still seems to dominate. Overall, a nice medium-bodied smoke that performs exceptionally well.
