Punch (Cuba) Black Prince

good cigar,but i'd wrather have it's twin the punch punch deluxe.

Picked up a box from 00 because it was on sale. Its a tight rolled cigar with a great slow burn. The flavor are very earthy with a burnt nuts aftertaste but it had a very light touch.
Its like a nice little blast of flavor and then its gone. Maybe thats from it being 8 years old.

After reviewing a more recent example back in August '07, I was lucky enough to be gifted one with 10 years age on it to smoke. While this one was a tad tighter than the fresher one, it still burned perfectly and drew well enough to give off loads of smoke. More complexity than its younger sister with tastes of nuts and earth, and a smoothness not as prevelent in the first one. The cigar did nothing to change my opinion that this is a great cigar to buy and age.

Very good grand corona sized cigar with a great draw that affords lots of smoke, and a razor sharp burn. Flavors of earth were most dominant, with a smooth taste that many Punch vitola seem to provide. Definitely a cigar I would like to have a box on hand to age.

Good size for the drive home. Well constructed similar to the Punch Punch but I think a more complex Cigar. I have smoke three or four out of this but and have found them all good.

Not quite as stout as the Punch Punch, the Black Prince is better earlier in the day or for those times that quiet introspection is desired. Smooth and rich, the smoke is layered with flavor.
