Punch (Cuba) Petit Coronations

I like this size cigar, not enough time to get bored if the smoke lacks complexity. This version from '04 was slightly spicy, medium bodied with a pretty frim draw that was a bit stingy with the smoke. The flavors were earthy and leathery, but the cigar lacked any true complexity. Overall I enjoyed it though, as it was tight but smokable and short enough to hold my interest despite its one-dimensional flavor.

Fantastic little puro. Every last draw is intoxicating. Reddish brown wrapper and tobacco thoughout. Take these out for teh tues and give them some humidity and they are a super-hit. FLAVOR! the wrapper is very fragile, and tears easily. I did have a little problem with one when I rolled it between my fingers (to loosen up the draw) I was Gentle, but when I got to teh last inch, the foot came apart. be careful with these and they will treat you right.

One of my first cubans! This smoke hooked me on Cubans and made me realize how much ahead of the rest if the world that they are! The flavor of any Cuban I have smoked is a far cry above other countries best tobacco. Thanks Castro, for atleast one good thing!

Tubo, with light spice, woodsy and medium. Have had several over the past year and not a bad one in the bunch. Grab a few if you find them.

A good price and value makes this a worthwhile cigar. The start was medium in body, toasty and creamy with some spiciness. The second half built per Cuban spec to add some nice coffee flavors over the top, but it was never more than medium in body. Quality construction and smooth flavors make this a good cigar, and the moderate price makes it a good value too.

In my relentless pursuite of post-lunch cigar happiness, I have also tried the little coronation, from the house of Punch. Nice little thing indeed, with its fair share of flavours, although not likely to knock you down. Good construction and excellent value finally make the LC a very good proposition in after lunch cigardom...

A box of these untubed have quite bit of color variation. Some have relatively thick veins, the wrapping is not in the league of Partagas shorts. They seem dry, box is 2.5 years old so I untubed them all and doored them. The draw is easy, taste is powerful and spicy. Billows of smoke, nice spicy taste, the cigar burned easily, no problems but the cigar got quite soft as it shortened. Quite a different taste experience compared to my go to short cigars the Partagas Shorts.

Peppery and always a winner, the Royal Coronation is a go-to cigar that rings the bell. Great small size and a dark glittery wrapper are hallmarks of this petit tubo. Bravo!
