The Punch “After Dinner Handmade Natural”

This Month we will be reviewing the Punch After Dinner Handmade. Just as its name suggests, Punch is a fuller bodied robust cigar with a rich history in the world of cigars. This original blend is an everyday favorite for many aficionados.

Punch is one of the most famous brand names in cigars, originating in 19th century Cuba. The Honduran version of this cigar debuted in 1969 and is still being made today. As popular as ever, Punch cigars have a unique medium to full bodied aroma that stems from a diverse blend of Cuban seed tobacco fillers from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Honduras. The natural wrapper is grown in Ecuador and lends to the strength of this cigar.

Punch lovers can expect a consistent experience cigar to cigar, which has made it an everyday favorite for many. The strong full flavored taste of a Punch cigar is unmistakable and the multi country blend makes it nearly impossible to replicate. The earthy aromas have underlying hints of spices and the cigar has a very long and pleasant finish.

The After Dinner Handmade starts with a bold walnut and coffee taste with a hint of spice. The Cigar then transforms towards the center to a soft sweet flavor, almost a brown sugar taste. With length of 7 ¼ in. and a ring of 45 this is a very long burning cigar, and gives the smoker a lot of bang for their buck. It has a very mellow draw and burns very evenly, and is an absolute pleasure to smoke. The Punch After Dinner Handmade runs $11.99 and is available in the Westside Liquor Smoke Shop located in Wait Park.
