This cigar was about 6 1/2 inches in length and a 48-50 ring gauge. It was slightly box pressed. The wrapper was vieny but well constructed.

The cigar burned almost perfectly and held a light grey/white ash for about 1 1/2 inches before I tapped it off.

In the beginning the taste was mild with a little bit of spice. After the first 2 inches it started to taste nutty and the spicyness increased.

The draw was slightly tight for the first 1/4 and then it improved dramactically. Good amounts of smoke and a great flavor.

The cigar never got harsh and I smoked it to about 1 1/2 inches The aftertaste was great. A very enjoyable smoke.

Of the three I enjoyed the first one(orange lable) the most but this one was a close second.

So Ethan, what have I been smoking(hold the jokes)? ;-)

If it were a mid to low price I'd probably buy a box. If it were an upper end stick I'd definitely buy a few more to see if they were consistantly good.

So.... What were the three I smoked?

Hang in there Dave...

Hey, I just read your review again - slight box pressed? Did you sit on it? If I remember right (I don't have any more) - it should have been pretty round...

al'Thor, what a tease - way to be in touch with your feminine side.

No Ethan, if I sat on it it would be flat. It looked slightly box pressed to me, but I could be wrong.

So you told me the one I didn't like, but you're gonna make me wait on the 2 I did like eh? LOL

well, no corojo in the cigar, but there's corojo in the name! That would be a Punch Rare Corojo!
