Punch Double Coronas

First Third:

The initial draws reveal a complex introduction with subtle spice notes that awaken the palate. Cedar and earth establish the Punch character immediately, while the generous format delivers cool, voluminous smoke. The burn line remains even and steady from the first light. A nutty quality develops alongside the spice, setting the foundation for a long session.

Mid-Section:

As the cigar progresses through its substantial length, the profile evolves while maintaining the signature Punch character. Coffee and dark chocolate emerge, joining the cedar and earth. Leather surfaces on the retrohale, adding savoury depth. The body builds to medium-full, the Double Corona format allowing the blend to develop at a measured pace. The substantial smoke production creates a satisfying mouthfeel.

Final Third:

The conclusion delivers continued complexity without harshness. Earth and pepper dominate the final draws, while the chocolate and leather persist. The spice that opened the cigar returns with more conviction, balanced by a persistent sweetness. The 90-minute-plus experience rewards patience with a long, warm, satisfying finish.

Punch was founded in 1840 by Manuel López, named after the beloved British humour magazine Punch. The brand quickly established itself as a purveyor of quality Cuban cigars. The Double Coronas represents the largest format in the Punch portfolio—a substantial Prominente vitola for extended smoking sessions.
