Punch Clásico Double Corona EMS

Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Punch Clásico Double Corona EMS opens with a hearty medium-to-full-bodied profile, delivering an immediate surge of toasted cedar, black pepper, and earthy leather that settles firmly on the palate. Early draws reveal an undercurrent of roasted peanut, molasses, and a faint dried cherry sweetness, while the retrohale intensifies the experience with a bold wave of red pepper, baking spice, and a hint of dark cocoa. As the cigar transitions into the midsection, the profile rounds out with flavors of espresso crema, toasted walnut, and charred oak, supported by a creamy texture that tempers the spice. The final third grows darker and more robust, introducing bittersweet chocolate, rich earth, and a lingering peppery finish that carries well beyond the last draw.

Construction and Draw
The Ecuadorian Sumatra EMS wrapper is a silky, medium-brown leaf with subtle oil and fine veins, expertly rolled over a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and a hearty blend of Honduran, Nicaraguan, and Dominican fillers. The Double Corona vitola is firmly and evenly packed with a well-applied triple cap, providing an effortless draw that produces dense, aromatic smoke throughout. The burn remains straight and reliable, requiring minimal correction, and the ash holds firm in long, silvery stacks.
Whisky Pairing Recommendation
A perfect pairing is Glenfiddich 15 Solera Reserve, whose honeyed malt, dried fruit, and warm spice notes complement the cigar’s cedar, cocoa, and earthy core while enhancing its creamy mid-palate.
