Punch Double Corona

Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Punch Double Corona opens with a confident medium-to-full-bodied profile, presenting an immediate combination of sweet cedar, earthy leather, and dark roasted coffee, accented by a subtle molasses sweetness that sets a rich foundation. Early retrohales deliver a balanced black pepper spice layered with notes of dried fig, toasted almond, and a touch of baking spice, offering both depth and brightness. As the cigar transitions into the second third, the flavors evolve into cocoa powder, charred oak, and caramelized sugar, with a creamy texture that softens the spice and enhances the overall harmony. In the final third, the profile intensifies with concentrated espresso crema, bittersweet chocolate, and a faint licorice edge, finishing long and warm with a satisfying interplay of sweetness, spice, and woodiness.

Construction and Draw
Construction is exceptional, with a lustrous, slightly oily Cuban wrapper laid seamlessly over a blend of premium binder and filler tobaccos. The cigar is evenly packed, delivering a smooth draw that produces dense, aromatic smoke in generous volumes. The burn line remains impressively straight throughout the lengthy format, while the ash holds in tight, pale-gray stacks, reflecting the precision of its craftsmanship.
Whisky Pairing Recommendation
An ideal whisky pairing for this stately vitola is the Glenfarclas 21 Year, whose sherried richness, dried fruit depth, and warm spice complement the Double Corona’s cedar, cocoa, and molasses core while accentuating its deeper espresso and oak-driven nuances.
