Punch Triunfos

Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Punch Triunfos opens with a classic medium-bodied profile, delivering an approachable blend of sweet cedar, toasted almond, and light cocoa, accented by a gentle white pepper spice that lingers softly on the retrohale. Early draws introduce subtle notes of honey, shortbread biscuit, and dried hay, adding a touch of sweetness and rustic charm to the opening. As the cigar progresses into the midsection, the spice softens further, allowing flavors of roasted peanut, baking spice, and creamy vanilla to take center stage, supported by a smooth, mellow texture. The final third develops into a refined mix of espresso crema, soft leather, and charred oak, leaving a clean, balanced finish with just a whisper of lingering spice.

Construction and Draw
The Ecuadorian wrapper presents a silky, light brown hue with a satiny sheen, flawlessly applied over a Honduran binder and a blend of well-aged Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers. Construction is reliable, with a firm, even pack and a neatly executed double cap. The pre-light aroma offers sweet hay, light cocoa, and fresh bread, while the cold draw reveals cedar, cream, and faint spice. Upon ignition, the burn remains straight and steady, producing plentiful aromatic smoke and holding pale gray ash in tight, well-formed stacks that reflect careful craftsmanship.
Whisky Pairing Recommendation
The ideal whisky pairing for this cigar is Glenmorangie 10 Year Original, whose honeyed citrus, light malt sweetness, and delicate floral notes complement the Triunfos’ creamy, nutty, and mildly spiced profile without overpowering its subtle complexity.
