Cigar Reviewed: Punch Knuckle Buster Maduro

Smoked at: Carolinas

Hard not to like this full bodied cigar. This 6 x 60 Toro is full of flavor. Unlit, you can almost smell the molasses in the dark rich wrapper. The Classic Black and Gold band is easy to identify and printed on the inside with a link to the Punch Brotherhood online. The cigar burns very evenly and cool with a smooth draw. The initial smoke featured a spicy blast with a natural Maduro sweetness. As it progresses bitter sweet chocolate and toast notes emerge and the spices smooth out. The chewy stout I paired it with really brought out the molasses notes in the cigar. The ash is white and firm. This is a well packed cigar that lasted about 90 minutes providing a cacophony of complex flavors. I will buy and enjoy this cigar again.
