  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

No Sucker Punch!

Ok, so it's like this...I walk into my local shop just because I was bored and had nothing better to do at 10am. I got almost $8 dollars on me and I really didn't want to spend it on anything there but you know how that goes. So I'm browsing at the same stuff I see everytime I go in there and John the owner said I should try something I've never had. I said all I got is about Eight bucks and I'm not sure I want to buy something I wont like. He reached up onto the shelf and handed me a "Punch Deluxe" JG Toro. I told him I've never had a Punch and he said well it's about time you try one. It was $6.50 so I said what the hell, I would still have enough change to grab a diet coke at Speedy and head home.
Well I gotta say it was a delightfull surprise. In my opinion it was a bit mild for me but it had great taste and was really smooth. I wish I took some pics but I was figuring it was gonna be a dog rocket. Anyways it was a rewarding change for me and I'm glad John "Made" me buy it. All in all, a petty decent smoke for my first experience with this cigar brand!
Brand......Punch Deluxe
Wrapper..Sun-grown wrappers "Dark"
Burn........Stayed even all the way
Draw.......Excellent
Flavor......Mild with coffee/coco hints
Aroma......Very nice

You've gotta love those experiences where you try something out of your usual zone, that you've probably overlooked time after time.

Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks for the reminder to take a step outside the comfort zone every now and again :thumbsup:. I've been meaning to try a Punch, but with so many things out there that I haven't had or want to try it keeps getting put off. Perhaps I'll dig deep in the humi and toast one up...
