WOW....I am lost for words!!

It is cold but sunny, so I grabbed a PUNCH PUNCH from 2004, a latte and though I would light up on the balcony.
I have smoked about one centimeter of the cigar and it is one of the best cigars I have had in my life.....WOW

I have a hard time describing the flavors in English but the cigar is perfectly balanced, dry fruit....raisins, cream.......a hint of honey.....bread and just a hint of pepper

Many times that is the best way to enjoy one.

Kinda curious on this one...is this like a spur of the moment thread...do you still feel it was the single best cigar you have ever had. Not trying to doubt but with all of the posts that I have personally seen on today's smoke and trips with your friends I am kinda shocked that this was your number 1! You have had the opportunity to smoke some amazing, highly revered, limited, and sought after cigars. I have also had opportunity to smoke some punch punch from same period and yes thought they were good...but even with my amateur status would not put into my top 5 for cubans. Not to be a dick but just curious now that you are done...are you still so star struck?

I never said it was the best, but one of the best and I would say top 10 cigars ever for me. This box has been really good and all of them great but this stick just blew me away....when I took it out of the box I just expected a good cigar and was planing to sit out on the balcony and enjoy the weather and a nice smoke.
I guess this is what every BOTL dreams of, just getting the amazing experience with a regular cigar.
I have one more from the same box and will be smoking it tomorrow, I dont imagine it will be that good but once again expecting a great smoke

I always feel when the regular production line is rolled good with age they beat pretty much everything else.

Top 3 ccs for me, Cohiba Lancero in cello from 1987, Monte Especial 1987 and Diplomaticos No.1 in cello 1970.

I'll be looking for these at my next stop in Dubai!!!

Very nice! Not usually much love for Punch on here, but when people enjoy them it is usually a Punch Punch.

I have had similar experiences with random reg production cigars. I have smoke from probably 30 boxes of 02 Punch black princes and most of that is due one box we had on the shelf a couple of years ago. It was top 25 cigar worthy but the rest have just been mediocre. I will smoke from another 30 boxes in hopes of that same cigar tho.

I feel you brother, one can not stop looking for that amazing cigar.

Cab or dress box? Love it when all comes together.

Had a box of 898Vs that were only a couple years old that were so good I had to share the last few with some good friends one night. I always look for that box code (being so young and still obtainable)

 

[Deemancpa]

nice Ben!

 

[carguy13]

they are good as long as you take care of them. i had one in a humidor that took a crap, it was terrible. glad to hear that yours was good though.

I have lost faith on Punch Punch after a box from 2008 but hearing more and more positive experiences like yours , makes me want to try on different years crop .
Agree on reg production gems.
