Taking advice & making this the 1st cigar I've smoked with a punch instead of a cut.

And? I'm interested to know as I've only ever cut.

Me too. Fairly certain there's less flavour coming through a punch. It's a lot neater, cuts often cause the remaining cap to unravel. It's easier to nub as not so much cigar has to be in contact with the mouth. I think it will be useful for large RG to have a selection of punch sizes. One I got for ?2 is 7mm. Bought myself a v cutter to try for the 1st time as well.

Any guesses SJ? I've one, maybe two in mind, but only on appearance and cold draw (and I'm not very good with them on fire either)

I am, as usual with COTM, clueless.

If you hadn't been smoking this long when you made the less flavour comment it does seem to be a slow starter [emoji4]

Hope you enjoyed it! Let us know what you thought!

Not having smoked it yet, no, apart from my PM

Smoked this last night, quite light and a little harsh. Had gotten a little dry in transit and had some flaking of the wrapper but burnt and smoked well. No real idea what it is though.

[mightyred]

had mine on thursday morning started out a little harsh but then mellowed out somewhat into a lovely smoke cheers

That was as far as it went as it didn't taste too clever. Sooorrry[emoji51]

Seem a bit hit and miss these, which for what they are is a damn shame!

Sorry boys

Not to hijack the thread but the October COTM just arrived, once I've worked out P&P I'll put up a thread.
