Saw this cigar while I was purchasing some scotch and figured I would give it a whirl. I always liked Punch double maduros and have never had one I would consider bad.
The Punch Champion Double Maduro is a great looking (and somewhat hard to find) figurado measuring 4.5x60, and it really reminded me of an AF Hemingway WOAM. The wrapper was a dark chocolate color and a little toothy. The cigar was heavy for its size and had a tiny split in the wrapper under the label.
Off the light I got a bitter smack, which I am not a fan of, and thought the worst... But this baby quickly settled into a slew of flavors, primarily woodsy and leathery with a mocha background. Burn was perfect throughout the smoke and the flavors changed as the ash progressed, eventually picking up some mustiness and pepper. I really enjoyed this one and smoked it to the nub.
Id suggest trying these if you are a maduro fan, you cant go wrong at the right price (less than 5.00 US).
