Default Re: Punch Cask Aged

Do you know how these hold up to traditional uncask aged sticks of the same brand?

I still have about 9 left from my original purchase. I smoked one last week and it was everything I have come to enjoy from a Punch. The flavor profile was still good, the draw was good and the burn was very even. I keep them in the cask inside a cooler I use for storage. It's maintained at 65%.

I added a cask of the Dominican Cohiba's last month but haven't tried one of them lately.

I doubt I would even smoke the cigars, but I might still be tempted to buy some just for the silly barrel. which is probably what JR is counting on. It's a gimmick, but it works!

I can see the gimmick part but all of the cigars offered this way are the same exact size. For all of them the size is not a traditional one either. The value seems to be pretty spot on though. Just want to know if I get the Partagas Blacks are they gonna taste like Partagas Blacks.

I would say yes. The Punch that I bought taste just like the Punch I usually smoke.

Thanks. I think that for $70 a cask it's not too bad then.
