Review: Punch Gran Puro (Libertad)

uThis is a very nice smoke, full bodied and has a nice hint of spice in it. It comes in a metal tube with a layer of spanish cedar wrapped around it to give it a good bit more of that cedar flavor that I love so much. Sometimes i keep some of the cedar arouns just to smell it from time to time. it has a farly large ring guage, and yes I realized I left the size of the last cigar from my review but i forget it. I won't for break out one of these bad boys I usually here "damn that is a huge cigar"!

The Gran Puro is one of my many favrite cigars, it's strong but not so strong that it makes you think "Jesus i think my mouth is on fire!" It's about a 7.5 on the strength meter but that bit of spice really makes it worth enjoying it until you almost smoke enough to burn your finger tips.

So on to the ratings!

Nose: 8
You get a lot of cedar which as you know I love, but not much spice.

Taste: 9.5
One of the best out there as far as taste goes as far as I'm concerned, but again we all have different ideas of what tastes good.

Feel: 9
Very nice and uniform, mostly from being in the meal tubes, those help a lost during shipping and prevnting your prized cigars from being banged up.

Draw: 7
Draw i gave a 7 because of the large size it's kind of hard to draw from sometimes, but not so hard as to ruin the experience. It's still in my top cigars and is a great long lasting smoke

Room note: 10
This bad boy really stinks up a room fast, and keeps the flavor of the cigar well in the smoke, that bit of spice really sticks around.

Life in my Humidor: 4
I like to keep a few of these guys around, especially in the winter.

Measurements (told you I wouldn't forget this time)
Length: 5 in Ring Size 52.

Until Next time, Happy Smoking
