I purchased a box of Punch Punch at the Dubai Duty Free. Corona gorda is one of my favorite formats and I wanted to see whether this less known cigar can match a Magnum 46 or a Siglo IV.

Appearance : ★★★★½
The Punch Punch sports a delicious and quite oily maduro wrapper. It had a couple of major veins.

Punch Punch

Construction : ★★★★½
I easily cut it and lit it up. The draw was fine and I only needed one correction keep the burn straight. The pre-draw deploys spice and honey flavors.

Punch Punch 
Flavor : ★★★★☆
The first puffs are cedary like a good classic Cuban, with just a hint of spice. The start is quite mild but the power increases little by little. In the second third, I feel some leather notes and the stick is getting stronger, it's still medium-bodied though. The final third is rather earthy and close to full-bodied. Nice flavor, but a little uni-dimensional.

Punch Punch

Value : ★★★★½
At a little bit over $7 per stick, I am not disappointed.

Overall Rating : ★★★★½
Although not as complex as the best corona gordas in the league, the Punch Punch is a remarkable cigar. I really enjoyed it. Recommended.
