Punch Rare Corojo

[snake]

Hey Fellow Bums: Has anyone tried the Punch Rare Corojo? Is it a good smoke for it's price ($6-7)? Thinking about trying one.

[Shemp Jizzle]

try one.

Probably the only NC punch i would smoke again. ( if free*)

[RenoH414]

Haven't been a fan of any NC Punch yet.

It's been a few years and I didn't think it was too bad as I recall. I think I picked up for around $4 though.

6-7 is high... but they are the best of the NC Punch offerings. I would smoke again, if it was my best option at that time, otherwise no.

I've only had the double corona size. Bought a couple fivers and really enjoyed them. I may have one or two that I haven't smoked yet. They're as good as a NC Punch gets, and that's not a bad thing...

[Old Smokey]

I have smoked and enjoyed the 4-5 that I have smoked. I think I may have a couple left that I will smoke at some point. I like the smallest RG the best, but I forgot that they call it. Champion maybe? You could certainly do much worse.

[Cool Breeze]

I've had a few a I like them.
That price is about the same as my B&M has them for.

Try one.

[Upstatemax]

I've had a few, I think they are good. Not very complex, but a well constructed cigar with good flavor.

[JasonBCP]

Good stand-by stick. I too, prefer the Champion size.

Elite, Steve. The small NC Punch and Punch RC is an Elite (5.25 x 45). My favorite vitola for Punch. 6-7 is high. I bought a box of Elites (20-25, can't recall) for $75 last year

Thanks Trent, I knew you knew the answer.

Its better than the Gran Puro, not better than the 10th Anni (limited).

The allure of this cigar is its price. You can find 5ers for 18 bucks. At that price I think Its worth a visit and makes for a good yard gar. If more intrigued by profile than price, some Honduran blended smokes I enjoy and would recommend are the Nat Sherman Timeless 2, Liga Unicos-UF-13, Pig, Dirty Rat, Camacho Liberty 2013, Room 101 Daruma Mutante & Master Collection 2 Mutante.

I am the opposite. I liked the reg better than the Anni, but both are miles ahead of everything else in the NC Punch line up. I say this every single time one of these threads pop up, but the regular RC is a Sumatra wrapper and the Anni is actually a Corojo. Interesting factoid I guess.

The red labeled ones are ...meh

The one with the white label are quite good and complex. I like to let them sit for a 6 month rest and they really come alive! Luckily I have a B&M near me with 2014's still in stock!
