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

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.

FYI

Punch Rare Corojo Magnum (25) (#2106405) - CigarBid.com

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!
