okay so actually its an essay i wrote for a class all in all though id give this cigar an 86
Punch Grand Puro Cigars are one thing almost anyone can appreciate at the right time. Many people even appreciate them daily. It is an understandable thing. At the end of a long hard day of work, few things can relax cigar smokers except for a great cigar. One of those great cigars is the Punch Grand Puro Santa Rita. A very complex robusto for a good price. There's only three ways to tell if its a great cigar: the cigar's look, the aroma, and the taste. This four and a half inch cigar with a ring size of fifty-two has a maduro wrapper that almost looks so chocolaty as to be edible. The wrapper is a dark brown with a rounded head and near perfect construction. Small lines forming crude triangles run all over this beautifully made cigar, causing it to appear older than it is. Only one slight opening in the wrapper, nearly an inch up from the foot, can be seen so minute, that it is almost nonexistent. The flaw is just a quarter of an inch bit of wrapper that happens to be out of touch with the rest of the cigar's body. The small flaw disappears as this breathtaking work of the human hand is smoked. All of that is nothing compared to the complex aroma. The smell of a great cigar can change so fast that only a few brilliant connoisseurs can remember how it started. Before it is lit it smells almost like a complex cup of hot chocolate with a dash of vanilla flavoring. It smells nearly sickly sweet. Upon lighting the cigar it smells like burnt grass until the aroma changes to a subtle spiciness. Though passersby may call this cigar "stinky" an aficionado would call it pure bliss. The aroma can't even begin to rival the amazing taste. It all comes down to how the cigar actually tastes. For about the first 1/4 of it tastes creamy almost like cool whip except not as sweet. The flavor changes after that first 1/4 and turns into a peppered wood taste. Toward the last 1/4 of it the flavor turns more into a black pepper with just a little bit of a leather undertone. The finish of the cigar turns almost harsh with overpowering pepper and its over. Nearly an hour of bliss gotten out of a five-dollar cigar that was aged for 2 years. That is well worth the price. People for decades have smoked cigars. From presidents to the humble, kings to peons, and it's a hobby that maybe not everyone can pursue but with a little knowledge and first hand accounts can understand. It has been a conquest of many to find that perfect cigar for themselves. Many have tried and many haven't succeeded. Since there are so many cigars out there it is improbable to go through them all and find the perfect cigar, but not a great cigar. There are only three ways to tell if its a great cigar; the cigar's look, the aroma, and the taste. It has to have a good look with few(if any flaws). The aroma has to be strong and pleasant. Last but not least, the cigar absolutely has to taste good to the smoker.

I've only tried one punch puro. I didnt much like it. I dont know, but Im not too sure I'm a fan of the honduran tobacco. That's what's been keeping me from trying camacho. I always see ads but never bite. What's your take, since you apparently like the punch brands.

spt go pick up a punch rare corojo and try that its imho a little more mild and great throughout also it is nicaraguan dominican and honduran filler so you might like it better than the puro which is a honduran puro
