these are expensive..anyone try them,wondering why these are so pricey?

Only 1210 boxes made. It's a vitola that hasn't been made since the 60s

I've been wondering the same thing myself.. Haven't had the pleasure in trying one, but I think, I THINK, it was because they dug out a really old box of the same vitola and replicated it (thus the high novelty/emotional value), rather than just telling Habanos to make a certain blend in a certain size.

Personally I like the look of the Glorioso's better..

Care to shed some light on this smokeymo?

for a freshie, they are primo. Sheri gifted me a couple. class act for sure!

Pretty good for a fresh cigar, but I won't touch the other 24 for a couple years. These have great aging potential.

it's funny i buy lots of cigars with the intention of putting them down,is it right or should we just enjoy them....my buddy lost his father this week and it makes me think? i guess that's life..sorry for getting deep.

I have these and the Gloriosos. No contest, the Punch are much much better than the Gloriosos.

The punch is one of the nicest RE I have tried. And was smoking beautifully from the get go. You can tell very high quality leaf was used for these. If you have the chance pick up a box you wont be dissapointed.

Long term is good when your 20 once you hit 50 you see the world in a different view.
Life is for the living my friend. Enjoy it while its here.

I'M 45.....SHOULD BE ABLE HANG-ON.....SOLUTION...BY DOUBLES ENJOY THEN NOW AND THEN...LOL...I HEAR YOU THOU..

First rate recreation of a cigar that was last believed made in the early 1970's ( we have an original complete box)

Full bodied,full flavour and medium to full strength. Well balanced,perfectlty crafted with a beautiful colroado-colrado maduro wrapper and smoking like a dream now with a blend that lends itself to long term maturing

One for the connoisseur
