Partagas & Punch ?

I have never tried either of these ? Which Punch and which Partagas should I start with ?

I like medium to full cigars.

Thanks for your opinions.

just go pick you up a partagas black lable and try it out.

Punch champions are one of my favorites

Will do. I always see them in the store but have never tried them. Thanks !

i had a Partagas Black not long ago, very good. Found it to be medium bodied and tasted coffee through the whole thing. Not badly priced either.

Are these hard to find ? I dont see them on my usual sites ?

I'm not too fond of either line, or for that fact, most cigars from General Cigar. They just don't impress me much with their blends or their construction. I've had too many burn problems with them.

I got a Punch Champion once that had green tobacco in it; about ten minutes after I lit up, I got a horrible, intense, stabbing, blinding headache and had to pitch the cigar. That's never happened with any other cigar manufacturer.

I too had some terribly unpleasant experiences with the Punch stuff. I believe it was a Gran Cru or something. It was the worse cigar I have ever had in my life, bitter, nasty, and I would have preferred chewing lead paint chips.

Mmm....paint chips

I personally hate the Domestic Partagas line. ISOM on the other hand :smiley27:

I would go with the Punch..the GCN2 is a good one that I enjoy every now and then.

I had a box of Punch Champions and they were great. Oh well.

I like the Partagas Naturales and the Spanish Rosado lines. You can't go wrong with the Black.

Also, if you like the shape of the Champion and want the Partagas taste, go with the Partagas Cifuentes Agosto...very, very interesting smoke.
