"IMO they were ok. For the same price I could name a few cigars I would prefer over the one named above"

So..... Name them!

yeah, could you name a few? Im still a noob, and I simply get mixed samplers to see what good and whats not, so knowing whats similar would be gold..

Back to the Punch...im setting up a tupperdore at the moment (getting a humi after my wedding) so I will be puting one away, and hopefully I wont be tempted.. Got 3 left.... really enjoyed them. They are the Rothschild's, and it was a good ' under an our smoke'.

Getting off track, I ordered these from atlanticcigar, and was oretty pi$$ed off with there service. They took ages to confirm, take money off my cc, wouldnt reply to e-mail etc. It took 3 weeks from order to delivery. I sent them a nastygram, placed another order..... Had it in 4 days. So, they redeemed themselves, and I will continue to order thru them.

Hoo Roo!

Gran Habano #5 - $4 (also marketed as a Corojo)
ERdM oscuro robusto $3 excellent cigar
LFD Chisel or Chiselito $6 & $5, respectively

After reading the first post in this thread, I found a new box of the Punch RC's at the local B&M and grabbed a couple of magnums. Beautiful cigar - box press, red wrapper, good draw. It had substance. first 1/2" or so I felt like I was smoking a loaf of bread - not a bad thing, taste was a few notches above neutral, trying to be rich. Then the flavor kicked in some more and it reminded me very much of the above-mentioned #5. ok, but not one I'd have in rotation.

I have enjoyed a few of the Rare Corojo, they are quite tasty.
I also heard the thing regarding the absence of crojo leaf, I guess that's why they use the word rare in the name.
