Punch Natural After Dinner - 2018 #12 Cigar of the Year


While a few other old world frontmarks usually get more recognition from the general public,
for the true aficionado there might be no more iconic cigar than the Punch
Natural After Dinner. That's because for decades, delicious Punch stogies
have been boon companions to a legion of medium-full fanatics hungry for
reliable taste and quality. Expertly crafted in Honduras, each powerful smoke
is built from a wide array of cured longleaf. With an Ecuadoran Sumatra
wrapper, a Broadleaf binder from Connecticut, and a potent filler blend containing
tobaccos from Nicaragua, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic, every
vitola fulfills the need for flavor that stands its ground.
If consistency and quality are important to you when considering a premium cigar, and they
should be, then the 93-rated Punch Natural After Dinner could and should be
your new benchmark. Expertly constructed, each and every 7 1/4" x 45 stick
could be the illustration beside a dictionary's definition of 'Cigar'. More than just
an impressive display of a torcedor's art, the flavors found within each rich
brown barrel are the stuff of dreams. At first earthy with bursts of warm
spice and cream, there's some espresso and a caramel-like sweetness that backs
into the profile the further the razor-sharp burn line progresses. Towards
the end, discover a nice layer of leather and wood to keep you coming back for more.
Easily one of the most amazing things about these cigars, other than the myriad positive
attributes noted above, is the fact that these cigars are still some of
the more affordable premium stogies on the market.
