Punch Royal Edicion Regional Benelux

The Punch Royal Edición Regional Benelux (2009) is a robusto, measuring 5 5/8 inches by 50 ring gauge, and is crafted using entirely Cuban tobacco. As it is lit, the cigar unleashes a powerful flavor profile, characterized by a prominent black pepper taste, accompanied by undertones of nuttiness, vanilla, cedarwood, and cinnamon. As the smoke progresses into its second third, a hint of fruitiness surfaces, enriching the overall experience. The cigar's wrapper is a delicate, light brown hue with a subtle oiliness, visible veining, and a smooth texture that is slightly wrinkled. The draw is consistently smooth, yielding a generous amount of smoke, and the ash remains firm and white, holding steady beyond an inch. Although the burn can be somewhat uneven, necessitating the occasional touch-up, the cigar remains enjoyable throughout, retaining its complex flavor profile until the final third.
