"SO THIS IS THE 'CHAMPION'"
SMOKEDMY FIRST TWO 'CHAMPIONS' THIS WEEK. THE FLAVOR IS OUTSTANDING BUT I FIND THEM A BIT TOO MILD. I AM BIG ON THE PUNCH OSCURO LINE. HOW-
EVER, I'LL NOT TURN DOWN THE CHAMPION LINE.
SURPRISED ME.

"Stand up little rocket"
This cigar is a sweet little number, self-contained and good with cognac. Like a good movie that is not too heavy - entertaining and ejoyable and never a downer.

"So-so"
I tried this cigar based on the reviews that I read, I was a little disapointed after trying a few of these. The appearance is stunning, but I found that it did not draw or burn well. The first two thirds tasted pretty good to me but the latter third dropped off my charts for a repeat purchase. For perspective, I have only been smoking finer cigars for about a year so it is possible that I am not seasoned enough to provide an excellent critique, favorites are definitely a personal preference, and should be considered.

"Hey Mike JRCigars Charges for Shipping Per Item."
Hey Mike,
JRCigars Charges for shipping. They may be a buck cheaper on some things but they charge $3 per item not order . The retail stores are nice though. Famous offers free shipping on orders over $80+. Better deal. Do the math.

"More than a conversation starter"
The figurado shape will have people asking what you are smoking. These are great tasting cigars, not too strong and full of flavour. Taste doesn't change that much once you pass the wide point, but is still good. These will last just under an hour if you take your time.

"Very Good Short Smoke"
My favorite Punch is the Double Corona. I was looking for a shorter (45 min) smoke and was not dissappointed with the Champion. Only draw back is the burn which is usually quite uneven, even after 6 months in the humi! Excellent draw, unique shape, pleasant auroma. Very nice after supper with a glass of port. Will keep some on hand for an evening "quickie" amongst my Double's, RP's, and Don Pepin's.

"Good Short Smoke"
A very good 45-50 min smoke reasonably priced. A full bodied smoke with a taste and fullness closer to a Cuban than many cigars costing three or four times as much. I have had several burn unevenly, but I am willing to put up with it, plus the more care you take in lighting, the lower the chance of uneven burning getting a foothold. Pretty classic Punch product, I think, more cigar than you would think you would get for the money.

"The Champion"
Just had my first punch champion yesterday, wow one heavy Honduran. The begining was a little rocky, it was a tad harsh and it had some burn problems, but I evened it out with the torch lighter. The taste got smoother, and stronger with every puff, and all of the ash stayed on all the way to the nub, which shows you how well they're made. Overall a good cigar at a good price, it did make me sitdown and I even ate a small meal before smoking this thing, so it's not an every day smoke for me, I prefer a smoother shorter maduro smoke for that, but if you feel the need for a strong honduran flavored smoke at a reasonable price look no further. Plus it has a nice figurado shape.
