"Winner"
I enjoy some more than others but haven t found a Punch cigar yet that wasn t at least good. I ve had the bareknuckle, signature, rare corojo, and diablo and this pita clasico is just so good. If I had to nitpick the smoke texture is somewhat air-y but the flavors are full and rewarding.
Starts out intense and settles into a medium strength sweet cedar that builds into an earthy black coffee beyond the halfway point dropping some of the sweetness as it goes and picking up some strength. Even the foot smoke is very incense like, powerful but pleasing. More than worthy of daily smoke honors

"My Favorite Cigar"
I have smoked hundreds of different cigars and usually enjoy the variety that sampler packs provide but since I found the Punch Pita it is now my go-to cigar. I never bought boxes of cigars until I found this one. I have had now 5 or 6 boxes and still love them. It is full flavored, creamy smooth, no harshness or pepper zing. People around me love the smell of it too. The only negative is that it is a short filler so the ash only hangs on 1/2 inch. But I can live with that for the great taste and value.

"Nice!"
I ve only bought a single 5 - pack of these thus far - but have greatly enjoyed each one. This is the most robust of the cigars I ve tried in my recent return to cigar smoking. The flavor, which I consider robust, is highly complex and with a really nice, slowly disappearing aftertaste. Unfortunately the only red wine around the house can t quite stand up to the flavor of this cigar. I ve had a bottle of a merlot that is very dark red, drier and more tannic, a taste and appearance that I associate more with a cabernet. After a couple of nice puffs of the Punch Pita the wine is overpowered - a plus in my estimation, as the particular drink is sort of hard to enjoy without the help of this cigar or a moderately strong - flavored cheese. Consistency , though only noted via 5 cigars is excellent. Like another corona I ve tried recently, the Pita burn becomes much cooler and more refreshing with a brief rest, and the rich flavor and aroma become more accessible. Each has lasted an hour and five to ten minutes. That is a fine bit of time for me to sit on my covered porch and listen to and watch the rain at night - so the Punch Pita has become a small ritual of much contemplative pleasure. Will buy more, certainly.

"(( Nice Smoke ))"
The Punch Pita sports a beautiful caramel colored wrapper, and is very well constructed, with a nice tight cap.The even burn easily supports a clean, white, one inch white ash. The first third of the cigar begins with a nice, almost creamy, tobacco and leather taste on the pallet. Through out the second third of the burn, hints, of nutmeg and sweet spice, brush the inside of nose. The last third of the cigar, bombards the nose and pallet with notes of pepper and oak. The burn time on this cigar is approximately 60 minutes. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate this cigar 9

"Most Unquie smoke ive had in a while!"
Wounderful Smoke! Flavor Draw Weight consistancy and burn are all above expected! This is my first punch cigar and its a Wow. My only complaint was the cut was difficult and caused it to split about 1/2 inch to the band. Maybe its time for new cutters =(

"Punch Pita good taste poor draw"
Punch cigars need a construction tune-up. Good taste but the bosses at Punch must be sleeping on the job. Almost all are tight at the draw. Maybe this will wake them up finally.

"Very Enjoyable Cigars"
I have been ordering five packs of Punch and have been very impressed so far. I had a Pita in my humidor for only a few weeks. I lit it up after dinner tonight, and was once again happy I chose a Punch. Nice medium-full body with good flavors; sort of a sweet tobacco taste. I just noticed the price for a box and can't see a reason not to buy two.

"Remarkable"
I just enjoyed one of these beauties with a glass of a nice single malt scotch and was absolutely floored. This combination rendered perhaps one of the most pleasurable experiences of my life. I will definitely buy Punch cigars again and am anxious to try their rare corojo.
