The verdict
The Punch Double Coronas is a richer, medium-to-full smoke from Punch's Punch (Cuba) line. It's a Cuban prominente wrapped in Cuban at 7.6 in × 49.
On the palate, expect cedar, cocoa, and white pepper, leaning earthy. Plan on roughly 85 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with aged rum, cognac, and espresso. If you're newer to cigars, work up to this one rather than starting here.
The Punch Double Coronas is a big, ceremonial Havana for when you have the time to do it justice. In the Prominente format — 7.6 inches at a 49 ring gauge — it's a two-hour cigar, and one of the most respected large-format smokes in the Cuban catalog.
What it tastes like
Wrapped in a rich colorado-maduro leaf, it opens with cedar, toasted tobacco and a hint of floral sweetness. Once it gets going you find white pepper, creamy vanilla and chocolate over a warm tobacco base. The real magic is in the second half, where the all-Cuban Vuelta Abajo blend layers in cherry, nut, honey and a touch of orange zest. It's a medium-full cigar that stays remarkably composed across its long burn.
Who it's for
This one rewards patience and experience — it's a cigar to savor slowly with a drink, not a quick smoke. If two hours is too much, the Punch Punch delivers the same house character in a more manageable Corona Gorda.
