So I ordered a bundle of 25 Punch Rothchild Maduro from Cigar.com for $29.99. Good price. Good cigar. Right?
Wrong. The real reason they are segundos is not just cosmetic problems, it's consistency of flavor that is the problem. I've had 6 so far and, though I loved the first few, it's been real hit and miss. Some taste like a Punch and others taste like that acidic taste you get in your mouth after puking. Not good.
I'd say stay away from these at all costs. The price is right at a little over a buck a stick, but I'd rather put that money into some Flor de Olivas and KNOW that I'm smoking something that I enjoy for about the same price (C-Bid price, that is lol).
Hey, if we're not lookin' out for each other, who will? I'm the type of person that if I buy something that's good, you might hear about it. If I buy something that sucks....you will most certainly hear about it.
Another thing that I forgot is, when I received these, I looked for the Punch seal on the bottom only to find some boutique-sounding factory's name (I'll have to look at the packaging tonight and tell yall where they're from). I don't know if they were outsourced to another factory or just came from a different factory/farm/country all together.....
