General Information

The Punch Royal Seleccion No.12 SLB comes in a Petit Corona shape. It's hand - made, with an origin in Cuba. The size is 129 x 16.67 mm (5 x 42), and it weighs 8.46 g. The box code is PUT JUN 05, and it costs about $6 each.

Appearance

It has a classic wrapper color for Cuban cigars and a triple cap, presenting a nice look.

Construction

Like many Cuban petit coronas, the draw might be tight on some cigars from the same box. However, it generally burns evenly and produces a good amount of smoke.

Flavor

• One third: It starts with powerful woody flavors and rapidly develops spicy and cocoa notes.
• Two thirds: Medium - to - full - bodied, with distinguishable espresso notes.
• Three thirds: It doesn't bring new aromas, which is disappointing.

Value

It's slightly more expensive than other marevas, but prices depend on the retailer.

Opinions vary on this cigar. Some people detect floral and grassy notes, while the reviewer didn't. It might be worth a try.
