Punch Pita Toro
This is the stick that started my love of handmade premium cigars. It wasn't my first cigar but it was the first one I fell in love with. Punch Pita Toro - Ecuadorian Sumatra Wrapper This Honduran blend with an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper is one of my daily favorites. This particular one has a sturdy crown, a rough foot and some mottles along the wrapper edge toward the foot. Typically they are featured but elegant. Today, mine is dusted in plume. It’s reddish brown wrapper is just a little bumpy but even in coloring. The sturdy construction holds up well on my windy patio. The first draws are cedar and pepper at full flavor and it never backs off. It’s complex and sophisticated without being obtuse. Toward the middle I get honey, leather, and coffee hints. Nothing strong. The burn stays even, piling up stripes of white ash which falls to a cone at the first third. So far, so good. And the flavor picks up even more here. I really enjoy giving these to new cigar ...
