Punch Platino

[mk05]

Has anyone recently had these? I remember these being reviewed in 2009 as being great first third and then waning. Wondering how these are fairing now. Seems like an ok deal? I have no clue how much these were originally, as I am mostly uninterested in Punch, but currently seems so exorbitantly priced everywhere.

$500 originally

See other thread... it is a good deal. Oh if I only spent this kind of money I would grab it. Even a box split would end up in divorce court for me...

:tears:

Best young punch I've ever smoked.

I too am not a fan of Punch so I can't comment on the cigars, but if anyone has concerns about the seller I can say he is a honorable BOTL that lives in my area, so don't worry about buying from him.

wasnt making presumptions about the seller and thanks for addressing, just was wondering about the sticks in general and how they are doing now.

PartagasIV, do Punch usually need more than 5yrs, do they drop off with age, etc, I have probably smoke 3 total in my life.

I have some 07 Punch Punch that are smoking beautifully right now, and I really enjoy them.  I have never smoked one of these though.

^^^ No way... something fishy there? They are $800 and only available in Terminal 3, New Delhi Air Terminal... and maybe a reseller at $650- 750 if you are super lucky.

First, wrong room newbie  ;D This is the battlezone.

Second, I have a box resting, paid $499-599 (can't remember now) via "well liked and widely used vendor". OP price seems OK to me.

Third, post up in LV or So. Cal and we can Herf a few and you can decide for yourself.

Correction, This was for a box of 10, and the seller was showing a box of 25. So it all the same. The seller has them if you are there at the right minute. Thank you for this clarification.
