The Punch Short embodies Cuban tradition in a compact format with a generous ring gauge. Upon lighting, it evokes buttery biscuit, pecan, and graham cracker, with a subtle spice on the retrohale. The progression brings a creamy texture, touches of honey and vanilla, on a background of toasted cedar. Medium to medium-full strength, generous but balanced smoke. Distinction: rated 93 points by Cigar Aficionado.
