The very yellow cello of the Punch London Club EMS cigar<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I love collecting premium cigars.\u00a0 For me, the cigar passion includes not only the enjoyment of smoking a fine premium cigar, but also the joy of finding an aged beauty nestled deep in my collection that has matured with class.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m shopping for cigars, in addition to features such as a specific wrapper, binder, and filler combination, I also evaluate each cigar on four additional criteria: size, strength, quality, and aging potential.\u00a0 Factor in cost, and you have my equation for selecting cigars to add to my collection.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not often a cigar hits on every single criteria, but it does happen, and those are the cigars I most truly appreciate. The Punch London Club (EMS)<\/a> is one of those rare cigars which does.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll always remember my first London Club, actually a maduro by the way, not because of the smoke, but because of the circumstance.<\/p>\n

My mother and I had driven to Grand Rapids, Minnesota to attend the funeral of my aunt.\u00a0 What started as an uneventful trip began to deteriorate when I was asked to be a pall bearer, a task I lost my taste for years before.\u00a0 Grudgingly I agreed, moved alone by a sense of responsibility being the only first degree male relative present.\u00a0 Just as the service was to begin, a older gentleman from the church came rushing to the front of the church where my fellow load-bearers and I waited patiently.\u00a0 Breathless, the man told me I was needed in the basement right away, something had happened to my mom.\u00a0 Rushing to the basement, I found my mom sitting on the floor cradling her wrist having fallen on a loose tile on the stairs I had just descended.\u00a0 One look told me it was broken.<\/p>\n

I got out of being a pallbearer in exchange for several hours in the tiny local ER listening to the stories told to me by the middle aged woman seated next to me and suffering from a \u201chog bite\u201d to her hand.\u00a0 Are those banjos?<\/p>\n

This happened years ago when I was still a newbie feeling my way through the world of fine cigars.\u00a0 After getting back to the hotel and getting mom comfortable I wanted a cigar.\u00a0 I mean I really wanted a cigar!<\/p>\n

Grand Rapids, Minnesota isn\u2019t quite the center of the cigar industry, but I was able to locate one shop open past six on a Saturday and proceeded with as much haste as the local law enforcement would allow me.<\/p>\n

Entering the shop I was instantly taken by the inventory, or lack thereof.\u00a0 Toward the back of the shop in a glass display case were some Hoyos, Macanudo, and other common brands among them a few boxes of Punch cigars.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t see any brands that I hadn\u2019t previously sampled, with the exception of the Punch.\u00a0 Up to this point, I had foolishly dismissed the brand due to what I thought was a goofy name.\u00a0 But, there was one box of the London Club size with the maduro wrapper which looked like it would fit my intended smoking time.\u00a0 So I grabbed two sticks, paid the man, and headed back\u00a0 to my hotel to try what I hoped would be a passable smoke.<\/p>\n

Long story short, I loved the cigars and wound up smoking both cigars back to back.\u00a0 Back home, I found the London Club again, this time in the English Market Selection (EMS) wrapper and since my first, I\u2019ve never looked back. I make certain I always have a box in the humidor.<\/p>\n

For their English Market Selection Punch cigars<\/a>, General Cigar uses some of the finest Ecuadorian grown, Sumatra-seed wrapper around.\u00a0 The wrapper is a gorgeous colorado maduro tone with a slight tooth and great oils.\u00a0 Under this lies a US Connecticut Broadleaf binder that adds a touch of sweetness to the taste and a hint of woody depth to the aroma.\u00a0 The filler blend consists of Dominican, Honduran, and Nicaraguan tobaccos all grown from Cuban seed which impart a rich, savory taste to each cigar.<\/p>\n

\n

The razor edge burn and white ash of the London Club EMS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Smoking the London Club is effortless.\u00a0 The construction of these cigars is great allowing for easy puffs, a flawless burn, and a cool smoke, if not rushed.<\/p>\n

When I bought this box in 2009 the cigars had a significant amount of spice in the opening puffs and first third which has been tempered with age.\u00a0 Don\u2019t get me wrong, the opening puffs remain quite potent, but are not in the least unpleasant or harsh.\u00a0 Characteristic Honduran spiciness and Nicaraguan richness are present on the retro-hale throughout the cigar, with a pleasant sweeter tone likely contributed by the Dominican fillers.<\/p>\n

The finish the London Club (EMS) produces is rich, mouth-watering, and quite persistent.\u00a0 As the cigar progresses the finish transitions from sweet tobacco to an oaky flavor with a distinct bourbon-like taste.<\/p>\n

The Punch London Club takes somewhere between 30 and 40 minutes to smoke, depending on your voracity, which is decent for a petit corona.<\/p>\n

Priced under $50 for a box of 25 or a paltry $2.45 for a single, the Punch London Club is hands down my favorite bargain in Cigardom.\u00a0 Premium through and through, tasty and aromatic, with amazing aging potential I recommend this cigar to everyone I know that favors full bodied cigars and great cost savings.<\/p>\n

Seriously, what other cigar can deliver so much for so little?<\/p>\n
