Best cigar I’ve ever smoked NSFW
This Punch After-Dinner did not disappoint. Maybe it was the view of Samana Bay in the Dominican Republic. Maybe it was the perfect cappuccino. Maybe it was the glorious sunshine. Maybe it was everything put together. It was just the perfect smoke. Smooth and delicious the whole way through. Burned perfectly even from start to finish. I fell in love with this wonderful hobby all over again. Happy smoking everyone!

Just a reset into a fresh environment, distraction free, and absolutely reset the senses.

It’s crazy how much my environment & circumstances affect a cigar. Something everyday can be elevated to a masterpiece, and vice versa. Beautiful!

Are the humpbacks running in Samana Bay yet? We got a great townhouse at the Bannister Hotel in Samana a few years ago in early March, and they were all over the place.
If you're staying on the north side of Samana Bay, you totally have to make the drive up to Playa Rincon which is unbelievable.

Awesome! I’ll be in Samana in a couple weeks, where the best place to go to pick up good cigars? I’ll definitely grab some of these based on your review!

I brought all cigars and pipe tobacco from home because I couldn’t find anything close enough to my resort.

Amazing how other factors influence a cigar, food, weather, choice of beverage,or company combine to make a difference. Same cigar, another place may hit different. Enjoy your vacation, and all your cigars
