try one.
Probably the only NC punch i would smoke again. ( if free*)
Haven't been a fan of any NC Punch yet.

It's been a few years and I didn't think it was too bad as I recall. I think I picked up for around $4 though.
6-7 is high... but they are the best of the NC Punch offerings. I would smoke again, if it was my best option at that time, otherwise no.
I've only had the double corona size. Bought a couple fivers and really enjoyed them. I may have one or two that I haven't smoked yet. They're as good as a NC Punch gets, and that's not a bad thing...
I have smoked and enjoyed the 4-5 that I have smoked. I think I may have a couple left that I will smoke at some point. I like the smallest RG the best, but I forgot that they call it. Champion maybe? You could certainly do much worse.
I've had a few a I like them.
That price is about the same as my B&M has them for.
Try one.
I've had a few, I think they are good. Not very complex, but a well constructed cigar with good flavor.
Good stand-by stick. I too, prefer the Champion size.

Thanks Trent, I knew you knew the answer.Quote:

I am the opposite. I liked the reg better than the Anni, but both are miles ahead of everything else in the NC Punch line up. I say this every single time one of these threads pop up, but the regular RC is a Sumatra wrapper and the Anni is actually a Corojo. Interesting factoid I guess.Quote:

The one with the white label are quite good and complex. I like to let them sit for a 6 month rest and they really come alive! Luckily I have a B&M near me with 2014's still in stock!
