Punch La Isla Edición Regional Cuba 2018
A third Robustos exclusively for Cuba.
Although the regional editions programme was launched in 2005, it was not until 2009 that the first "Exclusivo Cuba" cigar appeared: the Deliciosos from La Gloria Cubana, a Hermosos No.4 (48 x 127 mm), presented in a jar of 25 cigars (2,000 numbered jars were produced). Since then, the island of Cuba has received five other exclusive cigars. Among them, we find 3 Robustos, without doubt the most popular vitola of the moment. Let's take a look today at the latest one: the Punch La Isla Edición Regional Cuba 2018!
"The Island" in English, is the first Punch vitola with a second "Exclusivo Cuba" band. However, the vitola is well known to the brand as La Isla is the fourth Robustos produced by Punch in the Regional Editions. The first of these, released in 2005, was for Switzerland, the Punch Robusto Edición Regional Suiza, which was the first vitola to join the "Edición Regional" programme.
The first puffs of Punch La Isla give us peppery notes, both on the palate and on the nose. A combination of black and white peppers softened by creamy flavours. This very pleasant profile leads into the second third where the pepper gradually fades away to make way for more creaminess. The draw and volume of smoke offer a truly pleasurable overall experience. The last third is more radical, with vegetal, fire and bread notes entering the scene. Pepper aromas also return. La Isla still needs a few years to harmonise all these flavours. However, it is certain that it already has all the attributes to become an excellent cigar, which will take you back to the memories of your last trip to Cuba.
The production of La Isla, limited to 10,000 boxes of 10 cigars, made it at the time the most important Cuban regional edition. This is now matched by the San Cristóbal de la Habana La Cabaña Edición Regional Cuba, the brand's first regional edition, released the following year. Each of the boxes is individually numbered and exclusively for Cuba.
