(Description provided by General Cigar)

Dad bod; noun -- the physique of adult males who prefer to drink from a six pack instead of spending countless hours at the gym obsessing over their abs.

The team at Punch is declaring this the “summer of the Dad Bod” with the launch of Punch Dad Bod, a paunchy, limited-edition release that will ship to retail in a cool Father’s Day keepsake that you or your Dad will actually want to hold on to.

Punch Dad Bod comes packed in four, reusable stash cans that each contain five cigars and are complete with Boveda humidification. The keepsake cans can be used as a humidor, a portable ashtray or placed anywhere as a reminder that the Dad Bod is where it’s at.

John Hakim, brand manager for Punch said, “Father’s Day is the perfect time for us to let the world know that we salute dads, the Dad bod and the pleasure of smoking a great cigar. So we created this special expression and packed it in tins that own the soft-in-the-middle physique with pride. Dad Bod is about showing our support for the salt-of-the-earth Punch smokers who continue to make Punch their go-to brand.”

Handcrafted at HATSA in Honduras, Punch Dad Bod is a six-country blend made with a Cameroon wrapper, a USA Connecticut broadleaf binder and a blend of filler tobaccos that includes Nicaraguan Condega, Dominican Piloto Cubano, Honduran La Entrada and Brazilian Mata Fina. The result is a smooth-smoking, medium-bodied blend that is at the same time sweet, spicy and leathery.

Punch Dad Bod cigars sport a tie-shaped band and are available in a “Champion” size that gives a nod to the reverence Punch has for Dads and Dad bods. Shipping to retailers on May 1, the set contains four metal stash cans, each holding five cigars for a total of 20 Punch Dad Bods per set.

The cigar has a nice shape and feel in the hand.

The test draw after cutting the cap was good. The initial flavors at light up were citrus, apple, brown sugar, earthiness, and black coffee. There was black pepper rated at 7 to 7 1/2. A nice sweet start.

At the first third (25 minutes) the flavors are about the same except there are some nougat notes developing. The cigar is medium bodied. The finish is brown sugar with pretty good lingering black pepper. The cigar tastes pretty good. I'm enjoying it. I rated the first third 93.

As I moved through the second third (46 minutes) there was a little more black coffee. The sweet notes are close to, if not the same. The nougat really helps. The cigar is medium bodied but it's pushing medium to full. The finish is nougat with very good lingering black pepper. The cigar continues to be good. I held the score of 93.

The cigar lasted 1 hour 2 minutes. In the final third the cigar whittled down to nougat, brown sugar, and a lot of earthy black coffee. The cigar is full bodied. The finish is nougat with some black coffee and very good lingering black pepper. I lost the citrus and apple notes which were a good part of the sweetness. I rated the final third 90. I think this is a cigar worth a try. I think your dad would enjoy this one.

Overall Score: 92
