Smoked one this morning when the power went out, intensely awesome stick just felt it got a little bitter in the final 3rd, loved the lip burn though.
I agree it does come around as it burns down. For me it was about the half way mark or either that was when my lips finally went numb and I started noticing the flavor. LOL

LOL. I was blaming it on the peppery meal I had just eaten. But, I guess everyone is experiencing the same.
Smoked my 2nd one in another Intenso "In extremis" Saturday and I find that I really like the burn and the flavor. Lovers of hot sauce should find this stick interesting. I have acquired 2 more as a result of my testing.
HOT DAMN!!! I mean it - HOT! This is a great smoke as well, great construction and I picked up some coco notes, and tons of spice. When will the boxes of these be out?!
i wonder what this cigar will be like in 10 years....
one way to find out...
Hop in the hot tub time machine?
I'm curious myself as to how these will age. Based on smoking one, I'm of the opinion that 3-4 years will max this one out...now I could be, and most likely am, wrong, but something about the cigar tells me it won't lend well to long term aging.

Matt, I've got 2 of them to send your way if you'd like to do a blind trade on 'em, let me know.

Anyone else notice that the spice aspect seems to rub off a bit if they're placed next to other cigars? It's really not surprising considering how potent the burn can be on some of them.
Bumping this one up... just received my box off the DD. Great box, all individual dividers and each stick in an aluminum tube. Total time on the BBT was under 24 hours so I didn't feel to bad about lighting one up right away. Definitely an unexpected bite at first. Do they dip the end in Texas Pete's? Overall a great, slow, easy burning smoke. Lots of flavor. Have a glass of water handy to relieve your lips. I enjoyed it a lot, didn't think it was crazy powerful though.
I received one in A bomb recently. After reading your review I think I'll wait A while before lighting this one up. There's A chance I'm not man enough to handle this one at this time.
I have to agree with you gypsy. Very nice smoke. How does the intenso compare in your opinion?
The Intenso isn't as spicy to me, but I honestly think it has a fuller body. It won't kick your sinus quite as hard on the retrohale either, but I have the Intensos in churchill size, and after 90 min of Intenso, I feel it way more than 90 min of Pvnisher... could just be me though.
they are both good smokes, but for the dif in cost, I'll smoke the intenso 4 to 1 over Pvnisher. Pvnisher is more "complete" and more spicy, but Intenso is a great smoke when you want a true powerhouse cigar, imho.
I agree, Intenso is not quite as polished and smooth as the punisher but always a fav of mine. In the Intenso I prefer the Gordo and Torpedo over the other sizes
This cigar is kicking my ass! Smoking one right now to see if I liked it to buy the shorty edition 5 pack. Lips are burning! Tons of pepper taste. Mellowed out a bit after an inch and a half or so. Still getting pepper, some wood, a bit of burnt coffee taste. Definitely glad a I ate something before I had this stick. I can feel it in my gut and head.

I'm telling you guys.. A punisher badge should be in the works

Cool, just send me a PM if you are interested.
