    Remember to wash your hands thoroughly after you smoke one of these. Especially if you plan on urinating...

    I was telling my 28 year old youngest son about the Punisher (he doesn't smoke anything, never has) and I told him to stick the tip to his lips so he could see what I was tallking about. The result was freakin hilarious as he ran from the room holding his mouth telling me I was crazy. It took me a while to stop laughing. I told him not to worry his lips would go numb shortly!
    Fantastic.

    The hilarious...the only bad thing is you may never get him to smoke with you, oh well more for you.

    Let me just say this...I rubbed my eye while smoking a Punisher and the burn carried over. Not as bad as rubbing your eyes after handling a hot pepper, but it wasn't pleasant either.

    Wooooow! I must try this. Can you get just them yet or are they still only in the sampiler?

    I have called once, when I ordered my box of Camacho PE, and talked to the Beard himself. I never told him who I was just what i wanted and he comes back and tells me, "Ok Todd, I can get this in the mail the next day, how does that work for you?" I said ok and was wondering, "How in the hell did you know who I am?". I just chalked it up to the POWER OF THE BEARD.................Totally worth it to call just for the experience and I HATE calling people!

    One of these days...I'm just afraid that if I do call in I'll end up buying half of cigar.com's inventory.

    So I had a strange experience with this cigar. First of all, I didn't hate the flavor, it was actually quite good. I did, however, notice that my lips felt like they'd been brushed with capsaicin after I'd smoked it. Also, did anybody else notice that this stick seemed as if it might have been dyed?

    I did notice that, my fingers were a bit brown after I attempted to smoke this one. Hopefully that is not the case because I see that as a cheap attempt to make the cigar "prettier"
  • betasynnbetasynn Posts: 1,249
    A lot of cigars are dyed, but the amount that this cigar seems colored is a little ridiculous. Right up there with the montecristo reserva negra.

    I noticed no color transfer at all with mine
  • nikostewartnikostewart Posts: 451
    Me either, maybe it has something to do with whatever process it is that brings on the "lip burn"

    Same here.

    I finally tried the one Niko gave me. It was good. The lip burn thing wasn't a big deal for me. It just added a spicyness to the pepper flavor which was nice. It's a fairly complex smoke for something so full bodied. You don't see that too often. I've got a 5 pack that I think I'm going to sit on for a while. I'm interested to see what age will do to this one.
  • Gents,

    I just tried one of these out of the "Full Bodied Tap Out" sampler that I ordered.

    This is definitely one of my new favorites!

    I see the Cu-Avana Intenso on Cigar.com but I can fins Cu-Avana Punisher.

    Are they not available by the box or in a single stick?

    Thanks

    Welcome to the forum sleeper.
    You can order a 5 pack for I think around 34.00, but you need to call or email a customer service rep. Email "The Beard" he can help. tblythe @ cigar.com without spaces of course.

    What we have are special pre release batch. The official launch won't be for another month or so. They will be available in a belicoso size in a tube. There may be a special shorty size too in a 4.5 x 60 size

    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.

    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.
