#16: Punch Gran Puro and Diesel Unlimited

Great cigars, they have a great taste from the time you light them.

Nice smoke

Great cigars for a fair price. Two of my fave brands, together at last. 😁

Nice smokes

A winning combination – two very good sticks and it was a great deal.

The Punch cigars were really good. They burned well and have a great taste with an earthy aroma. The Diesl cigars were wrapped too tight and didn’t burn well. I’d get all Punch next time.

Fantastic pairing of two heavies.

You guys rock

Rated 90 for both cigars excellent cigars excellent service thank you

What a great group of smokes! Very inexpensive for some really nice smoking cigars! This one will become one of my staple smokes moving forward! Really enjoyable!

The Punch Gran Puros are always a favorite, wasn’t experienced with the Diesel until now. Logical pairing. Similar peppery full bodied smokes, with the obvious champ between the two being the Punch.

Great tasting cigars.

They’re fine

Was happy with the Diesels but the Gran Puros were dry as a bone even after two weeks in the humidor.

Outstanding price my pallet was full of flavors smell draw was excellent no one compares To cigar international excellent combo keep up the good work thanks so much look forward to do with you throughout the rest of my life thanks again

Was sent a wrong item instead of what I ordered. I called and the customer service person corrected the error. She was super.

Punch good no post day aftertaste, Diesel good also but aftertaste the next day... not nessesarily a terrible thing.

Great taste well constructed beautiful smell

Deisel r always good. Punch were so-so

Diesel and Gurkha burns even and smells like a good cigar but Punch doesn't stay lit well and not as good tasting

good draw and they stay lit for a proper amount of time.

Both brands were top notch ! Great long burning cigars Will order again !!

Great smoke will be getting more.

Always enjoy Punch.

One of the best cigars I've ever bought

Overall, very good. The unlimited is okay, not quite as good as the original, which is my favorite smoke. The Gran Puro was also good, though I prefer the Nicaraguan. Again, good for a change, did not disappoint, but not my favorites.

Great overall cigars. For robust and full flavored cigars, they're smooth, have a nice ash and draw.

Both are excellent cigars. Burn great, taste great, fairly priced. A nice package.

Nice combo both well constructed and to my liking

great cigars, I specially enjoy diesel although punch is also one of the best

The Punch and Diesel are both great full-bodied cigars. Good construction and draw, holds an ash, smells great!

I said five stars . What more do you want? Good for fishing and driving trucks.. big trucks with 18 wheels. Thanks for the always good deals on cigars.

Both are very good smoking cigars - easy choice

Two great smokes packaged at a decent price - what is not to like?

Good combination. Gran Puros are great

Bought this gentelmens deuce figuring the Punch would be the better cigar of the two since I have smoked the Punch brand over the years and all the kudos the Gran Puro received... I was wrong, the Diesel Unlimiteds had a much better flavor profile, rich and full bodied the Diesels won out. Over all a good deal for the price and timely shipping.

Both are excellent. Great draw and even burn. Flavor is outstanding. Will definitely order more.

Great cigars , quick delivery

good value smooth smoke

Very good taste slow burner Good cigars

very good smoke

Consistant flavor throughout on both the Gran Puro and the Unlimited. You can burn them down as far as you want and you will not be disappointed. Diesel is always a great smoke and Punch truly lives up to its reputation. I will buy this combo again!!!

Diesel Unlimited and Punch Gran Puro Both are excellent cigars Great odor & flavor not hot at all

Love the Diesels. Grab Puros we’re nice to have in the mix. Sticks stayed in good shape.

Always excellent, Punch & Diesel.

I thought both the Diesel and Punch were excellent. Good draw, full bodied.

Great Value

Both great smokes with textures that are pleasing to the palette. Even though the Diesel is full bodied, it was smooth and enjoyable.

Neither of these were as good as I expected for their brand names. Good construction and burn, flavor okay.

I love the combination of these 2 cigars

Nice even burn. Very good sampler deal for trying new cigars. Medium flavor.

Can’t go wrong with his full flavor duo. Always a nice quality draw to both he punch and the diesel unlimited.

I think my husband loves both of those cigars - he was really excited when he saw them! Thanks for providing good smokes;-)

Always a fine smoke.

Great slow burn with a smooth taste.

Punch Gran Puro one of the best I've Ever had and the Diesel torpedo is a powerhouse that leaves nothing behind. I buy this Gentleman's Deuce at least once a month. At this price I may start buying more!

EXCELLENT DEAL, GREAT SMOKE (BOTH)

Like the Deuce, let's me keep on hand smokes I like and try new ones without overly committing.

Two power house beauties That wont disappoint.

Great

Good selection. I especially liked the Diesels which I plan to order separately.

Punch always good daily cigar and cheap, draw and burns good.

Very smooth!!

Two top notch smokes for a reasonable price.

My new favorite combo.

Perfect combination of flavorful deep smoking cigars that are full bodied and burns exceptionally well. I will definitely recommend and will be purchasing again

Very enjoyable and smooth

Excellent value; pretty good cigars

Punch and Diesel. Great go to cigars. Tons of flavor in full burn. Pairs well with a good scotch

Awesome cigars..tasted, smell,and burn..

Great combo

Good Cigars

These brands are tried & true; always consistent.

very good

Enjoying them, good smoke

Two very good smokes.

Nice smokes

Diesels have always been a favorite and are an everyday smoke for me. Pleasantly surprised at the quality, consistency, draw and flavor of the Punch. Would definitely buy again.

Nice everyday smokes.

I bought this 10 pack solely for the 5 Punch Gran Puro Ranchos. Love these cigars, fantastic balance of full flavors that is always consistent. These are my favorite cigars. I have never smoked a Diesel till now, and I did enjoy the one I’ve smoked thus far, not overpowering as I thought it might be.

Both blends were top notch, tasty smokes and were fresh and smoked evenly. Excellent buy

Great pairing. Diesel Unlimited is my go to breakfast cigar, followed by the Punch Gran Puro for lunch. Try this. You can't go wrong. Both are full bodied and bold tasting.

Punch Grand Puro Rancho is my favorite; however, the Diesel is for a different palette than mind. Not a good cigar combination to buy.

Great smokes

Both are great smoking cigars. I really enjoy the Diesel- it burns even and develops a good bite towards the end but not harsh as all. This was a sweet deal!

service just great will do it again

I was confident in the quality and familiar with the flavor profile of the Punch. I was unsure but pleasantly surprised by the diesel. This was my first order from CI. Beyond the cigar's performance I can say the product was shipped in pristine ready to enjoy condition. A feat most brick and morter retailers don't achieve.

Great sticks!

Great smokes

Full body great flavor

AAAMMMMAAAAZZAAZZZIIINNNGGG

The Diesels were rich and smooth. Perfect for hanging out by the fire pit with a good tequila.

Cigars were a great smoke. Me & my friends enjoyed them.

Two excellent full bodied smokes.

Excellent tasting, and I didn't have to wait too long...THANKS for another fine selection.

When I got them they where super dry. After three or four days I was finally able to smoke one and found it had many holes. Not sure what maid the holes but I couldn't smoke half of them and had to throw them out. This is the second time I've received this type of product problems.

I Buy this pack almost every time I order. My Humidor is never with out these 2 cigars

I tried this deuce several months ago and really liked the balance of both. Good taste, lots of smoke, good draw. Definitely a keeper for your humi.

Some had some tight draw on them otherwise pretty good

Good

The Diesel Unlimited are my favorite and the grand puro’s were a nice touch for a very reasonable price, Thank you.

Great smoke with a smoking price

Nice smoke. Great draw.

If you like full body cigars - you'll love this duo!

I will buy this sample pack again and again!!! Both cigars are full of flavor and smooth smokes from start to finish. The Punch Gran Puro is one of my favorite cigars, this is always my go to cigar. This was the first time trying the Diesel Unlimited, and I was pleasantly surprised, good burn from start to finish.

The punch gran puro were on the dry side when I recived them. The Diesel unlimited as well as the CAO’s where good

Good everyday bold smokes. Can't go wrong.

I’ve liked the diesel since I bought my 1st 1 on this site. As for the grand puro I will definitely buy more.

A great combo for those who like the fuller bodied smoke. Love the Diesel.

These are great smokes for the price.

I really enjoyed this sampler

some of my favorite

2 great smokes, full bodied

I can always expect great quality cigars when ordering from CI! Merry Christmas to all and to all a great smoke!

Average cigars with Diesel more to my liking.

The Punch sticks are still resting in the humidor, and I have high expectations that I hope they will meet. The surprise for me has been the Diesels. On arrival, they seemed to be very light in the hand (which is the opposite of what most reviews have said) - seemingly half the weight of other cigars of same size/gauge. However, the draw was effortless and the flavor was a chocolate-pepper explosion on the medium-full end of the spectrum. Even burn with no retouches and lasted about 1 hr. I'm really impressed, and will look to try other cigars from this brand in the future.

2 of my go to smokes in 1 package cant lose!!! Only problem is with the Punch gran puro,,,,have to constantly "touch up" the burn to keep it even... Always had similar issues with the gran puro in the past...Still enjoy them..

Punch was as good as advertised. Diesel always good. Both are med to med-full. Similar rich smokes with sweet tones.

These are my favorite smokes on the golf course. Both burn great, great draw and very very rarely need to be re-lit.

The Punch Gran Puro taste like what I imagined a great cigar should taste like: natural.

The Punch gran puro are XLNT . Good burn great flavor ... The Diesels are a little less than okay ... burn is ok flavor ,taste strong but not a good strong a little harsh ...

The gran puro was tasty but I didn't care for the deisel, both smoked just fine but the deisel lacked flavor.

Both are good cigars. Good Value

This is a sampler I have had enjoyed several times. These two cigars are great smokes

Top on the line cigars

Bought this on the strength of Gran Puro reviews, but it was the Diesel that blew me away. The Punch is a good cigar, no doubt, but the Diesel is a flavor bomb gut-punch. I've smoked 4 out of the 5 Diesel d.X's I received and have experienced some inconsistencies (uneven burns on all of them, veins, a stem running through one that choked the draw) but the flavor is incredible from the get go. I've had to re-snip two of them because the end became clogged with tar by the time I got to the halfway point in the smoke. Perhaps that's my bad for not snipping far enough up the first time. The aftertaste lingers with a woody sweetness, and I've enjoyed each d.X long after it was a nub smoldering in my ashtray. I'll definitely be ordering a box soon and I hope the inconsistencies were only particular to these samplers. I can't say much about the Punch Gran Puro. I've largely ignored them in favor of the Diesel's. I feel it's unfair to compare these 2 cigars, as they are 2 quite different beasts. The Punch is definitely a mellower smoke. I've smoked two of the sticks and was unimpressed. Like I said, it's a fine cigar, no doubt, but after tasting those d.X's, I was left wanting to come back to that flavor. I think I'll hang on to them until after I finish my last Diesel. Maybe smoking them in a different context will open up this cigar for me. My advice: try the Gran Puro first, before spoiling your palate on the luxurious Diesel, but don't hesitate on ordering this sampler. Definitely worth every penny.

Always satisfied with my purchases!

Great cigar combo for the aficionado that likes a medium to full bodied stick.

Gran Puro's have been the only smoke that my wife enjoys the smell of.

My cigars arrived in great condition in a nice cool looking ziplock bag with air bubble packing around it. I'm new to cigars but they seemed fine to me when I smoked one. I will definitely order again.

Great cigars a nice combo

A very solid,well made cigar. Tastes great and also carries a great aroma down to the nub. I really liked this one from Punch

Can't go wrong with anything from the Punch line, and the Diesel's were a great stick paired with morning coffee. I'd re-order.

Excellent cigars. Highly recommended and will be purchasing again.

The Diesel is an excellent full body cigar to enjoy after a big steak dinner. The Punch is more of a medium body cigar that you can have with your coffee in the morning or with a good scotch in the evening.

Great cigar package! Will buy agian!

Gran Puro's were very nice. If you're seeking an expert palate describing each third, and where they lie on taste, then move on. It was smooth and a fun stick. Diesel's were powerful and flavorful. I'd definitely re-buy this combo.

An excellent pairing or quality and strength. Worth every penny!

Both were great. First time diesel smoker, I will buy again.

Two excellent cigars. Well constructed. Punch Gran Puro is a new favorite of mine. Can't go wrong with the Diesel either. Highly recommended if you enjoy full cigars. Will def buy again.

A pair of great, full bodied smokes. I start every day with the Diesel and coffee, followed by the Punch after breakfast. I can't think of a better way to get out of the sack.

These are great smokes.

Great

Very good cigars. I've noticed a climb in C I prices.

This is a GREAT combo at a GREAT price! Both smoke smooth and are very enjoyable!!

Love both of these cigars. A little on the stronger side, flavorful, complex, full bodied! Keep it up CI! Five Stars!!!

Both of these cigars are excellent choices for a change of pace from my regular smoke.

Have ordered this combo many times and have always enjoyed it

Punch was slightly difficult to smoke (hard "draw"). Otherwise, both brands were excellent smokes.

Excellent prices on excellent cigars all shipments good I am satisfied

Good sample

Both are very good med-full smokes. Great flavor, sharp burn. I would definitely recommend this combo.

outstanding deal. great smoke

The price is always right. The Punch Grand Puros were great smooth cigars. The Diesels were a good strong, full smoke. Will get them again.

Punch never disappoints, Diesel is my new favorite

Fantastic duo!

The diesel was terrific! It always is. The punch, not fresh, dried out when i received it, disappointing flavor and ive smoked Punch cigars for a very long time, it's a good sampler but Diesel cigars are always good to me , Punch not so much anymore!

Love this sampler. Just keep buyin it.

Very tasty

Both are good smokes, I would say the Diesel Unlimited is a stronger non-acidic but earthy flavor and less creamy than the Punch Gran Puro.

Punch Gran Puros are a favourite of mine and these were exactly what I expected. The Diesels I did not enjoy. Bland tasting and with a poor draw, I thought they were more bother than they were worth to smoke.

As usual great cigars at a great price

Both are good smokes and I would recommend both!

What a daily double

They were great cigars for a great price. I enjoyed each one.

Always great service & Fresh cigars when I order from you guys

The Gran Puros are a good smoke but the Diesels were difficult to draw, a bit bland and several unwrapped while being smoked.

Great value. Good service. I'm a happy smoker

Great company ! Good customer service ! Would like more coupon opportunities or sale reminders

Great Set of sticks but the Diesel is by far the better cigar IMO.!!!

I always appreciate the quality of the cigars I receive from cigars international.

The Gran Puro had plenty of smoke and great flavor, very smooth. The Diesel was very similar maybe just a bit stronger. I will be purchasing this duo again.

Good cigars, quick delivery

Both excellent cigars, part of my everyday light up line up, with L.G.C Serie R and La Aroma de Cuba. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy with coffee, single malt scotch, or small batch bourbon, or even ice cold beer. These are great.

great partnership of diesel and punch.one full of punch the other full of flavorful fuel.
