A bit ago, I posted an article here on KM about The Proust Questionnaire, about confession albums and in particular about one filled out by Arthur Conan Doyle (On Confession Albums, The Proust Questionnaire, and Arthur Conan Doyle). I (and Vanity Fair) find the questions to be potentially quite illuminating as a form of an interview.
I've now smoked many of these Punch Knuckle Buster Maduro offerings. I even gave one an official KM write-up (Punch Cigars Knuckle Buster Maduro in Review). I'm happy with my efforts there but also, as our acquaintance has since grown, I began to feel the need to share a bit more about what makes this offering tick. Thus, I decided to channel its essence and fill out ACD's questionnaire as its sentient representative.
I'm smoking one as I type this. Here goes what I guess you can quite loosely call my interview of the Knuckle Buster Maduro by Punch.
