Punch Punch

The Cigar:

The signature Corona Gorda size that has been a big player amongst heavy girth Havanas for five decades. You can depend upon it to deliver the vivacious notes that separate Cubans from the rest. Now in aluminium tubes.

The Brand:

Punch is one of the very oldest Havana brands. Don Manuel Lopez of Juan Valle & Co founded it in the mid 19th Century with an eye to the booming British market where a humorous magazine of the same name was much in vogue.

A contented Mr Punch, the clown who personified the magazine, is still featured on every box, cigar in hand and surrounded by 19th Century images of cigar making that remain virtually unchanged over a century and a half later.

In 1931 Punch became associated with Hoyo de Monterrey and the two brands have been made at the same factory ever since. Today the factory is La Corona.

The Cigar 

Description 

It had been decades since the Cuban Punch Brand  saw a new size in its regular portfolio but at the 2019 Habanos Festival, a most unexpected announcement was made: Punch was getting a Robusto.

As it turned out, the cigar more than lived up to the hype—it’s one of the finest Cuban Punches we’ve encountered in years. Each puff brings all the warm qualities of holiday baking from nutmeg and oatmeal cookies to pecans and graham cracker, but there’s a spicy hint of hot chili oil tying it all together in unexpected ways.

Punch Platino was release in 2009 exclusively for India's market. This is the only regional edition for India made by Habanos S.A. Released in boxes of 25 and in two separate lots. First in 600 numbered boxes and then followed by 1000 numbered boxes.

The 2009 Edicion Regional Punch Platino is a Prominentes vitola aka Double Corona. It comes in at a 49 ring gauge and 7.6 inches in length.

The packaging is very ornate. A nice ‘platinum’ foil wraps itself around 3 quarters of the cigar. The actual Punch logo is nicely embossed.

Black pepper, leather, a hint of floral notes, and roasted nuts, finishing with sweetness, cocoa almost like Nutella profile
