Description
Punch is one of the very oldest Havana brands. Don Manuel Lopez of Juan Valle & Co founded it in the mid 19th century. He had his eye on the booming British market where a humorous magazine of the same name was much in vogue.
Mr Punch, the clown who personified the magazine, is still featured on every box with cigar in hand. The image on the cigar boxes has remained 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.
Punch’s distinct medium flavour created with a blend of filler and binder tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo zone. Punch Cigars are available in a wide variety of sizes. All Punch cigars are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’. This means ‘long filler, totally hand made’.
