Description

Short de Punch is the newest member of Punch from Cuba. It has been several years since the last addition to the Punch collection and the first time the manufacturer has chosen to release a Robustos cigar with a 50 ring, as all the previous ones had a smaller caliber. It is presented in a unvarnished wooden box of 10 cigars. The vitola is brand new and the cigars are wrapped in a Corojo wrapper.

Its tobacco has been selected from some of the most exquisite plantations in the four main tobacco growing areas of Cuba and all the leaves have been aged in parcels before being wrapped. It has an excellent construction that allows balanced and enjoyable smoking. It has a moderate intensity, with a creamy texture, wood and almond flavors and notes of honey and pepper. The intensity remains the same throughout and the flavors become richer with a pleasant note of wood.

Punch is one of the very oldest Habano 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 in 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 1925 the Punch moved to the factory where Hoyo de Monterrey was made and this long association continues to the present day.

Punch’s distinct medium flavour created with a blend of tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo region is available in a wide variety of sizes “totalmente a mano, tripa larga” – totally hand made, long filler.
