PUNCH
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 1931 the Punch became associated with Hoyo de Monterrey and the two brands have been made in 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 Vuelta Abajo is available in a wide variety of sizes which are all long filler and totally hand made.
CORONATIONS
An honest, medium bodied Mareva in a British racing green tube. An ideal accompaniment for outdoor pursuits - Shooting and fishing expeditions for example.
Starts out quite spicy and settles down to a very nutty, no-nonsense tobacco smoothness. A very pleasant smoke.

"A solidly rolled corona with a flat head and perfect draw. Floral first puffs usher in a hearty smoke of dark-roasted coffee bean, salt and oak over an underlying nuttiness. The finish is sweet with honey..."
