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.
DOUBLE CORONAS
A majestic Double Corona that is as close to an iconic size as you will find, It's made alongside Hoyo's version of the same size Havana's La Corona factory, but with a distinctly different taste. Develops beautifully as you smoke it.
Strong without being aggressive, with a penetrating aroma. Excellent draw and combustion. lt has cedar and earthy notes. A Fabulous Smoke!

"While the burn is even, the head of this long double corona is soft and spongy, making the draw a bit difficult. It’s woody with hints of black tea, mint and nuts. There’s a touch of dried fruit on the dry finish..."
