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.
PETIT CORONATIONS
A decent sized small cigar with a slightly rustic edge to it. Lively and rewarding wherever you choose to light up.
Medium flavour and medium to full strength, a good balanced smooth and complex Havana that is well constructed and generally comes with a dark chocolate brown wrapper.

"The smoke of this toothy petit corona is dense and concentrated with a clear cinnamon and graham cracker character that creates an interesting contrast to notes of red pepper, coffee, dried date and the stony, mineral finish..."
