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.
PUNCH
The signature Corona Gorda size that has been a big player amongst heavy girth Havanas for five decades. You can depend upon it to deliver the vivacious notes that separate Cubans from the rest.
Smooth and strong with lots of creamy vanilla wood flavor. Perfect draw with lots of smoke, and the burn was great. Delightful, highly recommended cigar.

"Wrapped in a fairly light cover leaf, this good-looking cigar draws evenly. Its sweeter notes of maple and honey play off its zestier notes of cedar and baking spices for an eminently flavorful smoke..."
