Did you know that one of Cubas’s most treasured cigars began with a puppet comedy show in the mid-1800s? Don Manuel Lopez of Juan Valle Company sought to benefit from the booming British cigar market by naming his cigar after Mr. Punch the famous puppet of Punch and Judy fame.
Today there is one Habanos cigar company that has been around for a long time and remains a sought-after brand with exceptional exuberance.
If Punch cigars have a flagship brand it’s the Punch Punch and like New York, it’s so good they named it twice. It has a 46-ring gauge and is 5.62 inches long. It has a wonderful spicy aroma with a profile of leather, brown sugar, and coffee. If that wasn’t enough there are hints of cocoa powder and a strong standout note of toffee.
This is a strong cigar that boasts always having a great draw and is perfect during the afternoon or as an after-dinner evening smoke. In the most simplistic way, this is a cigar lover’s cigar and one of the reasons it’s hard to find even in Havana. This signature Habano is a must-have, so get ready to add it to your humidor.
