Punch Cigars and the Punch Magazine

Punch Cigars - Underestimated, both then and now

Punch is one of the oldest of the Habano brands. Manuel Lopez of Juan Valle & Co. Established this label in the middle of the 19th Century with an eye to the profitable British market. Punch cigars borrowed their name from the British satire magazine Punch, which at that time had already enjoyed great notoriety, and today no doubt contributes to the popularity of this cigar brand in England. Mr. Punch, the contented jester, who represented the magazine at that time, is still to be seen with a cigar in hand on every box. In 1925, Punch moved its production to the Hoyo de Monterrey, and to date this cooperation still exists. Punch cigars are characterized not only by their full flavor, which can be described as delightfully sweet-spicy, but also by their excellent price performance ratio.

Punch Cigars - Assortment and characteristics

The Punch assortment is comparably as broad as that of Partagas, however the Punch cigars are milder. Particularly the mid-size and large formats are very dependable because they are never a disappointment. As is the case for many other brands, the Punch Double Corona can especially be recommended due to it’s inherent complexity – truly a special treat for the "expert". Similarly, and yet due to it’s format, the very popular Punch Punch makes a stronger statement. Also the other, somewhat smaller formats are impressive: for instance the Punch Churchill, the Punch Super Selection 1, the Punch Royal Selection 11, the Petit Corona del Punch, or the Petit Punch launched in 2005.
