Punch Regios de Punch is the latest Habanos Edición Limitada to arrive from Cuba albeit a few months late. They are presented SLB’s of 25 cigars and this is only the second time that Punch has been selected to represent the Limited Edition concept (Punch Serie D’Oro No.2 being the first). The vitola is new for the brand and as usual the cigars are dressed in dark wrappers and come adorned with a second band.
The tobacco used has all been selected from some of the most highly prized plantations within the four main tobacco growing regions of Cuba, and the leaves have then all undergone a minimum of two years ageing in bales before being rolled.
Despite being a little late, Punch Regios de Punch is sure to receive a warm welcome from cigar smokers across the world, but in particular from within the UK where the brand has the most loyal and fond following.
Punch is one of the oldest Habanos brands still in production, being founded in the mid 19th century by Don Minuel Lopez. Aimed at the British Market with its branding, matching the popular publication at the time. In the 1930’s Punch was merged with Hoyo de Monterrey and to this day both are rolled at the La Corona factory.
Punch has a cult following with those who are looking for a medium bodied classic “Cuban” taste. Smooth and creamy with a woody and nutty flavour, with a little spice/pepper towards the end. A great alternative to Romeo y Julieta and ideal as either a beginners smoke or lunch time smoke for connoisseurs.
