Punch stands as one of the oldest continuously produced cigar brands in the world, founded in 1840 in Havana by a German businessman known as Stockmann and named after Mr. Punch of the iconic Punch and Judy puppet shows to appeal to British cigar smokers. The brand was transformed into an internationally recognised premium marca by Manuel López Fernández from 1884, whose name still appears on every Cuban Punch cigar band and box more than 140 years later. Known for its bold, full-flavoured character with notes of earth, leather, cedar, nuts, coffee, and pepper, Punch cigars are crafted from premium Vuelta Abajo tobacco and produced at the La Corona factory in Havana. With a heritage spanning over 180 years and a history intertwined with sister brand Hoyo de Monterrey since 1931, Punch continues to deliver accessible yet complex smoking experiences that have earned multiple Cigar Aficionado Top 25 placements and consistent 90+ ratings across its diverse range of vitolas.
