Punch

"Mr. Punch" was a very popular comic magazine in England featuring a character with the same namesake. In 1840, Don Manuel López, owner of the J. Valle y Cía, established the Punch cigar brand for the British market. Mr. Punch, who wore an unmistakably sly smile and always had a cigar in his hand, still adorns the box decoration of these outstanding Cuban cigars.

The Punch cigar soon became one of indisputable quality in the marketplace.  The tremendous popularity of Punch cigars amongst the British also attracted Sir Winston Churchill who gave into the temptation to visit the Monte y Zulueta factory during his stay in Havana.  The British statesman ended up lending his name to a popular size of this brand.  Punch cigars are medium strength and boast strong aromas of mainly fruity and woody tastes.
