Punch Princesas (2025 L.E)

HISTORY

Punch is one of the very oldest Havana brands. Don Manuel López of Juan Valle & Co. founded it in the mid-19th Century with an eye to the booming British market, where a humorous magazine of the same name was much in vogue.

A contented Mr Punch, the clown who personified the magazine, is still featured on every box, cigar in hand and surrounded by 19th-century images of cigar making that remain virtually unchanged over a century and a half later.

In 1931, Punch became associated with Hoyo de Monterrey, and the two brands have been made at the same factory ever since. Today, the factory is La Corona.

Punch Princesas Edición Limitada 2025 was released by Habanos S.A. to commemorate the 185th
anniversary of the Punch brand. This important milestone is reflected in a specially designed band
created to honour the anniversary, complemented by an additional foot band bearing the Punch name.

Twenty cigars arranged in four rows of five are presented in a distinctive box created especially for this
release, with a design that celebrates the traditional colours and unmistakable visual identity of Punch.

TASTING NOTES

As with every Edición Limitada released by Habanos S.A. since 2007, all the tobacco leaves used to make these cigars have been aged for a minimum of two years. This additional ageing allows the different components of the blend to develop greater harmony, producing more subtle and refined flavours, including notes of cedar, wood and caramel.

These flavours, combined with the natural sweetness of the dark wrapper, which undergoes an additional fermentation process, create a well-rounded and balanced taste that develops across the palate throughout the smoke.
