With a name like Punch, you can safely expect a potent blend. And with the Punch Bareknuckle cigar, you absolutely get it. This full-strength cigar will lay you out if you’re not careful.
Surprisingly, the brand name isn’t a reference to fighting, but to the old-school folk puppet show called “Punch and Judy.” These shows are a staple of British folk culture and usually featured someone getting the wrong end of Mr. Punch’s slapstick, a performing tool that made a loud whacking sound when he delivered a blow. It’s good fun after a few pints, and now you know where the term “slapstick comedy” comes from.
The Punch Bareknuckle cigar uses a filler blend grown in Honduras and Nicaragua. To complete the international mixture, there’s also a beautiful brown Ecuador sun-grown wrapper raised from Habano seed tobacco used as the cover leaf.
Light up the Punch Bareknuckle cigar and you’ll get complex flavor led by pepper, but also showing flashes of citrus and chocolate. It’s a doozy and one that’s perfect when you’re in the mood for something powerful and challenging (as opposed to something smooth and sweet). It wouldn’t make a bad companion for fight night, for obvious reasons.
To clear up confusion, the Cuban Punch cigars are made by a different branch of the company. Punch Bareknuckle cigars are made for sale in the U.S. market, and so use tobacco grown elsewhere.
Two fists, two Punches. Makes sense to us!
