PUNCH CIGARS: LAUNCH NEW FULL-TIME LINE WITH GOLDEN ERA

LAUNCH NEW FULL-TIME LINE WITH GOLDEN ERA

 

 

Punch invites cigar lovers to take a trip back in time with Punch Golden Era, a new, three-cigar
collection that will be a full-time addition to the Punch anthology.

Punch Golden Era celebrates the beauty and versatility of the corojo tobacco that had a starring role
in the “golden age” of cigars. Corojo had been used as the wrapper of choice until tobacco diseases
and mold brought the tobacco to the brink of extinction.

Today, Punch is bringing Corojo tobacco back to its former glory, thanks to the famous Cuban seeds
that have been cultivated on a 650-acre farm in Honduras by the Eiroa family.

The cigar is made with Honduran-grown, Cuban seed Corojo wrapper and binder, and its filler is
comprised of Honduran-grown Habano and Cuban-seed Corojo tobacco.

John Hakim, brand manager for Punch said, “The Eiroa family has perfected Corojo tobacco and we
are excited to bring it to life with Punch Golden Era. This tobacco delivers a silky, golden wrapper, a
binder with ideal combustibility and a filler that produces unique spicy notes and a spectrum of
nuances. We’re especially pleased to make a true Corojo experience available for cigar lover to enjoy
any time the occasion calls for a rich and rewarding smoke.”

Mellow-to-medium-bodied, Punch Golden Era is elegant and refined. The cigar balances notes of
earth, cream and nuts.

Punch Golden Era is hand made at Fabrica de Puros Aladino SA in Honduras. The cigars will be
presented in 20-count boxes and will ship to retailers on May 1. The line will launch with three sizes.

Robusto (5” x 50); SRP per cigar $9.99
Toro (6” x 52); SRP per cigar $10.49
Churchill (7” x 48); SRP per cigar $10.99
