Punch Gran Puro Nicaragua Robusto is a modern cigar from a company that is known for its classics. Over the years, the Punch brand has become known as the “Budweiser of Cigars” in that its offerings, though nothing out of the ordinary, are of superb quality and great for any occasion. Just recently, the original Punch Gran Puro was recognized as part of Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of 2016. As of late, Punch has come quite a long way from Frank Llanaza’s original blend that ruled the 90s. In this execution, we see a Punch cigar utilizing Nicaraguan tobacco, a long stretch from their usual Honduran recipes. The filler and binder blend does in fact consist of a high-end mixture of premium Nicaraguan tobaccos. However, though the name Gran Puro Nicaragua would lead us to believe it is made entirely of Nicaraguan tobacco, the wrapper leaf is actually Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro, chosen by the good people at General cigar to give the profile a “layered, dimensional flavor not traditionally found in Nicaraguan cigars,” according to Punch marketing director Ed Mckenna. Well, the idea worked, as Punch Gran Puro took a pair of 90 ratings from Cigar Aficionado soon after its release, implying that this isn’t your average Punch cigar.

 

Bright yellow and blue bands clothe Punch Gran Puro Nicaragua, along with a personal appearance from Mr. Punch himself at the bottom of the label. The cigar itself is gorgeous, its toothy dark wrapper leaf oozing with oils while sporting an expert rolling job. Billowing clouds of silky smoke present an opening of cedar and raw tobacco flavor, along with a hefty dose of Nicaraguan spice. Notes of coffee, cola, and earth are well-received along the way, along with a crisp, peppery finish. Punch Gran Puro sits just shy of full-bodied and is surprisingly balanced and clean. For the Gran Puro Nicaragua line, there are four regular production sizes, each undoubtedly familiar to any long-time fan of the brand. This Robusto measures 4 7/8” x 48 and offers a beautiful and complete way to enjoy the heart of the flavor profile.

 

Punch Gran Puro Nicaragua is an amazing all-around cigar. It offers a new take on flavor to those already enjoying the many other offerings from Punch and provides a heavy, medium-full-bodied option to those who just want a bit more, well, punch. Seasoned connoisseurs will surely come to enjoy the expertly-blended flavor profile, while beginners and intermediate smokers can make use of Punch Gran Puro Nicaragua to make the step into fuller-bodied cigars without breaking the bank. Gran Puro Nicaragua pairs beautifully with coffee as a morning cigar, but can just as easily be enjoyed alongside a dark beer or red wine. If you have come to gravitate towards such Nicaraguan maduro cigars as Oliva Serie O Maduro, San Lotano Maduro, or Perdomo Champagne Noir, you no doubt owe it to yourself to give Punch Gran Puro Nicaragua Robusto a shot. Punch cigars are some of the best-selling cigars in the world, and Gran Puro Nicaragua Robusto is the latest and greatest member of the family, further adding to the immense legacy of the brand.
