The creators of the Punch Gran Puro cigar obviously understand the legacy to which they owe the brand's loyal following. With roots in 1840s Cuba and re-imagined by Cuban exiles in 1969, Punch has always been known as a go-to cigar for juicy, robust flavors matched only by the brand's penchant for irreverence, and the Gran Puro lives up to the reputation. A bold Honduran puro, both the special San Agustin wrapper and the equally well-fermented binder are picked from among the highest primings of the best sun-grown tobaccos and carefully rolled and aged in Danli, Honduras.
It's easy to see why Cigar Aficionado chose the Punch Gran Puro as one of it's Top-25 cigars of 2012. With a medium body and lip-smacking flavor, it is a cigar that can appeal to all but the most jaded of connoisseurs, who probably should go back to their fancy $20 cigars anyway. The rest of us are going to grab some suds, grill a burger, and enjoy this great smoke.
