Punch Short de Punch

The Punch Short de Punch made history as the first 50-ring-gauge cigar in the brand's regular Cuban lineup, debuting at the 2019 Habanos Festival. It's a Petit Robusto — a stout 4.75 inches at a 50 ring — built for smokers who like a thicker cigar without a long time commitment.

What it tastes like

The extra girth means a cool, easy draw and a generous volume of smoke. The all-Cuban blend, dressed in a smooth colorado wrapper, delivers plenty of wood, roasted nuts and cream with a light dusting of spice. It's medium in strength and beautifully balanced — rich enough to feel substantial, smooth enough to enjoy any time. Construction is typically excellent, with an even burn over about 45 minutes.

Who it's for

This is a great everyday Havana for fans of the robusto shape, and the short format makes it an easy weeknight smoke. It's approachable for someone moving up from milder cigars while still satisfying a seasoned palate. For a thinner, longer take on the brand, try the Punch Punch.
