Punch Short de Punch

First Third:

The Punch Short de Punch opens with a smooth, approachable draw that immediately reveals the characteristic Punch profile. Initial smoke presents subtle earth tones accompanied by a gentle pepperiness that tickles the palate without overwhelming. The burn line remains consistent, and the ash holds firm throughout this opening segment. Cedar and a faint sweetness provide the foundation.

Mid-Section:

As the cigar progresses to its middle third, the flavour profile expands to reveal more complexity. Notes of roasted coffee emerge alongside a creamy sweetness that balances the earthy base. Pepper evolves into warming spice. The compact format concentrates the flavours, delivering a satisfying mouthfeel without requiring a lengthy time commitment.

Final Third:

The Short de Punch finishes with a warm, slightly spicy conclusion. Earth and wood dominate the final draws, while the coffee and cream from the middle third provide smoothness. The compact format means the final third arrives quickly but with full intensity—a complete Punch experience in miniature.

Punch was founded in 1840 by Manuel López, a Spanish cigar manufacturer who established his factory in Havana. The brand takes its name from the famous British puppet character Mr. Punch, whose image has appeared on the brand's distinctive logo for nearly two centuries. The Short de Punch delivers the signature Punch experience in a compact format for shorter smoking occasions.
