Punch Gran Puro Pico Bonito Cigar

Punch Gran Puro Pico Bonito Cigar Review

by Johnny Mixx on February 18, 2010

Punch Gran PuroThe Punch Gran Puro is made with 100% Honduran grown tobaccos. This unique blend offers a solid medium to full bodied smoke with an earthy aroma.

Punch Gran Puro is all-Honduran with an extra-dark, extra-bold Havana-seed wrapper developed exclusively for this cigar in the rich San Agustin Valley of Honduras. In addition, the binder leaves as well as the wrapper leaves are sun-grown and carefully selected from the highest primings to ensure the cigars’ special color and flavor.

The result is the puro of puros, a cigar impossible to imitate. A medium to full bodied cigar, Punch Gran Puro has a round, spicy taste with a hint of natural cinnamon that comes from the unique soil of the San Agustin Valley. Handcrafted in natural cedar, the Punch Gran Puro box expresses the cigar’s rich heritage with an elegantly domed medallion that features a classic illustration of Mr. Punch and his dog Toby.
