Punch

Cuba · est. 1840 · Habanos S.A. (Cuba) / General Cigar Co. (U.S.)

Registered in 1840 and named after Mr. Punch of the English puppet shows — a bid for the British market that worked, and one of the oldest Habanos marques still in production. Manuel López took it over in 1884 and turned it into a staple. Two Punches exist today: Cuban from Habanos S.A., and a Honduran Punch owned by General Cigar for the United States.
