Punch

Established in 1840 and intended for the British market, where a comic book featuring a character named "Mr. Punch" was in fashion, the Punch brand was established by Don Manuel López, owner of the J. Valle y Cía. The comedian "Mr. Punch", who wore an unmistakably sly smile and who always had a cigar in his hand, still adorns the box decoration of these outstanding Cuban cigars. The Punch cigar soon became a Habano of indisputable quality in the marketplace. The tremendous popularity of Punch cigars amongst the British also led Sir Winston Churchill to visit the Monte y Zulueta factory during his stay in Havana; he ended up giving his name to a size of this brand.
