Punch is releasing a full-time, wallet and palate-pleasing line called \u201cKnuckle Buster.\u201d The three-cigar collection will begin shipping to retailers in March.<\/p>\n
Named for a phrase made famous by a university basketball coach who described a rough and tumble physical game as a \u201cBlue Collar Knuckle Buster,\u201d the Punch Knuckle Buster was created to deliver a hardworking blend for hard working people.<\/p>\n
Ed Lahmann, senior brand manager for Punch said, \u201cPunch is committed to staying true to what the brand has represented over the last six decades: a consistent, well-made, no-nonsense cigar at a price that\u2019s fair and reasonable. Punch Knuckle Buster honors this commitment with a solid, enticing blend for the people who work hard to enjoy the good life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Punch\u2019s blending team at the HATSA cigar factory set out to make a medium-bodied cigar that would appeal to both new and seasoned smokers. They selected only Habano-seed tobaccos from Nicaragua and Honduras to deliver when it comes to balancing flavor and strength with complexity. Knuckle Buster has a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper, a Nicaraguan Habano binder and its filler tobaccos are from Nicaragua and Honduras.<\/p>\n

Shipping: March 9 in these three sizes: Lahmann continued, \u201cOur hope is that Punch Knuckle Buster becomes a \u2018go to\u2019 blend that cigar smokers can rely on time and time again, without having to think twice when they hit the cash register or click on their carts. We want it to be the perfect smoke for walking the dog or mowing the lawn or enjoying with cigar smoking friends. \u00a0Because after all, a cigar is not about money or status or boutique cigar makers. It\u2019s about removing those barriers and enjoying a moment of well-earned relaxation.\u201d<\/p>\n Punch cigars are handcrafted at General Cigar\u2019s HATSA factory in Danli, Honduras.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Punch is releasing a full-time, wallet and palate-pleasing line called \u201cKnuckle Buster.\u201d The three-cigar collection will begin shipping to retailers in March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":33848,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[49,55,2812,44],"tags":[6205,1494],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33845"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33845\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
