A new cigar from Punch called \u201cThe People\u2019s Champ,\u201d will ship in early June. The cigar is the result of input from thousands of dyed-in-the-wool Punch fans who guided every aspect of the cigar and its packaging.<\/p>\n
The Punch Brotherhood, an online-based group of Punch brand enthusiasts from across the US, started collaborating on The People\u2019s Champ cigar in 2019, providing feedback to the Punch brand and cigar-making teams in the U.S. and Honduras. Three years later, with input on everything from the profile and the size of the cigar to its packaging, Punch will proudly unveil the limited edition robusto.<\/p>\n
Punch brand manager John Hakim said, \u201cWe asked. They told. We crafted. This is the best way to describe how The People\u2019s Champ cigar was created. While some may say we spent a lot of time on such a limited run of cigars, we beg to differ. We learned so much from Punch\u2019s most devoted fans, and those insights will be incredibly valuable in guiding us on future releases.\u201d<\/p>\n
Crafted at HATSA in Honduras, The People\u2019s Champ cigar features a five-country blend, made with an Honduran Habano wrapper from the Talanga Valley, with a Mexican San Andrean binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic, Brazil and Nicaragua.<\/p>\n
The People\u2019s Champ is a brick and mortar exclusive that will be sold to an elite group of Punch retailers across the country. The cigars will be available in both 5 and 10-count, paper-wrapped bundles which will ship to retailers on June 1.<\/p>\n
