Punch - Punch Punch - H & F House Reserve Aged & Rare (1996) - Box of 25 Cigars
 - Box of 25 Cigars, £1,049.99 (https://www.gqtobaccos.com/cigars/punch-punch-punch-h-f-house-reserve-aged-rare-1996-box-of-25-cigars/))
Product Description
Hunters & Frankau’s Aged & Rare collection consists of cigars that have been matured for a minimum of ten years in our warehouse and every box is marked with a 10+, 15+ or 20+ to indicate the number of years since they were rolled, boxed and dispatched from the factories of Cuba. It is estimated that the first 2019 Aged & Rare releases make up no more than 5,000 cigars in total.
However, it is not only their age that makes House Reserve cigars especially rare.
This box of Cigars was made in 1996
Identifying Aged & Rare cigars
Before a box is released from House Reserve every single cigar has been checked by fully-trained Habanos s.a. quality technicians, specially flown in from Cuba for the purpose. Boxes that meet their approval are stamped ‘Revisado’, which means ‘Checked’.
A Release Certificate is also affixed to the outside of every box. This certificate, signed by our Warehouse Manager, confirms the date of manufacture in Cuba, the date of release from House Reserve, and the rarity categories that apply to its contents.
Each box carries an EMS stamp showing the year in which it was released from House Reserve. However, if during its time in our care the box was cleared from Bond sometime earlier, it will also carry the EMS stamp from the year in which that event took place.
Finally, each individual cigar is dressed with a footband confirming that it is Aged & Rare and comes from Hunters & Frankau’s House Reserve.
Punch is one of the oldest Habanos brands still in production, being founded in the mid 19th century by Don Minuel Lopez. Aimed at the British Market with its branding, matching the popular publication at the time. In the 1930’s Punch was merged with Hoyo de Monterrey and to this day both are rolled at the La Corona factory.
Punch has a cult following with those who are looking for a medium bodied classic “Cuban” taste. Smooth and creamy with a woody and nutty flavour, with a little spice/pepper towards the end. A great alternative to Romeo y Julieta and ideal as either a beginners smoke or lunch time smoke for connoisseurs.
