Punch Rare Corojo Enters Regular Production: A Beloved Cigar Line Now Available Year-Round
The Punch Rare Corojo, a cigar once cherished as an annual limited edition, is now part of the regular lineup. Fans of this iconic brand can celebrate its year-round availability in nine distinct sizes.
For over two decades, General Cigar Co. released the Punch Rare Corojo as a seasonal, single-size offering. With its transition to regular production, enthusiasts will enjoy the same expertly crafted blend, which features an Ecuador Sumatra wrapper, a Connecticut broadleaf binder, and a mix of Honduran, Nicaraguan, and Dominican fillers. Despite its name, the Rare Corojo blend doesn’t include Corojo tobacco, but its complex flavour profile continues to captivate aficionados.

The new regular-production lineup includes the following sizes:
- Champion(perfecto): 4 1/2 x 60, $8.99

Crafted Excellence from Honduras

Punch brand manager Scott Abney expressed his enthusiasm for the line’s expanded availability, stating, “For years, Punch fans have clamoured for more Rare Corojo, and we’re excited to deliver it to them as a regular-production line.”
The Punch Rare Corojo’s shift to regular production marks a milestone for the brand, offering cigar lovers a consistent, premium option with a storied legacy.
