The original Punch cigars were created in 1840 by a Cuban cigar manufacturer
named Manuel Lopez. In an effort to attract the British market, he named the
cigars after Mr. Punch, the cantankerous half of the Punch and Judy puppet
shows, which also inspired the name of the famous British humor magazine.
Produced in Honduras for General Cigar, Punch has been a leading premium brand
in smoke shops ever since it was first imported from Honduras in 1969.
