Unlike most large-format cigars in Cuban production, the Punch Double Coronas delivers a highly distinguished, substantial, and memorable smoking experience. Classified as a current regular production cigar, this impressive vitola has been part of the Punch portfolio since before 1960, making it a historic release that has stood the test of time. Known by its factory name "Prominentes," this cigar represents the classic Cuban double corona format at its finest.
