More distinctive than standard Punch releases, the Northern Lights was crafted exclusively for the Nordic market as a Regional Edition. Released in 2009, this special vitola joined the prestigious Edición Regional program, which partners Habanos with authorized distributors to create unique sizes for specific geographic territories. The cigar pays homage to the aurora borealis phenomenon that graces northern skies, making it a fitting tribute to its intended market of Scandinavian aficionados.
