Punch Cigars is once again celebrating the Lunar New Year with another limited-edition release. The Punch Bottle Rocket builds on last year’s firework-themed release from Punch Cigars. To tie-in to the fireworks theme, this year’s release includes special packaging to look like a firework canister. Each cigar inside the canister is attached to its own firework stick.
In a press release, Punch brand manager Scott Abney commented: “Much like a good firework, Punch Bottle Rockets are powerful, eye-catching, and surprising in all the right ways. Beyond the colorful packaging and bombastic branding lies a truly excellent cigar crafted with a rich Mexican San Andrés wrapper. Grab a pack of Bottle Rockets and start the Lunar New Year off with a bang!”
This new Punch cigar is a full-bodied smoke with a spicy but balanced flavor profile. Punch Bottle Rocket is blended with a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder grown in Estelí, and filler from the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Nicaragua. It is handmade at HATSA in Honduras.
This cigar is presented as a 4 ½ x 50 figurado and has a suggested retail price of $6.99 before applicable taxes. Each Punch Bottle Rocket canister contains 20 cigars.
