The Return of Punch Rare Corojo
March
will kick off the relaunch of Punch Rare Corojo, an annual
limited-edition line made by General Cigar Co. set to be available from
March 1 to May 31. The brand is defined by an Ecuadoran Sumatra wrapper
that General says is grown in limited quantity.
The
Punch Rare Corojo line consists of eight sizes, seven of which use the
Ecuadoran wrapper. But a special 10th Anniversary blend is the only size
in the series to incorporate a very unusual Connecticut Corojo wrapper.
Measuring
5 inches by 50 ring, the Punch Rare Corojo 10th Anniversary debuted
last year and is back for a 2012 encore with a retail price of $6.99.
The rest of the line retails in the $3.59 to $6.49 price range. All are
made in Honduras at the Honduras American Tabaco S.A. factory.
