When the Punch Rare Corojo entered the cigar marketplace I could not get enough of them. I wound up going through boxes of the rothechilde faster then my local cigar shop could keep them in stock. Sadly, between the time that they were released for the first time, and the 2nd years release something changed in the cigar. Rumour on the cigar boards called the cigar out for not being corojo. Regardless, I still found myself smoking these on a regular basis though they weren’t what they once were.

When I heard they were releasing the cigar in a 10th Anniversary Edition, I was seriously intrigued. According to the press release, “the 5” x 50 frontmark is unique in that it will feature a proprietary Connecticut Corojo wrapper. The new cigar will begin selling in late March for a suggested retail price of $6.50 per cigar until the limited supply is depleted. The cigars will be packed in eye catching cabinet style red wooden boxes and can be easily identified by a secondary red-and-gold band that bears the Rare Corojo distinction.”
