Punch is a current pre-revolution brand, established circa 1840. It is classified by Habanos SA in their 'Value' category of Portfolio brands. Under the pre-2019 system it was considered a Multi-Local brand. It receives frequent Regional Edition and occasional other new release cigars. At one time Punch was a major brand, however its range was significantly reduced after the blue mold crisis of 1980 and again with the rationalisation of sizes in 2002.
