Good news! The Punch Rare Corojo cigar edition is finally back for 2013 and in stock with a new release, the Punch Rare Corojo Perfecto you just have to try. This is a rich Figurado cigar to match the rest of the highly anticipated line-up eagerly awaited by cigar fans each year. 

In the spring of 2000, General Cigar president was touring the Villazon factory and found some empty boxes of Rare Corojo from years by gone. To make a long story short, the company re-launched the line to a great success. The cigars are coated with the richest, oiliest, dark-red Ecuador-Sumatra upper-priming wrapper that comes in very limited quantity once a year. In 2011, a celebratory size was launched – that is the NEW 10^th Year Anniversary, featuring a rare Connecticut Corojo wrapper in a unique cabinet style red box with updated bands. This rarest of Rare Corojos is available only this year and in very limited quantities.

A rare precious gem under the Punch brand name is the exclusive and elusive “Rare Corojo”. They make it only once a year, and it is hand made from exclusive tobacco crops that are not available for year round production, consequently they are only released around this time of year much to the anticipation of those who already tried this amazing cigar and got hooked.

The rich, reddish wrapper leaves which became the namesake of the Rare Corojo are so limited that it is actually a miracle that we can present here such an item. When Punch Rare Corojo was introduced in a limited edition a few years ago, the taste and aroma of the cigars was so exceptional, all of them were sold very quickly. Great efforts were made to increase production but this tobacco is very sensitive and every year we receive just a few cases.

The cigars are made with extra rich, dark Sumatra wrapper leaves that are grown in the mountains of Ecuador and the filler is a rich blend of Honduran, Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos. If you'd like to try a Punch with extra kick to it, this is your stogie.
