Experience the Punch Double Corona

Our staff has consistently found the Punch Double Corona to be one of the most satisfying long-format cigars in the classic Punch lineup. Handrolled in Nicaragua at the AJ Fernandez factory, it showcases exceptional construction and consistent performance in this grand corona size. The dark Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper provides upfront richness and spice on the cold draw, backed by a Nicaraguan binder and aged Nicaraguan long-fillers. When smoked, the first third opens boldly with roasted espresso, black pepper, sweet leather, and dark chocolate, creating a full-bodied introduction with creamy texture and voluminous smoke. By the second third, the profile transitions smoothly, mellowing the pepper into balanced dark cocoa, toasted nuts, caramelized oak, and refined earthy sweetness while the generous proportions maintain cool, even combustion. In the final third, it finishes strong with concentrated sweet dark chocolate, lingering coffee roast, and a touch of spice, burning steadily to a solid nub with firm ash hold and no harshness. A perfect showcase of Nicaraguan puro excellence in an extended, luxurious format.
