These Punch, Marevas (42 x 129),are only available with this packaging of 25’s. Appeared before the 60’s and were discontinued in 80’s.
Punch is one of the oldest Habanos brands. Don Manuel López de Juan Valle and cia founded this brand in the mid-19th century, with the idea of attacking the growing English market, where a humorous publication of the same name was in vogue in those days.
Mr. Punch, the clown that was the symbol of that publication, continues to appear in each of the brand’s boxes with his Habano in hand, surrounded by 19th-century images that shows the making of Habanos, and that are practically the same as those that today can be seen in factories in Cuba.
