Punch Princesas Edición Limitada 2025
Celebrating 185 years of Punch heritage.
The year 2025 marks an extraordinary milestone for one of Cuba’s most historic cigar brands: Punch. Founded 185 years ago and originally created for the British market, Punch has long remained synonymous with characterful blends and the timeless charm of its namesake, the English puppet Mr. Punch. To honor this anniversary, Habanos S.A. has unveiled a special release within its prestigious Edición Limitada 2025 program: the Punch Princesas.
This new cigar holds particular significance for collectors, as it represents only the third Edición Limitada ever produced for the Punch brand. The two previous entries—Serie D’Oro No. 2 in 2013 and Regios de Punch in 2017—are today regarded as prized and increasingly rare. With such a limited precedent, the arrival of the Punch Princesas is a noteworthy event that further enriches the brand’s legacy.
Released alongside the new Montecristo Elba, created in honor of Montecristo’s 90th anniversary, the Princesas marks Punch’s own 185-year journey with a vitola crafted for today’s cigar lover yet rooted in the legacy of one of Cuba’s oldest brands.
As is tradition within the Edición Limitada program, the Punch Princesas is rolled entirely in Cuba using long-filler tobacco from the renowned Vuelta Abajo region. All leaves—wrapper, binder, and filler—have undergone a minimum of two years of aging, a process that softens the blend, heightens complexity, and allows the cigar’s natural nuances to come forward with remarkable clarity. Each cigar is dressed with the iconic black-and-gold “Edición Limitada 2025” band.
The Princesas showcases an Edmundo format, measuring 135 mm in length with a 52 ring gauge. This vitola offers a balanced, satisfying smoking duration in the range of 30 to 45 minutes, substantial enough to unfold multiple layers of flavor without becoming overwhelming.
Flavor has always been a defining hallmark of Punch cigars, often described as medium-bodied with notes of cedar, nuts, and a gentle underlying sweetness. The Punch Princesas preserves this recognizable profile while offering a more polished, mature interpretation thanks to its aged tobacco. Aficionados can expect a rounded and layered experience, beginning with leathery and toasted aromas before developing richer earthy undertones and touches of caramel. The final third promises a lingering finish of spicy cedar, toasted nuts, and subtle sweetness—a harmonious evolution of aromas all over the tasting.
Refined, balanced, and full of character—the Punch Princesas promises to be one of 2025’s most memorable Cuban releases.
