Punch Churchill. Long missed.


Recommended Posts

At one time I thought them them best of all all Churchills.  Sadly, the Churchill lineup is a shadow of what it once was. 

Nice to see some still around. 

Does anyone else have fond memories of this lovely cigar?

Oh yes, very fond memories... The Punch Double Corona was pretty fantastic in it's own right, too. Sorely missed.

My understanding was that the Punch DC is still in regular (but limited) production...

Nice box. I'm still so nervous about buying older gear due to construction issues - maybe silly of me but would rather drop some money for later gear. Sadly that means I'm missing a whole bunch of super interesting stuff.

Punch Churchills usually have a bit of box press to them. 

I think of the older ones been more mold prone, or is that just me?  Not enough to scare me, but seemed like Punch Churchill and DC's were boxes I noticed more mold on that other similarly aged boxes in my humidor.

As someone who's somewhat recently got in to Cubans, it makes be sad the Churchill (which might be my favorite vitola) is no longer available for a few of my favorite marcas - Punch being one of those, Bolivar and SLR being the others.

Not sure Trinidad has ever done a Churchill, but what I would give for one of those.

Sales figures call the shots; simple as that. I'd imagine the cost of cigars have something to do with it for retailer stock. 

Longer smoking cigars have fallen out of favor.  People don't have as much time or would rather have two different cigars in the same time it takes to smoke a Churchill.  The longer smoking cigars have become more novelty. 😥 

Churchill is one of my favorite vitola's as well!
