Ken Gargett Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Was given a tubed Punch Churchill by a mate from Habanos. I know it had a few years on it but not sure how many. Will post a review and if i can, photos, shortly. I had not had a Punch Churchill from a tube before (have had banded and unbanded ones in the past). This was a terrific cigar but my query relates to the band. I don’t have my books on cigars with me, bar the Min Ron Nee who mentions that tubed Punch Churchills are quite rare. The band on this one is quite drab, a brown/beige and very simple. Nothing like the usual Punch band. I have not seen them before and wondered is anyone else had or knew of a change. I can’t find any photo or info on it. Coming from Habanos, i think we can assume it wasn’t a fake - a was really a wonderful cigar. Any thoughts?

Ken Gargett Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 » Hey, Colt, » » This looks a lot like a Punch Monarca AT. Sure that it's a Churchill? can't comment on the cigar in the photo (will post mine if i can find the downloading cord thingee) but mine definitely a churchill and that is the band.

Also, I don't have the cigar - I saw this in my 'net travels, and really never thought twice about it until Ken's post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Ken, Punch Churchills Tubos have the plain jane brown band. I haven't seen any in Australia since 1998 as I believe that was around the last time they were brought into this country. Still available around the world but not often seen.

I think I may even still have the tubes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
