A Lighter Punch Knuckle BusterPhotos/General Cigar Co.
The value brand with the feisty name now comes in a lighter wrapper. Punch Knuckle Buster, which debuted in 2020, is available in a milder blend that owner General Cigar Co. describes as an “elegant yet rugged smoke.”
Punch Knuckle Buster Shade
The new Punch Knuckle Buster Shade is made at the HATSA factory in Honduras and rolled with a Connecticut-seed wrapper grown in Ecuador. Underneath is a Mexican binder holding together a filler combination of Dominican, Nicaraguan and American (broadleaf) tobacco.
Priced well below $10, the cigars come in four sizes: Robusto, measuring 5 1/2 inches by 50 ring gauge ($5.39); Toro, at 6 by 52 ($6.09); a 6-by-60 Gordo ($6.59) and a new size appropriately called Stubby, measuring 4 1/2 by 60 ($5.49). While the Robusto and Toro come in boxes of 25, the Gordo and Stubby are packed in 20-count boxes.
Punch Knuckle Buster Maduro
And speaking of Stubby, General is also adding the Stubby to its Punch Knuckle Buster Maduro line. The size and price are the same as the Shade, only this blend has a little bit more, well, punch, with its dark, broadleaf wrapper, Indonesian binder and Nicaraguan filler.
