PUNCH TO LAUNCH CHOP  SUEY LIMITED EDITION CIGAR

PUNCH TO LAUNCH CHOP SUEY LIMITED EDITION CIGAR

Punch will kick off The Year of The Rat with the launch of a limited-edition smoke called Punch Chop Suey, a follow up to 2019’s wildly-successful Punch Egg Roll cigar.

Ed Lahmann, senior brand manager of Punch and the creator of Chop Suey said, “We had a lot of fun with Punch Egg Roll last year so we decided to come out with a similar release for 2020. With its panatela size, this cigar delivers a great smoking experience in a format that really lets the tobaccos shine through. And with an SRP of less than $6 per cigar, Chop Suey hits that post-holiday sweet spot for cigar lovers.”

Handmade at General Cigar Dominicana in Santiago, DR, Punch Chop Suey is made with a Nicaraguan and Dominican blend and has a Nicaraguan binder with an Ecuadoran Sumatra wrapper.  It will be available in one size only, a 7” x 37 Panatela with a 1” shaggy foot.

The cigars come in 25-count bundles placed inside a Chinese food takeout-style box with a shout out to the Year of the Rat.  The inside of the band features a fortune courtesy of Mr. Punch and there are five fortunes in total.

While the Year of the Rat promises mobility and prosperity, Ed Lahmann gives cigar lovers a bit of advice. “The fortunes are coming from Mr. Punch, so expect a couple of friendly jabs and ‘inspirations’ from the snarky Punch mascot.”

Chop Suey will debut at brick and mortar locations across the country in mid-February and will be limited to 3,650 bundles.

Punch Chop Suey (7” x 37) – SRP per cigar $5.49
