General Cigar Company has announced the Punch Signature has undergone a packaging change. Featuring the same blend, the new-look Punch Signature will begin reaching stores this month.

“Punch Signature represents the best of Central American cigars. It has a great blend and a medium-plus profile that people really love. This blend was out of stock recently while we updated the packaging so with pent-up demand and the new box design that really pops at retail, we’re sure Punch Signature is going to fly off the shelves,” commented senior brand manager Ed Lahmann in a press release.

The new packaging design eliminates the acrylic window on the original design of the box for the Punch Signature and replaces it with bi-fold panels that tell the story of the blend and expand the brand vista, optimizing the box for display on retailer shelves.

The blend remains the same, featuring an Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper, Connecticut Habano binder and a mix of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. The cigars are available in five regular production sizes – each packaged in 18-count boxes.
