Unfortunately the iconic Punch Monarch has been discontinued and we have now exhausted all stocks. The Punch brand is still as strong as ever but new sizes have been released over the years that have proved more popular than this particular Punch. We have left the listing on our website for historical reference and interest.
A single, individually tubed, H.Upmann Monarch (Churchill) Cuban Cigar! Upmanns Churchill
The Upmann brand was founded in 1844 by the Upmann brothers who were two wealthy bankers with a healthy appreciation for the smoking qualities of hand rolled cigars combined with the Cuban flavour. However they found the majority of Cubans around at the time were too strong to enjoy comfortably. The Upmann was therefore introduced to fill this void and are now a household name and one of the most popular cigars in our humidors.
The H.Upmann Monarch is presented well with a nice silky smooth oily wrapper. The construction is very good which means it has a nice even burn with a perfect draw. The taste is nutty and peppery, some compare it to a nice burgundy with a pleasant tart tang. This cigar goes well with a nice gin or scotch while sat in the garden. The Upmann are a mild flavoured cigar, which in general will be enjoyed by all levels of smokers but beware of the Monarchs heavy gauge and burn time. It is one of the most manageable cigars of this size but still requires a substantial commitment.
Individualy tubed: The H Upmann Tubed range of cigars are individually packaged in a cedar lined aluminium tube. As well as being decorative the Cedar lined tube also helps preserve your cigar for up to a year without the use of a humidor meaning they are always ready for that special occasion that a cigar of this quality is designed to represent. They also make ideal presents as they do not need to be smoked immediately.
Hand Rolled: The tradition of being rolled on a maidens thy can be questioned but the added quality a cigar beholds from being hand rolled by an experienced Cigar Roller cannot. Each cigar is rolled to the same density with full length filler (leaves), providing the perfect draw and ash build up, which cannot be matched by a machine.
Please note the H.Upmann cigars require cutting or punching before they can be enjoyed.
