Introducing Punch Knuckle Buster Shade

Punch is unveiling a new cigar to the Knuckle Buster line. Called Knuckle Buster Shade, the cigar — as its name suggests — features a Connecticut Shade wrapper. Knuckle Buster Shade follows the original Punch Knuckle Buster (Habano, released four years ago), and Knuckle Buster Maduro (released two years ago). It is a full-time addition to the Punch portfolio.  

Punch Knuckle Buster Shade Blend Breakdown

Punch Knuckle Buster Shade is the most mellow offering in the Knuckle Buster series, and it features an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper above a Mexican binder. Filler tobaccos include Colombian, Dominican Olor, USA Broadleaf, and Nicaraguan Jalapa. 

Punch is really excited to introduce a rare shade offering to the portfolio.  We have managed to develop an elegant six-country blend that is smooth enough to smoke with your morning coffee but gutsy enough to be a Knuckle Buster.  Plus we were able to keep it at the Knuckle Buster price point that fans love.  Get out and try a Knuckle Buster Shade today.  You will not be disappointed.

Tasting notes are nutty, earthy and toasty. Recommended pairings for Knuckle Buster shade are cappuccino, Syrah and Pilsners.
