It had been decades since the Cuban Punch brand saw a new size in its regular-production portfolio, but at the 2019 Habanos Festival, a most unexpected announcement was made: Punch was getting a robusto. This was particularly exciting news for Punch fans for a number of reasons. First, there was the sheer novelty of any addition to the brand whatsoever, as Habanos had only been deleting Punch sizes over the years, not adding them. But secondly, Punch was a rarity among Cuban cigar brands, one that never had a robusto in its regular portfolio, so the advent of the Short de Punch created much buzz among Habanophiles.
As it turned out, the cigar more than lived up to the hype—it’s one of the finest Cuban Punches we’ve encountered in years. Each puff brings all the warm qualities of holiday baking from nutmeg and oatmeal cookies to pecans and graham cracker, but there’s a spicy hint of hot chili oil tying it all together in unexpected ways.
Over the last decade, Cuban Punches have come and gone, either appearing as Regional Editions or the occasional Edición Limitada. Some of them have even been released in the robusto format, but production was small, availability was limited to a particular country and none of them were ever as good (or as accessible) as the Short de Punch.
There’s a profoundly warm note of baked oatmeal cookie that drives this cigar from first puff to last, but plenty of other qualities like pecan, graham cracker and even a spicy hint of chili oil make this a delicious smoke.
This tawny robusto, which draws and burns beautifully, has a backbone of coffee, oak and leather that also shows sweeter notes of toffee and butterscotch. Hints of tea emerge before the hazelnut finish. This cigar is sold in Switzerland for 13. 30 Swiss francs.
In Cuba, Punch Short de Punch are generally priced lower than in international markets. Cuban cigars typically range from $8 to $90 USD per cigar, depending on the brand, vitola, and availability. Prestigious names such as Cohiba, Montecristo, and Partagás sit at the higher end. There is no real price advantage to purchasing full boxes, as the per-cigar cost remains the same unless you intend to leave the country with more than 50 cigars, in which case proper documentation is required to avoid confiscation by Cuban authorities.
For online buyers, packaging plays a key role. Boxed Punch Short de Punch cigars require official documentation and customs review before leaving the country, increasing shipping complexity and cost. That is why Punch Short de Punch cigars purchased online often cost more than in Cuba, largely due to the required paperwork for shipping. Punch Short de Punch cigars can also be shipped without boxes while maintaining the same quality, and are backed by a 100% money-back guarantee on delivery, offering a more refined and cost-conscious approach.
Advice: Always request a receipt when purchasing cigars in Cuba “no exceptions”. Without proper documentation, cigars especially boxes will be confiscated by Cuban authorities during inspection on your return flight home.
The most seamless approach is to purchase Punch Short de Punch directly through us online or at our retail shop in Havana, Cuba. Even if your Punch Short de Punch cigars were not sourced through us, our team can assist in arranging everything for you while you are in Cuba, ensuring a smooth and discreet experience.
When departing Cuba, airport customs generally allow one box and one bundle without a receipt. While some suggest higher quantities may pass without documentation, a more measured approach is always preferred. Maintaining your receipt is strongly recommended.
For those seeking a more effortless experience, shipping Punch Short de Punch is often the preferred option—particularly when traveling with larger quantities or without full documentation.
Short answer: No. (Consider purchasing online instead.)
Long answer: Yes… if you understand how the conversation is meant to unfold.
When arriving in the U.S., the question is rarely just about cigars it’s about how you answer. If asked whether you have anything to declare, the reply is simple and measured “No”, especially when the total value stays within that familiar $800 threshold, a number that, like most things, can change over time. 95% of the time you will have no issues.
If the conversation becomes more direct, the details matter. If you are arriving from Cuba, the answer should still be “No”, because any cigars or liquor will be taken away if you say Yes. If you say No and they inspect your bags, worst case they’ll confiscate your cigars and liquor, and give you a verbal warning. Do not attempt to negotiate or explain, just say “I didn’t know” nothing more. The goal at this point is to leave with a verbal warning.
Saying “Yes” will ALWAYS result in losing your cigars and liquor.
If you are arriving from Spain or anywhere outside of Cuba, then you can answer “Yes” and simply say you have cigars or liquor from Spain or wherever your journey last took you. Do not say Punch Short de Punch, just keep it simple and say cigars.
Avoid all of this and buy from us, or have us ship it to you if you already sourced your cigars in Cuba.
It’s not about avoiding the truth it’s about understanding how it’s told. Like a good cigar, timing and delivery are everything. The goal is to arrive home and enjoy your Punch Short de Punch.

Read MorePUNCH Short de Punch
This short robusto carries a somewhat dull claro colorado wrapper, soft to the touch yet promising. The cold draw offers whispers of wood, earth, and dried fruit, inviting patience and attention.
At first light, the smoke unfurls with notes of dried fruits and subtle toasty hints. Like last year, the strength rises swiftly, settling into a bold and sustained presence early on.
The second third wraps the palate in rich caramel and smoky peat tones, delivered by a thick, enveloping smoke. Yet, the body gently tapers, giving space to reflection.
The final phase warms with cozy notes of fresh-baked bread, culminating in a hearty, full-bodied finish.
Reflection: More robust than one might expect, this impeccably crafted short robusto is a new star in a label that’s eager for fresh modules. It proudly retains its four rings from last year a fine balance of power and pleasure at a favorable price point.
