PUNCH BOTTLE ROCKET CIGARS - YEAR OF THE SNAKE 2025

General Cigar Co. will once again celebrate the Lunar New Year, this time with a new cigar called the Punch Bottle Rocket. 

It’s a 4 1/2 x 50 figurado that uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder from the Estelí region, and a combination of Dominican, Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers. The company describes it as “a full-bodied smoke that delivers a spicy and peppery yet balanced flavor profile.”

“Much like a good firework, Punch Bottle Rockets are powerful, eye-catching, and surprising in all the right ways,” said Scott Abney, brand manager for Punch, via a press release. “Beyond the colorful packaging and bombastic branding lies a truly excellent cigar crafted with a rich Mexican San Andrés wrapper. Grab a pack of Bottle Rockets and start the Lunar New Year off with a bang!”

The Punch Bottle Rocket is made at STG Danlí in Honduras, and while it is a limited edition release, the company is not disclosing production numbers.
