Punch Golden Era Lancero Arrives at Stores

The collaboration between General Cigar Co. and JRE Tobacco has got a new size.

Last week, General Cigar Co. began shipping the Punch Golden Era Lancero, a cigar that measures 7 x 38. It’s the fourth regular production size for the Golden Era line, which debuted last year. General sells the cigars, which are made by the Eiroa family’s Fábrica de Puros Aladino at Las Lomas Jamastran in Honduras. As with many of the JRE’s cigars, Golden Era is made entirely of Honduran tobaccos grown by the Eiroa family, specifically a corojo wrapper and binder and corojo and habano fillers.

The MSRP for the Golden Era Lancero is $10.99 and they come in boxes of 20 cigars.

“The Eiroa family has perfected corojo tobacco and we are excited to bring it to life with Punch Golden Era,” said John Hakim, brand manager for Punch, in a press release when the cigar was announced last year. “This tobacco delivers a silky, golden wrapper, a binder with ideal combustibility and a filler that produces unique spicy notes and a spectrum of nuances. We’re especially pleased to make a true Corojo experience available for cigar lover to enjoy any time the occasion calls for a rich and rewarding smoke.”

General Cigar Co. began shipping the Golden Era Lancero on July 1.
