Punch Golden Era Ships to Stores
The Punch Golden Era, a line made for General Cigar Co. by Julio and Justo Eiroa and featuring their Honduran-grown tobacco, is on its way to stores.
The Eiroas, well-known as the father-and-son duo behind JRE Tobacco Co., are producing the line at Fábrica de Puros Aladino at Las Lomas Jamastran, the factory that makes JRE Tobacco Co.’s cigars. The line uses Honduran corojo for the wrapper and binder, while the filler includes Honduran habano.
The Punch Golden Era is offered in three sizes:
- Punch Golden Era Robusto (5 x 50) — $9.99 (Box of 20, $199.80)
- Punch Golden Era Toro (6 x 52) — $10.49 (Box of 20, $209.80)
- Punch Golden Era Churchill (7 x 48) — $10.99 (Box of 20, $219.80)
“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. “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.”

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
