The Punch Egg Roll is a limited edition robusto that will pique your curiosity and satisfy it. A dark, toothy and slightly maduro USA Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper surrounds the Egg Roll’s Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed binder. And if that’s not enough to make your mouth water, this Egg Roll is stuffed with the finest filler tobaccos from four countries: Dominican Republic, Mexico, USA and Colombia. This stick’s shaggy foot is made to resemble the cabbage you’ll find in a real egg roll, but you won’t find any cabbage in this Egg Roll. Medium strength, the Punch Egg Roll has an excellent draw, and a flavor profile that hints of black pepper, earth and underscored with an undeniable sweetness. A bundle of 25 comes packaged in an eye-catching Chinese food take-out carton. Peel off the band and you’ll be treated to a fortune. But your real fortune comes, if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a limited edition Punch Egg Roll.
Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
Mexican
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. In San Andres de Tuxtla (in the state of Vera Cruz), there is a very interesting production of Sumatra seed wrappers. Dark air cured tobaccos are produced in Mexico, mainly in Vera Cruz and Tampico provinces, on the East Coast along the Gulf. There is also some production in Yucatan. Mexico's volcanic soil yields tobacco that is spicy and earthy, with a very distinctive flavor.
Binder
Nicaragua
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
