Ever had or heard of a Punch Trabuco?

The Trabuco is a small panatela measuring about 4.3" by 38. According to Trevor's website (www.cubancigarwebsite.com) Punch has never made a Trabuco. According to the same site, the only Trabucos around are the Monte Open Junior and the Hoyo du Depute. Are you sure it's a Punch you're thinking of?
Was thinking the same thing...
This is the Habanos forum, as in Habanos S.A. (the company that distributes Cuban cigars around the world). There are two Punch brands: one Cuban and one non-Cuban. The cigar you are referring to is a non-Cuban cigar. You might have better luck getting an answer to your question in the general Cigar forum here on BOTL.
You don't need to apologize to me. I'm just pointing out that you might not get the feedback you are looking for by asking about a non-Cuban cigar in a Cuban cigar forum.
There's nothing to confirm. I am telling you that cigar is not Cuban.
Ok. But according to a "source" they made some 6x60's a few years ago and now they released some more. Supposedly super rare. I don't know as I'm a newbie with these, but he hasn't steered me wrong yet and no reason to pull my leg. I'll keep researching, but if I smoke one someday soon, I'll definitely let you guys know!

I don't know of any cigars bigger then the Behike 56 that are part of Cuba's reg production. I do know a few rollers in Havana that specialize in the huge sticks but they would not even have bands to be tied to a brand.
Even "super rare" Cuban cigars are listed on Trevor's site (e.g. 40th Anniversary numbered Behikes). I trust that if a cigar has been officially released by Habanos S.A. it will make its way onto www.cubancigarwebsite.com sooner rather than later.Ok.

Do you have a picture of your Punch Habano? That will tell us a lot.

And these are not Habanos releases. They may have some factory support behind them which will help with quality tobacco but still not a much more then a custom from any of the rollers in Havana. Only brands I have seen come banded that were not released through Habanos are some VR farmies with bands and some small release stuff rolled for the partagas festival
