Punch is unveiling a new cigar to the Knuckle Buster line. Called Knuckle Buster Shade, the cigar — as its name suggests — features a Connecticut Shade wrapper. Knuckle Buster Shade follows the original Punch Knuckle Buster (Habano, released four years ago), and Knuckle Buster Maduro (released two years ago). It is a full-time addition to the **[Punch portfolio](https://www.punchcigars.com/brands/)**.

### **Punch Knuckle Buster Shade Blend Breakdown**

Punch Knuckle Buster Shade is the most mellow offering in the Knuckle Buster series, and it features an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper above a Mexican binder. Filler tobaccos include Colombian, Dominican Olor, USA Broadleaf, and Nicaraguan Jalapa.

Punch is really excited to introduce a rare shade offering to the portfolio.  We have managed to develop an elegant six-country blend that is smooth enough to smoke with your morning coffee but gutsy enough to be a Knuckle Buster.  Plus we were able to keep it at the Knuckle Buster price point that fans love.  Get out and try a Knuckle Buster Shade today.  You will not be disappointed.

Tasting notes are nutty, earthy and toasty. Recommended pairings for Knuckle Buster shade are cappuccino, Syrah and Pilsners.
