Punch Dragon Fire (5.0" x 60)

The Punch Dragon Fire (5.0" x 60) is a Nicaragua-made, Full-strength Robusto Gordo from Punch's 2024 Lunar New Year limited release. It combines a Mexican San Andrés wrapper with a Nicaraguan Condega binder and fillers from Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and Honduras. Its 5 × 60 flathead format was the release's only frontmark.

Punch Dragon Fire Specifications

Mexican San Andrés Wrapper Over a Four-Country Blend

The Mexican San Andrés wrapper is the outer leaf on Punch Dragon Fire, replacing the conflicting Ecuadorian wrapper information previously associated with this product.

Beneath it sits a Nicaraguan Condega binder surrounding filler from Nicaraguan Estelí, the Dominican Republic, and Honduran La Entrada. The blend therefore draws tobacco from four countries while the finished cigar itself is manufactured in Nicaragua.

Punch's published profile centers on cocoa, earth, and coffee rather than the unrelated tasting-note sets previously shown for this product.

Robusto Gordo Flathead at 5 × 60

Dragon Fire uses a short, broad 5.0" × 60 Robusto Gordo format with a distinctive flat head. Buyers comparing similarly wide cigars can browse TRP's Gordo cigars collection.

A 60 ring gauge equals 60/64 of an inch in diameter, while the five-inch length keeps the format comparatively compact. Those measurements describe the cigar's physical proportions and should not be treated as indicators of strength.

Punch released Dragon Fire in one 5 × 60 frontmark rather than as a multi-vitola line, making the format part of the identity of this specific 2024 release.

Full Strength with Cocoa, Earth, and Coffee

TRP classifies Punch Dragon Fire in the Full strength range.

The manufacturer-linked profile lists cocoa, earth, and coffee. These are published tasting descriptors for Dragon Fire and are separate from its Full strength classification.

No manufacturer source used for this page documents a first-, second-, and final-third progression, so a staged flavor sequence has not been added.

STG Estelí Production for Punch's 2024 Lunar New Year Release

Punch Dragon Fire was hand rolled in Estelí, Nicaragua, with industry documentation identifying STG Estelí as the production factory. Buyers exploring other cigars made in the country can compare TRP's Nicaraguan cigars.

Dragon Fire was created as the sixth installment in Punch's Lunar New Year series and specifically marked the 2024 Year of the Dragon. It followed earlier annual releases including Egg Roll, Chop Suey, Kung Pow!, Fu Manchu, and Spring Roll.

Within TRP, buyers can browse the broader Punch collection or the dedicated Punch Dragon Fire collection.

Pairing the Full-Strength 5 × 60 Dragon Fire

The Full strength and broad Robusto Gordo format make Dragon Fire more relevant to smokers specifically seeking a stronger Punch release rather than a mild or medium-strength profile.

Punch's published pairing suggestions include porter, tequila, and coffee. Each works differently with the documented cocoa, earth, and coffee profile, so the choice can be adjusted according to whether the preference is malt, agave, or roasted-coffee character.

For cigars held beyond immediate use, maintain stable storage conditions in a suitable humidor. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat, direct sunlight, or major swings in humidity.
