James J. Fox proudly introduces Ireland’s first Habanos Regional Edition, the Punch Néctares No. 50, to the UK. To celebrate its launch, an event will be held at our 19 St James’s Street store on February 5th, where guests can be among the first to sample this exclusive cigar. For one week, it will be available at James J. Fox venues (19 St James’s Street, Harrods, and Selfridges) before being sent to Havana Cigar Specialists across the country.
The Punch Néctares has a rich history, having been a sought-after line made exclusively for James J. Fox until the 1980s. The Néctares No. 50 debuted in Dublin on June 22, 2025, during a launch party hosted by Ampersand and Hunters & Frankau. Rob Fox, Managing Director of Ampersand and Director of James J. Fox, expressed pride in this milestone.
The Néctares No.50 Magnum 50 size cigar (50 x 160mm – 6 ¼”), adorned with two bands: a Punch band and a Regional Edition band stating “Exclusivo Irlanda.” Only 1,400 cabinet boxes (70,000 cigars in total) have been produced, making them collectibles. They feature a blend of filler and binder tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo zone in Cuba and are made entirely by hand.
