Sancho Panza Belicosos Cigar - Box of 25

So far I have enjoyed every Cuban Ive tried, so I was looking forward to trying a Sancho Panza but unfortunately this belicosos had an incredibly tight draw, so tight that I could barely produce any smoke at all, this along with the wrapper developing a split made this stick a very exhausting & underwhelming experience.

These are very mild cigars, and wont satisfy anyone who always needs some strength and body in their cigars. They build from very mild to touching the lower end of medium near the end with a fairly short finish. But these can be really enjoyable delicate smokes with a unique profile. Slightly dry on the opening, bright woods, a whisp of mocha, a hint of sweet cream, lovely floral and herbal notes and a rather saline quality.

First let me thank Sancho Panza and (the Cuban people) so much for this unique cigar. medium+ body, the draw, burn, and constrection are amazing. Varied bouquet of Flavors, aromas, and after tastes.. Such as grassy, earthy, pepper, woody, salt, leather, and creamy smoke. I will make sure keeps a large number of these fancy sticks in my cigar humidors. Thank you so much C.GARS , Michelle Adler for all excellent choices and services. ✨

Leathery texture and good draw, reach and creamy smoke, firm ash that holds up to 1 inch easily; mind that requirement to re-ignite is not such a bad thing, I take it well over 60 minutes at times and enjoy it with whiskey or wine on a quiet evening in the porch. Can have bittersweet notes and hint of vanila and spices, one of my favorites, especially for the medium complexity and great taste in your mouth at the end.

Reviewed by Jack Schonhaut (June 2001) I didn't know I was going to be a taste tester until these beauties arrived with my order from MO. I have smoked this vitola before and found them to be pleasant with a mild to medium flavor. These looked darker than any Sancho Panza I have previously seen with almost a maduro hue. There was also a beautiful oily sheen that made them look like they were going to try out for the Mr./Ms Universe pageant. I grudgingly put them in the humidor to rest for a week before I started my tasting. The first candidate was smoked after lunch. It was a nice sunny day, perfect for a leisurely smoke on the deck. There cigar looked perfect. Smooth, no veins and firm to the touch. The cut was clean and the pre-light aroma was a smell of cedar. Upon lighting there was an easy draw with a medium to full flavor that included tastes of cedar and coffee. I'm not talking about a latte, I mean fresh ground Columbian, in a big cup. This was not the taste of the Sancho Panza I've had before. This continued through the first third of the smoke as a firm dark gray ash developed. After the first third there arrived a definite taste of honey with more of a sweet cedar flavor. The coffee flavor subsided at this point and the flavors just mellowed out. Clouds of smoke, smooth draw, never harsh or dry all the way to the finish. This was a great way to spend an afternoon. Candidate Number two was smoked after dinner the following evening. There was the same oily sheen but the cigar seemed soft to the touch. As I feared this one was too loosely rolled. The coffee flavor was there in the beginning and some cedar at the end. It just wasn't a smoke you would linger over because it smoked hot and harsh towards the end. The had the third the following evening. It mirrored the first in appearance and flavor. I would not suggest this pyramid for enjoyment after a heavy dinner. It does seem best to help while away a spring or Summer afternoon. Thank you MO for these wonderful smokes.
