I`d tend to disagree here, folks. The Sancho Panza Belicoso is often compared (unfairly) to a Monte 2 or Vegas Robaina Unico - it`s not the same kind of cigar and is probably more analogous to a Diplomaticos 2. This is a fine light to mild torpedo with an open draw and leathery, woody tastes. I like Sancho Panzas very much and the Belicoso is a good example. The heavy gauge, however, lends for a few sharp notes - hell, sharp notes are a good thing, try a Monte some time - this is a fine Cuban cigar and I`d be very pleased if someone bought me a box. Mine don`t go out too often, either. No more than my Monte 2`s do.
