At this price, who would believe a cigar could achieve a Cigar Insider rating as high as this? But the secret of Sancho Panza is found in its blend of mellow Honduran, Nicaraguan, and Dominican Piloto Cubano tobaccos. This wonderful cigar sports a rich Cuban lineage and a flavorful Connecticut Shade wrapper. These are all carefully put together and hand-crafted and square pressed to produce a cigar that is as remarkable as it is economical. Like its fictional namesake from Don Quixote, the greatest novel of Spanish literature, this is a cigar with its feet planted firmly on the ground. Indeed, Cigar Insider refers to it as having “an earthy, herbal flavor that gets richer as the cigar is smoked. A leathery finish.” We think this is a cigar the loyal but pragmatic squire of the famous literary knight errant would be justly proud. This is the 93-rated Sancho Panza.
