Sancho Panza is a cigar with a rich and well-known history. The cigar was so named after the humorous character of Don Quixote’s squire in Miguel de Cervantes’ 1605 novel. The brand was founded in 1852 by Emilio Ahmsted and produced at the Romeo y Julieta factory. These medium-bodied cigars found much favor, in part because of their larger size. Today these cigars are enjoyed by many and are an affordable brand, making them even more popular.
Sancho Panza carries a long line of fine cigars. One of the rarer examples is the Sancho Panza Bachilleres, which is one of the milder in the brand. This cigar leans more towards the bitter than the sweet in flavor and is known for having a perfect draw. It has a more mild, rustic taste than many of its contemporaries. Belicosos are also mild cigars from this line. This is a good starter cigar for those just wetting their tastes. One could smoke this cigar for any occasion. Sancho Panza Coronas are delicious cigars with much richer flavors of cocoa and others. There is also an earthy hint to it, which makes it a delightful smoke.
Another favorite are the Sancho Panza Molinos cigars, which have a medium and mellow taste. Many have said this well-balanced cigar is the first one to try of the Sancho Panza brand. Of course, those impressed with size may disagree and opt for the Sancho Panza Sanchos cigar, which is known for its thick gauge. The taste is sweet and mild, but the size is anything but gentle. This is cigar to spend plenty of time with.
