SANCHO PANZA

Like other great Havana brands such as Montecristo and Romeo y Julieta, Sancho Panza takes it name from a masterpiece of world literature.

In Don Quixote, the famous 17th Century Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes, it was Sancho Panza who served the errant knight as his faithful squire. His name was first used for a Havana in 1848 and since then it has enjoyed a reputation for quality amongst discerning smokers. Don Quixote was, of course, famous for tilting at windmills.

The range today comprises of  four cigars including the Molino or mill, which is a Cervantes size.

Filled with a medium-bodied blend of filler and binder tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo zone, all sizes are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.

BELICOSOS

A rare, medium-bodied belicoso that merits searching out. A very classy member of the Campana family,

Mild toasty, salty and peppery tobacco flavours, but not much spice, very smooth and creamy. With an even burn and a perfect draw this cigar is ideal for a late afternoon taster.

90 / 100

"Toasty and floral, this dark, slightly-pressed belicoso shows a vanilla-like quality with a floral undertone, a bit of salt and some star anise. An oaky note emerges as well..."
