Sancho Panza 'Quixote' Double Maduro

Sancho Panza 'Quixote' Double Maduro Robusto. 4.5x50. Dark brown sweated wrap. Nice and oily. Good box construction, smooth lines, flat veins. Cut and lit well. Draw was moderate pre-light and post. First half tastes of rich roasted leaf, scorched hard wood, almond. Second half is roasted walnut, slightly sweet oaky, faint earthy spice on the exhale. Even burn across the stick. Ash is pure white clean, holding at nearly two inches before the drop.

This is an excellent cigar. A fine oscuro taste with an oily Maduro wrap, a blend of mild and medium tobacco, whose flavor gradually mellows while still retaining a faint herbal spice on each exhale. Worth a good 45 minutes of your time. Highly recommended.

From the company:

"Sancho Panza Double Maduro is a powerhouse of Honduran, Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers with 4-year-aged Connecticut broadleaf wrappers and Connecticut Shade binders sun-ripened to an extra-dark Maduro color. One of the best of the new dark wrapper cigars in taste and price!"

"Gorgeous oscuros. The Sancho Panza Double Maduro is a nice-looking Honduran, made from a long-filler blend of Honduran, Nicaraguan and Dominican Piloto Cubano leaves, along with an alluring, dark, oily Oscuro wrapper. Medium to full-bodied with some spiciness."
