One of the oldest Cuban cigar brand, Sancho Panza has been manufacturing cigars since 1848 in La Havana, when it was established by Don Emilio Ohmsted. Named after Don Quixote’s squire in the classic Cervantes’ novel from 1605, the marca based in Havana has been hand rolling cigars with longer-filler tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo in the Pinar del Río tobacco growing region. Sancho Panza cigars are generally considered to be medium in strength and their current production cigars are the Sancho Panza Belicoso and the Sancho Panza Non-Plus.
There is also a Hondurian Sancho Panza cigar brand that was started after the Cuban revolution. However, the original brand is Cuban Sancho Panza that is mentioned here.

Sancho Panza Non Plus - 25 cigars
149,00 $USÉpuisé
The Sancho Panza Non Plus is a delightful and creamy medium bodied Petit Corona, 5.1” (129mm) long, of 42 ring gauge, and comes in a 25 cigars box. It is somewhat close to a Vegas Robaina Familiar in taste. It presents a nice mix of flavors in the palate, such as earth, wood, peat, leather (quite salty and dank flavors), but there is also some sweetness of cocoa, vanilla, chocolate and some fruity notes of raisin, and hints of oatmeal. For such an attractive price, it would be a miss not to try this Habanos. It can be a bit young and powerful, but overtime, after 2 or 3 years of ageing, the flavors will be magnified. It is definitely a cigar that deserves publicity. En savoir plus
