Still Watching My Back

Another standby cigar for me. I think it is also noob friendly due to the smooth sweet flavor profile it has.
I enjoy it so much, I always have at least a box resting in the cooler. The cigar I'm smoking for this review is fairly fresh. The cigar: Sancho Panza Double Maduro Size: 6.5 x 48 Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf Binder: Connecticut Shade Filler: Honduras/Nicaragua/Dominican Republic Price: $58 for a box of 20. Pre-Light: Firm and tightly packed. Box pressed. Clean, well made cigar with minor veins. The foot has a barnyard with a little pepper. Firm draw but I suspect due to the freshness (I recv'd them 2 weeks ago from an order). I will be enjoying (I hope) this cigar with a Tripel beer (Watou Tripel - St. Bernadus). ![]() First Third: Such a sweet maduro flavor! Even with the first few puffs, the sweetness coats my mouth. This cigar is a little (over) humidified which most likely explains the firm draw but doesn't really affect the smoking experience. Slight pepper aftertaste with a hint of wood/cedar. Sweet molasses coming in which really compliments the tripel beer I'm drinking. ![]() Second Third: The woodsy/molasses flavor still coming into the front. Slight pepper and cedar in the background. Same flavors which I am enjoying. ![]() Last Third: A little harshness coming in but it's not too bad. Cedar coming in more to the front with the sweetness slowly going away but not totally going away. Good tobacco flavors! ![]() Conclusion: Another good smoke for the price. It is as complex or intense as some other well known cigars? No, but sitting here watching the pre-game show for the Man United vs QPR with a good beer, it's a damn good combo. Life is good. |
