Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte Cordoba

04-09-2011, 12:08 PM

I have to be honest, I first read about this Estelo Padron offering in Cigar Aficionado where it received a 90 point rating. A highly rated Honduran puro for under 4 bucks? This I had to to try, so I ordered a box and here we go!

Size-5 1/4 x 44
Wrapper-Col. Maduro
Origin-Honduras
Strength-Full Body
Smoke Time-1 hour 15 minutes

Very nice wrapper and construction, sweet smelling wrapper with hints of tobacco and farm animal. Draw is good, with slight resistance. Immediately I get sweet vanilla and earthy coffee. Medium body smoke for sure, nice smoke output with a short finish.

Was the Sancho Panza worthy of a 90 point rating? In my opinion no, but it was a very solid smoke nonetheless. For the money, you would be hard pressed to find a better value. I really enjoyed this stick, and if you're looking for another bargain priced Maduro to add to your collection, you might want to give this a try!

I used to smoke the hell out of these and the Double Maduros when I was a noob. Good consistent cigar at a great price. Thanks for the review and for the reminder to grab a box of these some time.

I liked the Double Maduros better, but I haven't had one of these in a while. General cigars makes some decent smokes!

I only have these every once in a while, but the double maduros are in normal rotation for me!
