Sancho Panza (Cuba) Non Plus

The fist third was mellow not much flavor, but the last two thirds were very good tons of flavor, billowing smoke and an excellent ash. I didn't want to put it down worth twice the price. Date code 05/99

Not bad for the price, a little light in the flavor dept to start but finished nice.

This mareva ranks 2nd right behind the PLPC. Good cuban flavors, most suprising for such a small vitola. This has to be one of the best values from Habanos SA.

Smoked a '98 and thought it was an excellent cigar. Nice creamy flavors, milder than a Party Short but rich with smoke. Great cigar for someone with just 30-40 minutes to burn. Drew and burned nicely.

There are so many great marevas that the competition is ridiculous. No wonder, this is a great size for a cigar in my books. The Panza is inexpensive relative to the competition, flavors are not in your face but nice. Good with breakfast coffee on a lazy morning.

among the best cuban petit coronas I ever tasted, nice aroma, good taste, almost perfect burn and draw

Big in flavor. A bit of the wild west in this one. Compact with a dark wrapper, this cigar strated spicy and became more full and flavoricious as it went. I burned my lips on this one.

Smoked 2003-04. Decent wrapper along the lines of a Monte 4. Good draw, though burn begins to angle halfway through. Non-abrasive flavour. Subtle spice and grassy notions with creaminess lurking. The taste can pass you right by if you don't pay attention.

Silky smooth wrapper with just a little bit of tooth. It was also a little bit veiny and the cap was a bit rough. Typical Cuban, dirty ash and a tight draw. Woody with hints of dark chocolate.
