Sancho Panza (Hon) Caballero

Great new addition to the cigar smoker's market. Got introduced to this at The Big Smoke in Las Vegas 2000.

I tend to disagree with both reviews, the CA and the T25C. I have smoked two boxes of these guys. The norm has been a very good cigar, excellent and even burn in over 95% of the sticks, never a bad draw, always a complex and satisfactory taste with acce

85 days in humidor.

This cigar is another solid offering from SP. Appearance is that of a solid feeling square pressed shape showing off a medium brown, slightly veiny wrapper. Produces copious plumes of smoke upon lighting. Burns sharp and fairly even to the end creating a tightly formed long medium gray ash. Has a relaxing easy draw throughout. Overall this is a smooth but medium bodied cigar with notes predominantly of spice, cream, toasted wood and a touch of caramel and cocoa. Flavors stay smooth and even to the end.

I prefer their Double Maduros for a fuller flavored smoke, but this one is also all quality.

This was a very good cigar. The Mex/Nic blend had great taste with a little spice. Good burn and construction. A smooth smoke for mexican but I like mexican cigars. I think this is a good intro cigar for those looking to try mexican cigars. this wont turn you off and will keep you interested.

My appreciation for this cigar grew as I smoked it with my 4-legged Caballeros, as we hiked through the late May mountain foliage of West Virginia. The flavor started out delicous and only varied in complexity and not in quality. The burn was near perfect and the draw was of the same mind. Though the Sancho Panza Caballero has a rough-hewn, "old school" look, it's still a very good cigar ask the canines.

This is a good everyday smoke. Not too expensive, good flavor, around the mild-medium range. When I'm standing at the stogie store and looking around I usually buy at least one of these just cause they're so consistent. You can't really go wrong with these smokes.

Can't go wrong with the panzas, and their basic line here is up to snuff.
Uniform, no veins, spongy to the touch. Easy light, good draw. Salt and pepper ash, even burn down to the nub.
Mild, creamy, some fresh wood and walnut.
A good smoke, just not as complex as the Xtra Fuentes.

Believe everyone who rated it at least an 8. It is that good of a cigar for the price. I was expecting a stronger tasting cigar, but it was mild through the 1/2 and finally got stronger near the last 1/4 of smoke. Highly recommend for the mild smoker.

Nice and smooth. Some burn problems at the end but all in all a good smoke. Very smooth. Very satisfied with the whole sancho panza line. Would recommend to anyone for a nice smooth tasty smoke.........wont break the bank either!!

Got this cigar as part of a sampler, very nice cigar with a nice amount of spice, maybe a bit simple. i tend to go for the la mancha. was a very good cigar though with great construction and burn

I bought 2 about a month ago had one to start out with, thought it was ok not great , then a few weeks later I had the second and I thought it was much better than before so much that I went to my smoke shop the next day to get a box. I think Ill let them age a little first though, seems thats all they need to get real nice. Overall good for the money.

Another breakfast cigar. Lit well and burned OK. Had a few problems with uneven blaze, and a couple of inexplicable burn outs, but nothing too bad. Taste of nuts, yeah, mostly nuts throughout. Maybe a hint of bitter chocolate, burnt caramel. Fragrant smoke scent. I sat under the deck on the patio as the sun came over the house. Blew the smoke up into the slatted sunlight and it drifted through on the air current. This was a visual experience as much as anything. Not bad. Was one of the cheaper cigars at the local overpriced stick it to ‘em stogie shop. Considering that, a value. Ultimately kicked me in the can for some reason. Had to towel off.

While some cigars seem to demand attention, this one is a trouble-free companion. No fussing with it to maintain the burn, a nice, mild, nutty flavor... 60 minutes of pure pleasure.

Like most Sancho Panza's an excellent, even burn and easy draw, perhaps a bit to easy. Tons of smoke with some spice, medium bodied with a sneaky strength. And it won't hurt the wallet.

What a pleasant little (Gran Corona?) cigar. This cigar is a great value ($2.10 at JR) and doesn't dissapoint. Not very complex, but has good flavor and a mild-medium body. Just right to wake up to. I recommend the Double Maduro Cervantes if you're looking for something with a bit more kick.

I was shopping around the local cigar store when I asked the guy about these Sancho Panzas. He told me how the manufacturer wraps these cigars very tightly so that they draw poorly, and therefore burn slowly. Discouraged, I decided to try one for myself because it was only about $3. Man, was he wrong. That first one and the second one and all in the box thereafter draw perfectly as advertised, have a great flavor - not too mild and not strong enough to give you a buzz, and are relatively cheap! A perfect cigar to smoke while doing some work around the house or to give to friends at a party. You must try one.

I can't believe the praise these things have been getting + the high rating from CA. I picked up two of these when looking for a nice value, everyday smoke. I felt like someone had played a cruel joke on me. Tasted harsh at the start and then the metallic tast showed up and never left. I smoked this about 2/3 to the end and threw it out in disgust. Maybe a bad box? Who knows, but I'd rather smoke dog sh*t than have an experience like this again.

Finished my box with still nothing but praise for this Corona. All had been constructed well with a great white/grey ash and flawless burn. The taste was med/full with a very spicey nutty flavor similar to a Padron 3000.

Still highly recommend this smoke and at $3 a piece a great bargain.

A great cigar. A must have for any humidor!

This is about as average as they come. Quite a step away from their Havana line. Nevertheless, a decent smoke at an affordable price. There are probably better out there, but if you happen to have this one, aint too bad.

Excellent evening smoke with smoth draw, long white ash and medium tones right to the ring. Just a slight bitterness past the ring.
This cigar belongs in every humidor.

Being a Sancho Panza I expected a lot more. Bland with no depth and lacking any real flavor. Because of the name it's worth another try. No where near as good as the Dulcinea.

A great cigar. Reliable pleasure. Better than most smokes costing 3 times as much. Love having these in my humidor.

Who says you have to spend "big bucks" on a quality cigar? Smoked this one to the hilt and it became one of my favorites real fast. Super fantastic taste to the ring. Would you believe a three inch ash? Buying all I can get!

I thought this smoke was OK,definitely not great.

This brand is impressive in Flavor and Constuction. This Size/shape burned more evenly, and with a smoother draw. The taste is the same...great. Really worth the price!

GOOD BUY AND VERY IMPRESSIVE UNDERTONES OF TASTE IN A HOND SMOKE..

A nice smooth stick. Almost creamy. Deceivingly strong. You can feel it in your gut after you smoke one. Not exactly ISOM, but you can tell the heritage. At 2 bucks a pop, you can't not smoke one.
