Sancho Panza (Hon) ‘Double Maduro’ La Mancha

These reviews are all right on. Great construction, some snap and flavor, nice rich smoke. VERY good. These improve with age but they wont last long if you buy some.

I bought a box of these and let me tell ya, great. AT first a little harsh but after a few puffs it mellows right out, flavours change up and i nub these. so great smoke if you like the Med-full range. Has a razor burn and the ash will hold for about 2 inches ( but will fall off if not careful). Try some.

For a couple of bucks, this little guys is a go to favorite of mine. Always, always the cap springs free and has to bt licked back in place. But a small price to pay for the flavor and loads of smoke it produces. Chocolaty coating is how I describe what it does to my mouth! right down to the nub. Season it well and get some moisture back in it and it will oay you back. Ash all the way to the nub if you let it. that taste kind of comes and goes with some other earthy in between.

Dark oscuro wrapper with oily appearance. I have yet to cut this cigar without it coming slightly undone at the cap. Produces a nice white ash and a smooth rich taste with a slight chocolate taste. For the price, can't be beat. A must have for avid maduro fans that don't want to break the bank and enjoy a great stick

Earthy and chocolatey right out of the gate. Generous draw, packed with flavor. Molasses undertones after about an inch, and some coffee from the halfway mark. Not much in the way of spice, which makes this suitable for early in the day. The smoke has a dense, oily mouthfeel. In the budget maduro category, this one's tough to beat. At risk of provoking the cult that has sprung up around the Cinco A, the SPDM owns the A on flavor. The quintessential B&M purchase. While I don't love them enough to load up, I always find myself grabbing one or two before exiting the walk-in. A reliable value.

I bought a box of these by mistake, confusing them with the Quixotes. I tried one out of the box, and found it harsh, hot, and thin, so I put the balance in the humidor and forgot about them for three months. I had another at that time and was impressed at how much better they were. I am smoking these now about one a week and it seems each one is better then the last. Someone willing to camp on these for a few months will be rewarded with a top shelf smoke at bundle prices.

first time trying this brand,not bad.As another review stated i had cap problems also first time using my new xikar which cut it like tissue paper but the cap wrapping came right off.the cigar had a nice smell to it before i lit it,once lit it had a perfect burn,razor sharpe.first noticed a chocolate like taste,with a sort of maduro sweetness.that sweetness did disapear after a few moments.one thing for sure ive been only smoking for a few months,and ive smoke some really good cigars expensive and cheap,none of them made as much smoke as this little corona did smoke was everywhere and it smelled very pleasant.half way thru the cigar developed a sort of crack not sure if it was from storage at shop or something else my humi is at 70% so i dont think it was my doing but anyhow it had no effect on the burn stayed razor sharpe and produced 3 nice long gray ashes during the smoke.the flavor stayed petty much the same to about the last inch and a half where it turned a little bitter and started to burn a little hot, a few seconds later the entire wrapper came off leaving just the binder but it still smoked ok.even though it had constuction flaws for the price it was a very enjoyable smoke and i would recommend it.i think a more experienced smoker would not be to impressed,but a new to sort of new smoker should really enjoy it.

This is one of my go-to smokes. Nice flavor, with a spicy, creamy finish. I can't say enough about this cigar. Pick one up. You'll be glad you did.

Cap came off neatly, but it was the draw was exceedingly tight and I couldn't get a good mouth-full of smoke. I clipped a bit more off the tip and the smoke gradually came. This is the second of this size I've smoked, and to sum my fellings up, I'll say I like them. Nothing spectacular, but these things can certainly be had for about $2 per stick! At that sort of price, they are an absolute bargain. They start out unusually sweet--almost too sweet! Soon after they settle down. Earth and dark chocolate dominate, as one would expect from a double maduro. I had some burn issues even after solving the initial tight draw, but nothing too horrible. I highly recommend this as a smooth, relaxing medium-bodied double maduro that won't smack you in the face with nicotine or kill the wallet!

nice dark wrapper. bought two singles and had cap problems with both,jumped right off when cut. from the same box, so may be just an isolated problem. earthy at the start. coffee flavor mid way. slight grassy flavor throughout. darker than average ash with minor flaking.

definatly a good cigar for the cheap price of $3.00. Pretty smooth taste, burned well, and lasted decently long for the length. In a pinch, would buy again.

I really like this cigar, I got this as part of their sampler. It's got a lot of spice, with a very earthy taste. this is by far my favorite from sancho panza. this cigar has great construction, and burns great, i will buy often

Nice medium body with strong coffee and cocoa flavors pretty straight forward not much complexity. Doesn't get hot like most coronas I smoke. A major problem I have been having throughout the box is the wrapper is unwrapping after the cut. I have tried a punch, v-cut, and plain old clip. When I get one that doesn't unwrap I would give it a solid 8.

I wasn't expecting much but WOW!! Looks great, lots of smoke, burned straight and clean, and when ashed the cherry matched the burn line. Consistant from start to finish except the begining 1/2" and the last 1/2" (additional spiciness). I had to poor a little more JW "Gold" to cool my fingertips. One of the best constructed cigars I've had the pleasure of smoking. Hints of Cuban coffee, expresso, and chocolate. When I buy my second humi this will be a staple. DC if you read this you have to buy some!!!!!

I tried on of these after my local shop ran out of the cigar I was going to smoke this weekend. Well, let's just say its one of the best out there. Don't let the $3 price tag fool you. The last reviewer hit it right on the head. It starts out spicy, then smoothes out into a chocolate/cocoa flavor, then in the last inch it gets spicy again. Didn't expect all this from a $3 cigar. I'd rate it on the medium side. Would be great for an everyday cigar. I think with a little time in the humi this cigar would be all world.

Good cigar. Well made. Dark uniform wrapper. Box pressed. Easy draw, but not loose. Even burn. Fairly tight, long, light gray ash. Plenty of bluish white smoke. Taste and aroma is predominately strong coffee and spice with an ocassional hint of cocoa and cedar. For me, a good value, every day, anytime, cigar. Recommended, especially if you like them a little on the strong side.

Found this to be a stronger cigar than many of the prior reviewers suggest. Fair amt of spice at the beginning and the end with notes of coffee. Taste was good for most of the cigar, but not complex. Burned nicely. No real complaints about this - no real raves either.

I got almost 3 1/2 inches of ash on this sucker before it fell off. It was cool! This cigar is pretty mild, kind of bitter at parts and at the end burned relatively hot. However, for the pirce you'd be hard pressed to find a better smoke out there. Wonderful squared off body, nice tight roll, perfect draw. A winner.

Tried my first SPDM last week, and I am going to buy a box to have them around for anytime smokes. Pretty full-bodied, with a perfect burn and good aftertaste. Nice cigar for any occassion.

The dbl maduro is a bit spicier and fuller-bodied than the regular line. It burned perfectly, and was enjoyable past the band. There was a chocolate-coffee-spice flavor that lasted on the tongue briefly. At $3 a piece, this is at the upper end of my "everyday smoke" range, but worth it.

I liked this cigar a lot. As a matter of fact I will probably buy a box of these. The box pressed cigar was very nice. The wrapper was gorgeous, the draw was absolutely perfect. I mean perfect. VERY great value for this cigar. I've tried some other Sancho Panza cigars and didn't care too much for them...the flavor of this is very, very nice. This would be a great cigar for a new smoker, also.

well constructed cigar. burns well but could do better with a bit more flavor to it

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this relatively inexpensive cigar. It was smooth and mellow, a good flavor but not at all strong. A good one to keep around for any occasion.

This is a cigar for the humidor. Keep enough on stock so when you want a good, steady, simple smoke it's there. Overall it's mild, smooth, just enough flavor--and a super consistent burn. Great construction--great draw. I didn't notice anything special about the taste other than it's mild and same start to finish. Like a great pair of broken in jeans--the first you grab on Saturdays--this is a cigar you'll want to grab when you don't feel like taking chances. Every one I've smoked has been the same experience. Highly recommend as a stable smoke.

This is a good everyday smoke. Nothing unsatisfactory, but not spectacular. I was surprised by the mildness.

This cigar provide plenty of smoke and a good ash, but the flavor was average and milder than other SP maduros. Still a good smoke for the price and worth another try.

good little cigar. construction was good, taste was good, and price was great. everyday cigar, but dont expect anything spectacular

This cigar was a suprise. It smoked even, nice ash, and had a earthy moderate flavor. I smoked a box and did not find an single bad one. I ordered more and cant wait.

Small, unremarkable cigar with a deep dark wrapper with minor imperfections. Even burn with a flaky ash. One-dimensional earthy/coffee flavor that is consistent throughout. Burned hot. Not again.
