Origin and Basics

These are Cuban cigars from SwissCubanCigars. The origin is Cuba, in Lonsdale (cervantes) format, sized 165 x 16.67 mm (6.4 x 42), with a ring of 42, weight of 10.8 g, and box code PAR JUL 02. They are hand - made, and a box of 25 costs around $200.

Appearance

The Sancho Panza Molinos has a classic Cuban look with a slightly outdated but attractive band and a colorado brown wrapper having 2 - 3 prominent veins. Pre - draw reveals wood and coffee aromas.

Construction

Relatively good. Out of a dozen smoked, only one had a tight draw. There were no major burn problems, and recent production is said to have top - notch construction.

Flavor

• One third: Lights easily and immediately delivers mushroom and cedary flavors.
• Two thirds: Coupled with strong mocca notes.
• Three thirds: Medium - bodied and well - balanced. The smoke is gentle with a lot of white pepper until the end.

Value

Under $10 per stick, it offers good value compared to other Cuban lonsdales.

Sancho Panza is an old Cuban brand created in 1852, with a product line of less than 10 cigars. Some are average, while Molinos is on par with major producers. The overall quality has increased in recent years.
