Review #10:

Man! Just finished one of these AWESOME cigars from a box from mid 2003. What a unbelievable suprise! Nutty, salty, some sweet cocoa, coffee. SUPERB!! I only ashed it 3 times TOTAL!!! The wonderful taste still lingers as I write this. For only a 2003, this stick already has some serious refinement. It was powerful, but controlled the entire way with flavors abound and lots of the old school habano twang. Burned my fingers. This stick has my ultimate respect. Nothing but superlatives come to mind. My highest recommendation. If you like to smoke super premium Habanos, try this stick if you haven't yet. It is well worth it. It lasted about an hour and a half, never got hot, maintained a perfect draw and the flavors came through easily with great, yet never reckless power. Probably the best smoke I have had in a long time. Very enjoyable and satisfying. Go Don Quiote!!! - Submitted by Jimbo on March 21, 2007

I got a few boxes which thankfully well aged from Apr 03. What an outstanding cigar. Strong, sweet and salty, but very intoxicating. It's hard to compare to any other habano than the Cohiba Esplendido, also if well aged. It's in my top five. Get as many as you can. Truly exceptional. - Submitted by peprdo on March 3, 2007

Review #8:

A friend passed me an aged sample from 1997, EMS. Started off with a deep woodiness and salty-sweet tang, like salted caramel. Further in, a mild grassy sweetness developed, together with a subtle herbal note and a pleasantly tannic finish. This is a cigar with intense flavours but remains well-balanced in strength and extremely elegant. Near perfection. - Submitted by The Privateer on January 23, 2006

Im gonna go out on a limb as Gordon (reviewer #6) is a novelist. I will say this a smooth cigar that was enjoyable. Not amazing by any accord but mild to medium with decent flavors and a superb draw. Happy smoking. - Submitted by mprach on April 7, 2005

Review #6:

I don't know how good my review of this cigar is going to be but here goes. I've been smoking cigars for about 8 years now but haven't tried very many brands, in all honesty have only smoked the R&J Churchills for silly sentimental reasons (My uncle smoked them and I always associated quality with them). But then I bought a horrible batch of R&J Churchills in 2002 (I understand they had some production “issues” in that year), and was tempted to try something new. Okay, I will admit now that I am a sucker for branding but I saw the Sancho Panza brand and thought back to Don-Quixote de la Mancha, the mad knight who sought to impose his will on a world that thought him mad (not everyone’s interpretation but this is MY impression). Now that kind of madness I can relate to as a megalomaniac/dreamer/evil genius in training. The emotions it stirred made me have to try it, so I ordered a box of the Sanchos and left it in my humidor to age a little. Being eager to try the Sancho Panza brand, I went to a cigar bar in Soho (London) and ordered the Coronas Gigantes. The cigar arrived with my whiskey, I inspected it; very good construction. Actualy it reminded my of my old R&J churchills except in my mind this was a slightly lighter colour. The smell was nice, woody and leathery tones tickled my nostrils. This was promising… I let the waiter cut the cigar for me before I anointed the freshly cut end with a drop of my whiskey from my finger (yes look at my funnily, another habit I have had since I started smoking cigars) and fired up the cigar. My squire was all ready to ride along once again with this mad knight. Of course on the surface I made polite conversation with my friends, but at the back of my mind, I was the mad knight and this cigar was my faithful squire pandering to my delusions of grandeur. A very smooth and mild smoke with flavour (if that makes sense) in the first third, in the second third it really comes alive with thicker smoke and woodier tones and hints of coffee (okay I might be off the mark here but that’s what I thought I tasted). Surprisingly the final third wasn’t rough, in fact still very smooth. Made it to the last inch before time forced me to lay my faithful squire down to rest, thanked him for the flight of fantasy and finished my whiskey. In summary, even though R&J have fixed their issues with their Churchills I don’t know if I will go back to them. I think I have found my true brand, something that means something to me (yes, I DID say I was a sucker for marketing). These are GOOD cigars, I know many people will tell me I don’t know what I am talking about, and maybe I don’t, BUT wasn’t that the point of Don Quixote? Let the squire take you for an adventure… … - Submitted by Gordon on February 15, 2005
