BeneathThe Band: Sancho Panza Belicoso

[El Presidente]

This series seeks to explore whether a particular cigar is humidor worthy.

Cost these days is an issue for many so let's see if we can highlight some absolute standouts.  This should particularly assist those new to the cigar world.  

To be fair, most of the cigars we have featured to date have scored exceptionally well. Surprisingly well! 

Scoring is: 1-3 (Poor)   4-6 (Average to good)   7-10  (very good to excellent)  Use the Poll.

Now I love a Belicoso and the Sancho Panza is no exception. However, not all members feel the same. Which way do you swing? 

Today: Sancho Panza Belicoso

Outside of the poll, which do you prefer and why? Let us know in this thread

By comparison, the Sancho Panza Non Plus is/was well-known for being inconsistent in its blend and smoking. (I say 'is/was' because that cigar is officially discontinued but it keeps getting unannounced 'runs' of production.) I can't say that I've ever smoked a Sancho Panza Belicosos that was bland or lifeless. I'm delighted it's still around.

One of my early favorites and still one I reach for often. I find it quite unique among Cuban Belicosos. A truly great cigar.

The Belicosos makes me think of creamy salt and must have in my humidor.

I'm a fan,  it's on my list of "desert island" cigar(s)! 😚💨
