Well, here goes - my first review of a cigar. I just smoked one of these tasty cigars and really, really enjoyed it!
Cigar: Sancho Panza Double Maduro (Quixote)
Ring Gauge: 50
Length: 4.5
Wrapper: very dark Connecticut
It was very well made with no cracks and no large veins in its dark, almost oily wrapper. The cigar was firm from head to foot - no soft spots anywhere. The feel of the wrapper was almost silky.
When I cut it I mis-aimed with my double blade cutter and cut just barely past the cap - the wrapper slightly peeled up (about 1/8 inch) but it stayed in place once I started smoking.
It burrned very nicely and never needed touching up. The ash was dense and white when I ashed it at 1.5 inches.
The draw was perfect. I smoked it in just under an hour while sitting outside talking with my wife.
It was a medium-bodied cigar that gave off nice dense clouds of smoke. I would describe the flavors of this cigar like this: earthy, slightly oily, a bit of leather, and occasional hints of something sweet. The aftertaste was a strong hint of sweetness and a bit of tobacco - very nice.
At around $2 per stick (online at Holt's) this just became my favorite smoke. :ss
