Aloha Fellers,

Has anyone ever tried these beauties? What a fantastic & different smoke. Excellent construction, great even draw & burn.

the flavor profiles were very sweet, mild spice/pepper notes during the first third, but then began to mellow out afterwards. Hints of cedar thoughout. the sweetness almost reminded me of like, sweet, almost cake-like flavors, could not quite pin point it, but it was def. sugary/cakeish. Also had some herbal/tea hints as well. a very different smoke.

anyhow, i smoked my fifth one last night and all of them had the same consistency. they begin a little harsh on the nose at first, but begin to mellow out as the stick begins to open up.

My concern, asi made a post yesterday on "CIGAR BLEEDING", a couple of folks stated that some cigar makers actually inject their smokes with dyes, flavors, etc. does anyone know if this is a practice of the Sancho Panza Non-Cuban branch? just curious because the flavors in this smoke were rather different.

thanks for reading muchachos. thoughts?

Yeah, I've smoked Dulcinea. Mild and nice, good for price. Experienced good draw, but uneven burn, canoeing at the end. Didn't think it's fantastic like you did, but quite good.

I don't think they use any dyes or flavoring in this line. Didn't feellike that. And then this is not maduro, or so I remember. I hear dyes are used to "make" maduros.

Canoeing really vexes me!!!!!!!

the reason i asked about possible flavor enhancements is because i have not tasted that particular profile in any cigar. its different but very unique. ITs not a 90+ smoke, but a def. humi stuffer imho.

Interesting....haven't seen this smoke out anywhere. I really love the Double Maduros from Sancho Panza and have been close to buying a box a few times because the price is so good. What do these cigars go for?

Cedar Strip,

these are actually somewhat cheap. i just bought a few more of these butes for about $3 a pop. i think. regardless, there are very moderately priced.

$3 a pop! I paid like $9 in my local B&M. But then they sell only dog rockets for less than that...

Ah, I now feel 48.33% better So I paid just 2x more, not 3x.
For dog rockets, seriuosly, the B&Ms here offer no decent cigar for less than $8-9. Well, with exception of a few good cigarillos.

Need to take a look around...I'm pretty sure I've tried all the Sancho Panza's at the local shop. Hopefully I just overlooked these.
