Review Notes: Wow what a great experience this was. My Sunday morning selection to go with my cup o' joe. Looks have never been a problem but construction has. Not this time. The burn was perfectly straight with no relights and the ash held until I was ready to tap it off and the cone left behind was perfectly shaped and cherry red. The initial charcoal taste quickly faded and the flavor evolved offering cocoa, coffee, with notes of sweetness and a certain sharpness at times. Not for the evening unless you are a mild cigar fan.

Review Notes: this cigar tasted like A$$, I smoked it all the way through anyway and I regret that more than anything else.

Review Notes: Scored a box for $40, the Lancero is 5.25 x 54. 60 days rest and the flavors of semi-sweet chocolate, steel and coffee are more prominent and smoother. Needed two touch ups otherwise a good burn and draw. A good cigar.

Review Notes: Weird name for a short fat cigar. I am rating the Lancero (5.25x54) here because this is the closest size to it. Nice smoke right out of the box. Burns great, but can get hot if puffed too fast. Looks like one of those big fat Tootsie Rolls. The wrapper dark, rough wrapper houses a well made box pressed barrel of tobacco. Medium body with sufficient spice and good maddie flavors. I think this will be a good one down the road.

Review Notes: the first friday of every month at the local shop is free cigar day. You buy at least one cigar and you get the freebie smoke of the day, well a few months ago it was the sancho panza, I was interested because they usually don't give away a $5 stick, so I made my purchase and scored the freebie. Later that day a buddy of mine said he got one as well, smoked it, and threw half of it away. So, I put it in my humidor and a let it sit for a 3 months, hoping it would help it out. It did not. From the moment I cut it the misery began. The wrapper which didn't look so good anyway, started to unravel a bit, but it was still smokeable. It lit well, had a solid ash, but burned unevenly. It started out with virtually no taste, so, I gave it a bit of time. After about 30 minutes, the taste still had not arrived, so I gave up, and chucked it. It didn't taste bad, it just didn't taste at all.
