Sancho Panza Belicosos

HISTORY

Like other great Havana brands such as Montecristo and Romeo y Julieta, Sancho Panza takes its name from a masterpiece of world literature.

In Don Quixote, the famous 17th-century Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes, it was Sancho Panza who served the errant knight as his faithful squire. His name was first used for a Havana in 1848, and since then it has enjoyed a reputation for quality amongst discerning smokers.

Rolled with a medium-bodied blend of filler and binder tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo zone, all sizes are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.

A rare, medium-bodied Belicoso that merits searching out. A very classy member of the Campana family.

TASTING NOTES

This classic Belicoso offers a smooth, medium-bodied smoke that features notes of cedar, toasted nuts, creamy vanilla, and a distinctive minerality.

It is perfectly paired with a crisp, cold drink such as a high-quality Dry Champagne or a clean, smooth Aged White Rum.
