" I am a little bit surprised that no one has left a review of this cigar as of yet. I have smoked many of them over the years and it is still one of my favourites if not “the” favourite Cuban stick (it is with cigars as it is with women and wine – you can never truly tell which one is the best of the best – and if you keep drinking the same wine all the time it will eventually become a bit boring).

I also always find it hard to put words on cigars and wines in order to exactly describe the taste since for some one else the feel of the taste will be different. But if you believe in Paradise of the spirit world, which I certainly don’t, I can tell you that this cigar on the right occasion smoked under the right conditions (your mood, temperature in the room, preferable no wind and other things to distract you such as, kids, dogs or women) can taste like Paradise on this earth!

Yeah, go figure, this cigar is not for the fainted hearted!

This is the first time I buy these babies from Richard and it struck me that the ring gauge has increased on this Sancho since I last smoked one???!!! Or maybe the cigar is just playing with my mind?!

And here is a little rumour for all you Aficionados. It is said that this Sancho Panza Corona Gigantes is the favourite smoke of no one else than Francis Ford Coppola himself – the Godfather of cinema. I must say that I find this story much more interesting than what used to be Mr. Churchill’s favourite cigar since I too find the Sancho Panza to be Paradise to my palates.
