Less costly alternative cigar

[ggiese]

The first time i smoke a Sancho Panza i didn't like it.
But over time i smoked a few more and developed a taste for them.

The Sancho Panza double maduro is now one of my faverit cigar.

Dollar for dollar - hands down - the best double maduro I've smoked. Unlike other lines that "gimic" the double maduro, SP just quietly produces them and (in my opinion) keeps the cost down by not over hyping them....

Double Maduro ??? I though that was just the "name" they put to thier wrapper. Do they infact use a maduro binder? I was under the assumption that was the gimmicky name for a very dark maduro wrapper.
I may be wrong! As I have been many times in the past

Well... The wrapper is an "Extra-dark Connecticut broadleaf" which General Cigar Cigar claims is "hand-selected for their rich, oily quality and aged four years before rolling". And - the Connecticut shade binder "is cured to a maduro color, also aged four years, for a richer, sweeter, and smoother smoke".

So I take that as Maduro wrapper and a Maduro binder equal "Double Maduro".

All I know - it's "mmmm, mmmm, good!!!"

IIRC, along those same lines the Cusano 18 Paired Maduro is another "true" double maduro but it was CT Broadleaf and Brazillian....can't remember for sure which was wrapper and which was the binder and I'm too damn lazy to look it up.
