That Sancho Panza is a great Stick...One of my favs. And just like others here at CS have said you cant beat the price for what you get.

Got my sticks from Durrani today...Review to fallow soon... Thanks again for all the trouble in getting them to me Durrani.

Ok Guys here is the review of stick #1. Let me start by saying, WHAT A GREAT AND ENJOYABLE SMOKE!!! From start to finish I really enjoyed this stick! This was a square pressed maduro. Before toasting it, I took this one in. It smelled sweet and fresh. I nubbed on this one for about10 mins before I lit it. It lit well and burned evenly from start to finish. I was amazed to see the ash was a dark gray. I find that usually with a cigar that burns this well the ash will be a bright white color. I was able to get some length from it before I tapped it for the first time. Every draw was a delight! This one started and finished mild. The flavor was full bodied but not overpowering. I smoked this one down to the point I was burning my fingers. The smoke that was produced from start to finish was thick and white. The bouquet this stick was giving off was also very enjoyable. My wife even made a comment about it and asked what I was smoking. My answer was, “I don’t know…But I LIKE IT A LOT.

Next stick will be reviewed in the days to come.

Hey there fellows, SHHH Dont tell anyone

but Sancho Panza was going to be my first guess. That or a Santa Clara Havana Reserve...I'll give my input when I post stick #2s review.

Ok…Review # 2 of the sticks I got from BDurrani. Well I should start by saying, stick #2 was a let down after having #1. Stick #2 was very squishy to the touch and had a bitter smell to it. After lighting this the first few draws were nice and mild. It burned uneven through out the smoke; this aspect was forcing me to tap the ash a lot more then I wanted to. Half way through the taste turned to a bitter sour and progressively became more and more harsh. I can tell when I’m not going to like a stick when it makes me want to spit after every draw. I was a spitting fool with this one… I had a hard time keeping this one lit. If there is one good thing I can say about this stick, I would say I really enjoyed the bouquet she gave off but that’s about it.

My feelings are that #1 is the more expensive smoke. Its construction and taste were far more superior to that of #2. I’m even going to go out on a limb here and say that I think #1 is a Sancho Panza or Santa Clara Havana Reserve. # 2 tasted like a Mexican stick.

Lastley I wanted to thank BDurrani for giving me this opportunity. Also thanks for your time in getting these sticks out to me.

Any time.

As for your guesses, you are correct. Cigar #1 is more expensive, but isn't a Sancho Panza or Santa Clara (never had either of them). Good job on the reviews.

Cigar #1 - Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 - $7.00
Cigar #2 - Perdomo Sumatra - $3.00
