ABR DIC 11 Sancho Panza Molinos


Recommended Posts

I Purchased this box to smoke while listening to the second half of the Don Quixote audiobook. (in case you don't know, half way is about 22 1/2 hours of read time) 

 

Here are my notes from tonight:

1/3:
Sweet tobacco
Dry earth (infertile soil)
Salt
Citrus and meat on retrohale
Leather
White pepper
Leather
Thin salty smoke, but good production
Clove
Chewy pipe tobacco (as close as I can describe the sweet leather/tobacco/bread quality)
Not much change in the first 1/3 but reasonably complex
Bitter caramel
Over 1 1/4” ash before falling (fell on me)
Soy sauce
Bitterness on lips
Outside of fignuton
 
2/3: (to dark for photos now)
Subtle bitterness starts to develop in mouth
Salty leather
Great sweet smoke followed by the bitter salt quality
Some subtle fruit quality coming out
Fig?
Very bitter lips
Sweetness and bitterness increasing
 
3/3: 
Sweet, salted plum
Bitter chocolate
Still salty leather
 
 
Really interesting cigar. It has so much sweet smoke that the intensely bitter/salty/savory aftertaste is balanced out. This really feels like it encompasses the feeling of the book, one crazy man and one fools misadventures through Spain. Tastes like leather strap, infertile land, and ocean air. (but in a good way?) 
 
also, how did y'all get me on Orange juice. this is so weird but I agree, works amazingly well with cigars. 
 
Thanks for reading!

Thanks for reviewing one of my favourites. I have still a couple of boxes of these and your description is spot on with mine (minus the pairing with orange juice which I have never tried!).

All the best,

Michel
