Sancho Panza Double Maduro - Cervantes

Another standby cigar for me. I think it is also noob friendly due to the smooth sweet flavor profile it has.
I enjoy it so much, I always have at least a box resting in the cooler. The cigar I'm smoking for this review is fairly fresh.

The cigar:

Sancho Panza Double Maduro

Size: 6.5 x 48
Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf
Binder: Connecticut Shade
Filler: Honduras/Nicaragua/Dominican Republic
Price: $58 for a box of 20.

Pre-Light:
Firm and tightly packed. Box pressed. Clean, well made cigar with minor veins. The foot has a barnyard with a little pepper.
Firm draw but I suspect due to the freshness (I recv'd them 2 weeks ago from an order).

I will be enjoying (I hope) this cigar with a Tripel beer (Watou Tripel - St. Bernadus).

First Third:
Such a sweet maduro flavor! Even with the first few puffs, the sweetness coats my mouth.
This cigar is a little (over) humidified which most likely explains the firm draw but doesn't really affect the smoking experience.
Slight pepper aftertaste with a hint of wood/cedar. Sweet molasses coming in which really compliments the tripel beer I'm drinking.

Second Third:
The woodsy/molasses flavor still coming into the front. Slight pepper and cedar in the background. Same flavors which I am enjoying.

Last Third:

A little harshness coming in but it's not too bad. Cedar coming in more to the front with the sweetness slowly going away but not totally going away.
Good tobacco flavors!

Conclusion:
Another good smoke for the price. It is as complex or intense as some other well known cigars?
No, but sitting here watching the pre-game show for the Man United vs QPR with a good beer, it's a damn good combo. Life is good.
