"Good Looking, Tastee Cigar"
Lit one right out the 5-pack package, little hard to draw, didn't stay lit too well, but good taste. Like most cigars, they seem to need a week or two in the Humi to burn right. I don't know if it's just the type of cigars I buy or what, but they seem to taste the best right out of the box or package, not after weeks in the humidor. So Sancho gets a 9 from me.

"great cigar but the laquered box stinks"
At first the smell of the laquer/wood stain was overpowering and I expected the cigars to be ruined. They weren't however, but remained in a humidor for months just in case. These smoke as well as the Cubans did and never dissapoint.Price isnt a problem with me, but these are so cheap my Siamese cat could smoke them too.

"This one got me started smoking cigars."
Smooth and delicious, these got me hooked on good cigars. I always keep a box on hand for friends and when I want a lighter smoke. They are a simple smoke without the spice of stronger cigars, but are so delicious that I smoke them down to the nub. BUT...the box they come in stinks of polyurethane and I recommend taking the cigars out ASAP. The cigars are wrapped in cello and this saves them from contamination. Plus, the cigars improve greatly after a few months in the humidor.

"Nice cigar - but the box smelt very strongly."
great cigar but the smell of fresh wood stain on the box was so strong i threw it away. how the cigars are not ruined will remain to be seen.

"Improves with time in the humidor..."
I bought these cigars because of the cost and the ratings. I don't have one complaint, though. They smoke wonderful right out of the box, but they round out nicely in the humidor. They taste great, though, not as strong as I would like. They work great as hand-out cigars that don't hurt the pocket. I would highly recommend these babies.

"Fantastic well-balanced smoke!!!"
I have been smoking premium cigars for 2 1/2 years now and this is one of my absolute favorites. I just finished a box and every cigar burned consistently with a spicy, nutty finish. I like a good medium bodied cigar that's not overpowering but not too mild-- and this is a great selection for that preference.

"VERY good everyday cigar"
The SP Caballero must certainly be one of the very best in its' price range. To be fair, I rarely find a non-Maduro cigar I am willing to buy/smoke more than one of - but the Caballero is definitely a keeper. Only criticism I can make after a box of them is that I came across two that drew less-than-nicely and one of those also became sour at about the half-way mark - and that is unusual (in my experience) for Sancho Panzas of any stripe.
The Caballeros taste GOOD but, again, I say that in spite of my definite personal preference for SP's Double Maduros. The Caballero is EASILY worth the sticker price, which is surprisingly modest in itself.

"Best for the buck"
There is no better cigar for the money in terms of consistency, quality, and smooth flavor. No other cigar is a better value. And I've smoked thousands of cigars. Nuff said.
