"I love this cigar for all the wrong reasons."
This is everything I do not like in a cigar. It's full-bodied, and I prefer mild to medium. It's a maduro and I find maduros bitter and harsh. It's a Rothchilde, and I'm not into fat cigars -- much prefer a Corona or some such.
So I find it odd that I gave this cigar overall better than any other I've rated. It's not bitter at all, it burns and draws extremely well, and it's the mildest, smoothest full-body I've ever smoked. All of that plus the amazing price makes this a definite stockpile stick. Try a five-pack, and if you're like me you won't hesitate to come back for a box!

"Mixed review"
Well first off it's a good cigar for the money. My favorites are the Partegas Black and Casa Torano Maduro and Camacho Triple Maduro but they are just too expensive if you smoke 4 or 5 a day. While this cigar does not rank even close to any of those, as a 2 dollar stick it is smokable. It starts out with very little taste for the first third then builds to a pretty decent maduro toastieness in the middle. It builds in flavor for the last half to about a mild medium flavored smoke and ends just a bit bitter. But it's cheap and overall smokable as a cheap everyday alternative.

"Surprise"
Is it any surprise this cigar is as good in taste as some of the more expensive Padrons(Estelo Padron is involved with this cigar)? The real surprise is how good they are at the price.At one buck eighty per Quixote per box price,this has got to be the best deal on the maduro cigar smokers planet. The ONLY fault I can find is that the burn is not as good as the Padron or Trinidad...Yeah,for my money I can live with that and quite well,thank-you very much! If you like maduros,good maduros,if you like Padrons and Trini's,ya just gotta give Sancho a nod. I do not think for the money spent that you will be seriously disappointed.

"This is my always reliable "go to" cigar"
I always like to buy a few of anything in onesies & twosies before committing to a box purchase. Fortunately, I found some Sancho Panza Quixotes at a cigar shop a few miles out of town, which has since become my regular stogie stop.
I've now smoked maybe 50 or 60 of these & have found them to be consistently flavorful, well constructed & they go great with decent single malt scotch whiskey! I've paid a LOT more for a lot LESS! Since I can't afford to smoke Perdomo Habanas all the time... the Sancho Panza Quixotes have become my daily "go to" cigar.

"occasional cigar smoker"
I bought one just to try a darker cigar and left it in my small humidor for about 4 months or so (during the time it did get a little over humidified but nothing over 74-75*). when i finally got a chance to smoke it the smell of the cigar before it was lit had mellowed a lot. the oily feel that the cigar had originally had lessened to a more tolerable feel for smoking (out of the wrapper it feels very oily and leaves a noticeable feel of oil on your hands from just touching the stick).
when i finally came around to smoking this cigar i had smoked a few other cigars that day but most of the other ones were lighter and even milder. the first thing i noticed when i lit up this cigar was the creamy/smooth/sweeter flavor compared to any other cigar i had ever gotten to try. it was very windy out but the aroma it gave off was much sweeter than other cigars as well.
this is the first brand of cigar i have gone back and bought more than 1 or 2 of a stick (just accidentally bout a different size because i forgot to note which size i had before i smoked it but i expect good results from the ones i am not aging). totally recommend this cigar.
