Name: Arturo Fuente Rothschild Maduro
Country: Dominican Republic
Shape: Parejo
Size: (4 1/2 inches x 50)
Strength: Medium

There was a sweetness to it. I got interesting notes of coffee, caramel, and dried red fruits. I paired it with a bourbon, and it was a success.

The Arturo Fuente Rothschild Maduro is a small cigar, so it cannot be the MVP of any outing, except if one makes it his morning cigar. It should pair well with all sorts of coffee drinks.

When I smoked it, it was my second and last cigar of the night. So, I’d say it’s a good concluding cigar. Now I know what to do when I’m low on time but still feel like a good cigar.

Name: Sancho Panza Double Maduro Gigante
Country: Honduras
Shape: Parejo
Size: Gordo (6 inches x 60)
Strength: Medium to Full

The Sancho Panza Double Maduro Gigante isn’t a good-looking cigar. I do not like the black band and the gold font. It makes it look cheap. However, as the saying goes, it’s not the looks but the personality that matters. The Sancho Panza Double Maduro is a strong, aromatic cigar with strong notes of earth, oak, green pepper, and tea.

I smoked one at the lounge the other day, paired with espresso and sparkling water, and enjoyed the overall experience.

It burned quite evenly, and it had a good draw, but I expected much more smoke to come out of it. Although I was smoking a Double Toro, the smoke my cigar produced was the smoke of a Robusto or a Corona-sized stick.

The cigar lasted for about 90 minutes. And if I had to give it a rating, I’d give it an 85/100.
