    Won these in the C.Gars Vintage Auction

    Put in a bid over the net for these and won!

    They are 1997 Sancho Panza Sanchos and they are the biggest cigars I've ever seen!!! One picture shows one next to a Monte No.4 to give an idea of the size.

    Didn't manage to look at them before I bid, but happily they seem in good condition - just one of them has a slightly cracked foot.

    Congratulations, maybe not a short winter smoke lol. When do you plan on breaking the first one in?

      Oh good man. I have a box from 2001 and love them as an alternate smoke once in a while. I love the salty unique flavours from a good Sancho Panza. The Belicoso is also damn well worth trying when they have a few years on them.

          Hang on. I just looked back at the auction catalogue. Lot 48 is a box of ten Sanchos from 99, is that the one you won? All the other Sanchos listed are from 97 and are in boxes of 25, or so it claims. I am very confused, I never thought this came as a box of 25!

            Correct that error was corrected at auction. Although, I have seen once in my life a box of corona gigantes in 25s. Very weird.

              Ha ha!! A short winter smoke they are not. I think they'll be a special occasion smoke when I really have the time to savour and enjoy them.

              Big T they are lot 224, and no they didn't come in boxes of 25, that was just a misprint on the catalogue. I was reminded of this by Mitch before the bid went through so I was under no illusions!

              I've heard these need 10-15 years on them before they really start to come good, so hopefully they're about ready now

                Congrats Monkey nuts, I hope you find the time & the place to enjoy them. Interested to know how you get on with them, I found them a very poor second to the Monte A. And two hrs is a long smoke if you're not really getting much from it. Love the SP Belicosis though.

                          Smoked one in the summer and loved it. Bought from Davidoff's, where they still have plenty at a good price.
