Sancho Panza Non Plus

The Sancho Panza Non Plus is a classic Cuban cigar known for its mild strength and traditional flavors. It is one of the oldest vitolas in the Sancho Panza lineup, with a history dating back to the 19th century.

Key Details:

• Vitola: Cervantes (also known as “Lonsdale”)

• Length: 165 mm (6.5 inches)

• Ring Gauge: 42

• Factory Name: Cervantes

• Strength: Mild (one of the mildest Cuban cigars)

• Flavor Profile: Smooth, creamy, with notes of cedar, nuts, hay, and a subtle sweetness.

• Box Code: Traditionally sold in slatted wooden boxes of 25.

Background:

• The Non Plus was once one of the most popular cigars in Cuba but saw a decline in production in the late 20th century.

• It was discontinued in 2006, making it a rare find today. However, some vintage boxes may still be available in collectors’ markets.

• The name “Non Plus” (Latin for “no more”) suggests it was considered the pinnacle of the Sancho Panza brand at its peak.

Comparison to Other Sancho Panza Cigars:

• Sancho Panza Belicosos (Campana, 52 RG) – Fuller-bodied, richer flavors.

• Sancho Panza Molino (a smaller, discontinued format) – Even milder than Non Plus.

• Sancho Panza La Punta (a petit corona) – More compact but similar mild profile.

Availability & Rarity:

• Since its discontinuation, the Non Plus is highly sought after by collectors and fans of mild cigars.

• If you find a well-aged box (pre-2006), it can offer an exceptionally smooth and refined smoking experience.
