Like other great Habano brands such as Montecristo and Romeo y Julieta, Sancho Panza takes its name from a masterpiece of world literature.
In Don Quixote, the famous 17th Century Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes, it was Sancho Panza who served the errant knoght as his faithful squire. His name was first used for a Habanos in 1848 and since then it has enjoyed a reputation for quality amongst discerning smokers.
