Sancho Panza Ducales 1980s

In the 1980s, the then Cubatabaco (the predecessor of Habanos SA) obtained special permission from the Spanish tobacco wholesaler Tabacalera (now known as Altadis) to produce an exclusive version of the Sancho Panza brand on the Spanish island of Tenerife. These cigars are all hand-rolled using 100% Cuban tobacco and include three different models: Ducales, Escuderos, and Hidalgos. The cigar bands are noticeably different from the existing Sancho Panza.
