Pancho Villa Cigar is Truly a Shot in the Dark

The annual IPCPR gathering gives very good exposure to new brands and product introductions. At the 2014 IPCPR in Las Vegas, USA Sales inc. had a booth and introduced several new cigars, one of which is a 6.5 X 52 torpedo called Pancho Villa. This cigar has Dominican filler and binder wrapped by Ecuadorian Connecticut tobacco. I was given the Pancho Villa to review.

The Pancho was firm, average in both appearance and construction. The smoke volume was at a suitable level and the taste included coffee and cocoa. The aftertaste was mild and slightly sweet. The draw was a little difficult and the ash was even and of good color. The cigar ended in 1 hour with notes of pepper. I consider the Pancho Villa to be mild to medium bodied and represents decent value at $5.00 SRP.  I rate this cigar a 3 out of 5.
