I've a hankering for a Sancho Panza

I loved these, but they aren't stocked by the local shops, so this'll have to be ordered off the internet.
On Smoking Pipes website there is a notice that Sancho has been bought out by STI, so I'm curious if they've changed with the ownership.
Have any Sancho-istas here noticed any difference?

You're talking about a cigar, right?

Yeah. They redid the blends a couple of years ago. Decent. Not great. .

But I always liked the character Sancho Panza--decent, gentlemanly, and far more noble than Don Quixote. Hov in a nutshell and that's a compliment!

It was his mention of an STI that threw me.

I ordered three Sancho Panza. We'll see. I also got a tin of Squadron Commander.
