Today, the brand is one of the most respected names in the Habanos world and was at times even the most popular cigar in Spain. Sancho Panza cigars are among the oldest Cuban cigar brands and were founded in Havana as early as 1848.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What are Sancho Panza cigars?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sancho Panza cigars are a traditional Cuban brand, founded in 1848 by the German Emilio Ohmstedt. Along with El Rey del Mundo, the brand was created in a small factory at 48 Calle Angeles in Havana. Today, Sancho Panza cigars enjoy an excellent reputation worldwide among experienced aficionados.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"832\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/OOC-Sancho-Panza-2-Angeles-1.jpg\" alt=\"Emilio Ohmstedt produced Sancho Panza brand cigars from 1848 in a small manufactory on Calle Angeles in Havana&#039;s Centro Habana district.

Although Sancho Panza was founded way back in 1848, it took almost 100 years for the brand to achieve lasting success. Several changes of ownership, economic difficulties, and even production stoppages marked the early decades. The brand's real rise only began from 1930 onwards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Classification in the Habanos world<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sancho Panza is today one of Cuba's most traditional brands. In the 1950s, it was Spain's most popular cigar. Along with El Rey del Mundo, these cigars were among the most expensive in the world at the time. Today, the brand is particularly known for its Belicosos and is regularly selected for Ediciones Regionales.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"996\" src=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/OOC-Sancho-Panza-1-Zigarren-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Sancho Panza brand is one that importers are fond of selecting for an Edici\u00f3n Regional: a limited run of cigars available in only one country.

Together with El Rey del Mundo, Emilio Ohmstedt registered the brand. Why he chose this particular name is still unknown today. According to one tradition, Ohmstedt replaced his own name with the name Sancho Panza as early as 1850.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like many of the major Habanos brands, this one too takes its name from literature. Sancho Panza is the loyal companion of Don Quixote de la Mancha from the world-famous novel \u201eDon Quixote\u201c by the Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes. As a loyal and intelligent squire, he supported the tragicomic knight on his adventures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is remarkable that Ohmstedt did not choose a glamorous figure, but deliberately Sancho Panza \u2013 a loyal, cunning, but outwardly rather inconspicuous character with a stocky build and a considerable waistline. This choice seemed unusual against the elegant female figures and angels on the cigar boxes of many competing brands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"775\" src=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/OOC-Sancho-Panza-0-Logo-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sancho Panza, the faithful companion of Don Quixote, depicted here on the Vista of the Sancho Panza brand.

His year of death is given as either 1870 or 1874, depending on the source. 1870 appears more likely, as the brand was already registered in 1873 under a new owner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Ohmstedt, the Catalan company \u201eSalvador Perito y Cia.\u201c \u2013 also referred to as Salvador Pareto in other sources \u2013 took over the brand. Production was only carried out in small quantities. Sancho Panza remained a small brand with predominantly local recognition. Production took place in a building at Calle Manrique 142, or according to the 1873 directory, at San Nicolas.

However, it is said that they parted company with Sancho's supposed \u201ebad luck\u201c as quickly as possible. In 1927, \u201eAllones Limited\u201c sold the brand to the Cifuentes family, the then owners of Partag\u00e1s. Other brands such as Ramon Allones, Flor de Alma, Amor en Sue\u00f1o, Guayarre, and Algo Bueno also changed hands together.
