These are a bargain. I think they smell weird out of the wrapper so I unwrap them and store in the humidor for a while, takes care of that! They don't have a lot of flavor, but smoke great and are mild. Perfect for my drive to work (they're precut) or when I only have a short time for a smoke. I get a little tobacco in the mouth once in a while and if you don't stay on top of the ash, it will fall in your lap. But for the price it's a great quick smoke.

I was quite surprised at the steady burn of this cigar. The taste was pleasant and the overall feel of it was very impressive for its price range. I was looking for a Dominican cigar similiar to a Partagas. I still prefer the Partagas over this, but overall for the price it is a great substitution. The only thing i didnt really like too much was the smell of the brazilian wrapper, about half way through i could really taste it. Overall it was a great surprise!

I liked it Ok, but it was not worth the money. It almost tasted burnt inside. Stronger than I expected. Burned out too easily.

Can't afford most La Aurora cigars, but couldn't pass up the principes size and price. What a discovery. A real joy to smoke, look forward to every one,(in between my two other cigars. both different brands and sizes). Principes arn't real pretty, but they taste great. The fact that they are machine rolled, is in my opinion, a plus, as every cigar is consistant with the previous one. The precut head just saves a presmoking step,and a little tobacco in the mouth (on occassion) is no big deal.Will be ordering many more of these little guys!!!

I am a regular Principes smoker, I like the budget friendly daily smoke. I saw the flavor assortment sampler pack on my last purchase of sticks. I was curious so I bought them. I am not a fan of flavored cigars but I gave in to curiosity. These sticks were so pungent that I was weary even before lighting a stick (rum flavor) The tobacco flavor of the cigar got lost with the infused flavor. After a few puffs I found myself spitting out the flavor all the way thru the smoke. If you are a fan of flavored sticks you may enjoy these. For those of you who enjoy the natural flavor of a good cigar stay away from these. I will be pulling these out on those times when the ladies want to pretend they can hang with the big boys(no offense ladies). Take my advice stick with the natural principes they are good daily sticks at a descent price. If you want something sweet go to the candy store.
