Big on value, small on price.
La Aurora cigars are made in the oldest factory in the Dominican Republic – established in 1903 with a rich 100 year tradition of cigar making. Popular among native Dominicans, they’re made from the trimmings of the regular La Aurora cigar production and are the pride of the Dominican cigar industry. Principes are short-filler blends offering a flavorful medium-bodied taste and smooth draw. And at these prices, you can enjoy these day in and day out without breaking a sweat.
Great news! Principes are now available in flavors! Made the exact same way as the original Principes line, and are gently infused with delicious all-natural flavors.

Dec 20, 2016
These are marked Natural on box and on-site. They may be made with natural tobacco but they have what I think is a Dark Maduro wrapper. They are strong and not what I expected or read on the site. If you like strong then probably OK.

A nice short smoke with a mild flavor at a good price, but they cut a little too much off the top and I get tobacco pieces in my mouth as their short fillers. That's why I give it a 4 star rating.

Pretty good smoke
Nov 27, 2016
I actually bought these so the women in my life wouldn't complain ALL the time about the aroma of my cigars. However, to my delight I found myself really enjoying them! The chocolate was more an aftertaste than anything else. They go well with sweetened coffee. The construction was pretty fair with few problems. There was a few problems with relighting towards the end of some, but all in all if you like a flavored small cigar,give this one a try. Also, once again, the shipping was spot on.

Very cherry!
Nov 11, 2016
So far I've tried the straight, rum, chocolate, vanilla & cherry. I think that's all of them. My favorite in order, rum, straight, cherry, vanilla & chocolate. The cherry smell is like taking a big whiff of cherry coolade powder. They have a strong cherry flavor also, which I like. Like a cherry Jolly Rancher. All get a bit harsh towards the end but still a good, convient means to got your quick cigar fix. The foil wrapping keeps them fresh & tasty. I keep a handfull on my boat and in my golf cart

I really like the Vainilla Prinicpes, but not so much the chocolate flavored ones. These have the same smooth smoke as the Vainilla, but the flavor profile is definitely not my favorite. I ordered these because they were out of the Vainilla ones, so I took a chance. I will smoke them, but they are not my favorite of the Principes line of cigars.

Good Cigar on a Budget
Sep 14, 2016
These La Auroras' are a little light for my taste. Advertised as a Medium Bodied smoke I'd characterize them as Light to Medium. A little more umff and these would be the perfect cigar for my daily travels (I'm in my car a lot for my business). BUT, if that's what you like I don't think you'll find a better cigar for less than a buck! They draw well, burn evenly and don't have that manufactured taste I find a lot with most cigars in this price range, at least I don't think so. I really haven't had a bad one yet! I don't smoke flavored cigars so I can't speak to any of those.

As long as you’re expecting machine made, low end quality, these cigars are quite good. They are packed well and fairly consistently. The draw is usually excellent.

Best Bang For The Buck
Aug 23, 2016
For less than a buck per stick, I don't know if you can do much better than this. Pre-cut, good size, good flavor, good aroma. I'm on my second box and haven't had trouble with a single stick yet. Only reason why I gave it four stars and not five is because I'm not a big fan of the "Cherry" flavored ones; the flavoring is unnatural and tastes and smells like a cough-syrup kind of cherry.

La Aurora Principes Corona Natural
Jun 27, 2016
Good short smoke: pleasant aroma, mild to medium body, medium flavor. I actually consider this a mild cigar. I like them. 98% are filled evenly, so there are few tunnels or loose areas (wouldn't expect any in a short filler).
Little minuses; the wrapper can be a b--ch to open, they always seem to have a whiff of mint, but that goes away quickly, and the pre-cut opening is a bit too big, causing you to spit out little chopped pieces onto your friends.
I've bought a lot of these, so apparently the plusses outweigh the minuses.

Decent cigar for the price. I bought a box expecting a nicer flavored cigar. However, I did enjoy them, they're a nice cigar for when you don't have a ton of time to sit outside and burn a nice one. I didn't get much of the vanilla flavor from any of them, and a few were packed too tightly to smoke/ Overall, not bad at all for what I paid.

Principes Palma Natural
May 31, 2016
I've been a regular buyer of the Principes natural corona, which I enjoy quite a bit as a short "work" smoke.
I decided to try the Palma, as a knock-around smoke at the house.
In short, I (so far) do not like it as much as the corona size. The flavor is different... slightly more "bitter", for lack of a better term. It was still a decent smoke, lasting about 30-35 minutes, but seemed to lack the more "aged" flavor of the corona. Time will tell, as to whether I simply got the two or three "bad" ones in the box.
For the money, as a yard smoke, it's not bad at all, just not quite as nice as the smaller corona.

May 09, 2016
Though I hated the Principes Rum flavor, the vanilla is quite good. The vanilla is very, very faint, and I can really only taste it after comparing it to the unflavored cigar. The effect is great. It just makes the cigar's flavor "thicker" and more complicated. I'll probably switch to these. Best flavored cigar I've had (limited) experience with.

Cheap but fairly good quick smokes.
May 09, 2016
It had been a long time since I'd had La Aurora's Principes but when I saw the price CI had on them I decided I had to give them another try. Okay, so first the cons: sometimes they are slightly soft in spots and there are times they may draw somewhat unevenly--but not enough to really matter. The pros: they taste pretty good, they're CHEAP, they draw well, the tips are pre-cut and they give you a decent quick smoke. I'm glad I tried them again.

The Palma is a milder, lighter version of my all time favorite everyday cigar, Principies Natural.

Not what I expected
Apr 07, 2016
I bought the Palma Vainilla expecting a slightly larger version of the Vanilla Corona. That is not the case. The Palma Vainilla was larger as advertised, but the wrapper was significantly lighter and the flavor significantly different, to the point I was reminded of it every time I lit one up. I really liked the Vanilla Corona, but not so much with the Palma Vainilla. All these have a precut end, but the Palma Vainilla seems to 'leak' the short filler more than the smaller Vanilla Corona. they were smokable, but will not order these again.

While not bad they don't compare to the Cuban Delights as being a more premium cigar. My hope is that the Cuban Delights Rum Flavor are in stock soon.

Good taste and Great Smoke
Mar 15, 2016
These are a great smoke for that break where you don't have a lot of time. Good taste and lots of smoke. Better after a couple of weeks in the humidor. I really like them for trips. The individual wrappers provide additional protection and some environmental stability for each cigar.

Feb 27, 2016
For the price you can't beat it! Good little machine made cigar. I love that each cigar is individually wrapped. Personally for me, I am not a flavored cigar man. In the past I've been very disappointed in flavored cigars. I am not a fan of paying big bucks for flavored cigars. So this cigar is a good one, for the flavored cigar smokers.

Not the same cigars I bought last time
Jan 04, 2016
I bought the Palma Vanilla (Corona) thinking they were the same cigars as the Vanilla (Corona) but just a little bigger as size is the only difference in the description. However they are not the same as the last box I bought. The last box I bought were darker in color (closer to a maduro) and seemed to produce more smoke. The first box I bought I really loved; sweet, thick and creamy smoke. These not so much. They aren't bad mind you, just not the same as the last ones I bought. Makes me wonder why they are listed under the same heading since they are such a different cigar.

The cigars are perfect for those individuals who remember the old days when smoking was aloud in the work area, but better. Take a puff, put it in the ash tray and it goes out. Later on, relight, take a puff, put it in the ash tray. Repeat until the cigar is finished.

Exactly what I thought it would be...
Nov 13, 2015
I give this 5 stars as it is exactly what you think it should be: a very smokeable and tasty cheap cigar. Great cost to value proposition. The vanilla flavoring/infusion is noticeable and pleasant. Now, if like others, you think this is going to be like a long filler cigar, well...it is NOT. However, there is good volume of smoke, it burns well, and leaves a pleasant aftertaste. This is a great daily smoke at an extraordinarily reasonable price. They are precut and due to short filler can leave some particles in your mouth, especially if you are a stogie chewer. And if you are a tip chewer this has a pleasant sweet flavor, much like Levi Garrett chewing tobacco. The foil wrapper keeps them fairly fresh for a few days, even when left in your closed up hot car.

Best smoke for your buck
Oct 14, 2015
I thought I'd try these and to my delight I found these to be as good as some $10.00 sticks that I've smoked. They were very smooth for there strength and the vanilla is not over powering, actually very light not to cover up the flavor of the tobacco which is a good dark color . the quality for a machine rolled was fair, it burned evenly and slow to a nub. I teamed this up with a home brewed Heffenwieser beer and let me tell you " Man life don't get no better "....

Great price to pleasure ratio
Sep 16, 2015
Just a good smoke. Really? .63 each? 5 stars for value. You spend more than that on a crappy soda or cup of coffee. If you are expecting some sort of out of body experience, or to achieve Nirvana, don't bother. But if you like a good smoke, then don't hesitate. These are fairly consistent cigar to cigar, but some are a little 'softer' than others, and some draw smoother than others, yet none bad. I have yet to have one fall apart or come unwrapped. Tips pre-cut so just unwrap and light up. The flavor is sweet, so if you are one of those that has to have flavor in excess, like a pint of tabasco on egg, 1/2 a shaker of pepper on everything, then this may not be for you. Very nice to have when you don't want to spend an hour one on your premium stogies, yet nice corona size. 20-30 minute pleasure break.

Got the Palma Natural. I was a little dissapointed when I pulled the first one out of the foil to see the wrapper was not near as dark as in the picture. Non the less, a good cheap smoke for everyday. To me they are not anywhere a medium but far on the milder side of medium. It's still a good smoke. I wish they offered a variety box so I could try the different flavors to see which one I liked. Next order will be either the vanilla or rum.

Definately a good quality smoke for the price. I love cameroon wrappers and Dominican filler cigars. I do not like flavored cigars so I have never tried any except the "naturals". I have never found a cigar with cameroon wrappers and dominican fillers for a better price. I could care less that its machine rolled, this just makes them more consistent. You guys that cant handle a little tobacco in your mouth are just lookin for a reason to bitch. There is absolutely nothing wrong with these cigars. They are fantastic.

Best daily smoke.

Replaces my José L. Piedra cigars when I'm feeling extra cheap. Good aroma and mild, one-dimensional taste. Better than any bundle cigar I have tried. I will be buying more as soon as I can.

A good short smoke
Aug 19, 2015
A good short smoke. Just light it up. No clipping. It is a short filler smoke so occasionally you get some leaf in your mouth, but nothing bad.

Smell like Tootsie Rolls (TM) right out of the box!
Aug 07, 2015
Delicious. Well-made. Even burning. The chocolate flavor isn't just a suggestion; my wifesmelled one out of the box and exclaimed "Tootsie Rolls!" She loves the room note and even tasted one for herself (she's not usually a cigar smoker). And these little darlings are inexpensive. Very well worth the money, and I'll order these again!

Great little flavored cigar.

This Is a great little flavored cigar. Like all short filler sticks you can get some tobacco bits in the mouth but nit always. Try the rum ones as they are my fave. These burn great and are a fun quick smoke.

My Daily Companions
Jul 24, 2015
I was sitting and smoking cigars with my son the other day and he asked me if I had a favorite cigar. I thought about it for a moment and said I really don't have any favorite cigar, as I seem to appreciate all of the different brands available at CI and love to purchase the amazing samplers CI puts together.
Then, I realized I do have a "favorite" cigar, my daily companions for as many years as I can remember, the La Aurora Principes Vanilla. I even seem to compare the quality, taste, and experience of other more expensive cigars to the Principes!
Far too many smokers seem to think machine made cigars are of a lesser quality than handmade cigars. The La Aurora's never have the burn and construction problems that many of the less expensive hand rolled brands have, and even expensive handmades occasionally have. You know what I'm referring to, instead of enjoying your smoke, you end up fiddling around with the stick the entire time while the burn runs up one side of the cigar and ends up canoeing on you as you're trying to clip it or burn it away. Machine made cigars are consistent in quality.
The La Aurora Principes are a medium body smoke made from the clippings of some of La Aurora's premium blends. Try them out if you haven't yet, and you might find yourself comparing other more expensive machine made and hand rolled cigars to them!

La Aurora Princpes Natural- great quick smoke
Jul 03, 2015
I love to light these when I want a quick smoke. It's the cigar I pack when I go fly fishing so I can have one out in the water or if I have a job or two around the house. Very handy. I keep several in my truck door pocket. I always make sure I'm stocked.

Customer Testimonials
Got these in vanilla. Some positives: good fairly quick burn time, always a consistent burn, half decent flavor if you slow down with it, cheap! Some negatives: bitter flavor if smoked in a hurry, not much vanilla on the actual smoke (just on the lips). Over all not a bad cigar really, especially for the price. I've enjoyed them so far but the taste is no where near a hand rolled so don't be too excited! Would buy again.
JS of Johnstown, PA
Mild, flavorful, smooth, and inexpensive! I just received my order of these in Rum flavor. They are everything they are advertised to be. I do not claim to be a cigar "expert" but I do know what a good smooth cigar tastes like. The fact that these are made from the trimmings of the regular La Aurora cigar production comes through in the taste of these. A great smaller 30 minute smoke, that is satisfying. These, along with CI Knockoffs, are my favorite smokes, and I will be ordering more of both. The price for these is also better than the same La Aurora cigars sold by a competitor. For a great smooth smoking experience, that is very affordable, give these a try. At this price, you can also indulge your friends.
TD of Snohomish, WA
Unbelievably tasty small smokes. Go with the naturals, unless you like cloyingly sweet flavored sticks. When you crack the foil, it's so fresh and the aroma is great...best value I've ever seen. An absolute pleasure.
RE of Brooklyn, NY
Was not sure what to think at first, but they kinda grew on me as a good throw down when I am not sure how long I want to smoke. And with the choc. flavor the ladies appreciated the smell. Over all these are not your fine cigars, but you get what you pay for and maybe a little more.
SP of BELLVILLE, TX
Principes are great. Wonderful after dinner with an Octuplet malt scotch.
GS of BOYNTON BEACH, FL
These are honestly one of the only cigars that I can say tastes as good as some that are much more expensive and they have a superb aroma. I've been through 2 boxes over the last two winters. I smoke less in the cold weather and these are perfect!
RE of Knoxville, TN
The only machine rolled cigar I like so far, vanilla and chocolate. I like them for yard work and all day smokes. Save the premium sticks for occasional and nightly smokes. Chocolate is smoother to me, flavor is mild and not smack in the face.... Gonna try the natural and maybe cherry just to see.
MI of Winterville, GA
Good everyday cigar. The draw is variable.
PW of HANSVILLE, WA
Very surprised. Just wanted a walk the dog/daily cig. Wonderful taste, good even burn. For $34.95 for 55, can't beat that with a stick. Get it, with a stick.
DD of Jacksonville, FL
These Gars are great tasting, especially if you don't have much time for a long smoke. I always have these in my humidor.
JK of Henderson, NV
A good cigar with a very good flavor for about half of the length of the stogie. The wrapper tends to fall apart if gnawed on much and the ash tends to fall off if not tended to. Better than most machine made smokes, just not a long burner here. For the price,a good deal,and the vanilla flavor is well blended.
WR of Muncie, IN
Loved it.
JL of Butler, NJ
Great aroma, smooth draw, a little bit too large a ring for my taste.
GR of Melbourne Beach, FL
These are a nice quick smoke. I usually don't care for machine made cigars, but these smoke smooth. They light easily, burn evenly, and have a great draw. The only thing I would do differently is that I would opt for the non flavored instead of the chocolate. When you open the wrapper they smell like the chocolate icing on those vending machine doughnuts, but they just taste slightly sweet without the chocolate taste. Bottom line is, I would buy these again only I will skip the flavors and save my flavor craving for my Kuba Kubas.
DC of Sharpsburg, GA
Hard to beat for the money. Nice subtle flavor that still tastes like a cigar (I started with a box of Vanilla). Great daily smoker sized nicely between a cigarillo and a big stick. They are a little loosely packed, but it makes for a nice draw. Definitely will not hesitate to buy more. Wish they had a sample pack to try some of the other flavors.
WS of Troy, OH
Nice smoke for the money. Don't expect a premium, but a decent smoke. Perfect mild smoke to give to your non-cigar smoking friends!
SB of MOUNT VERNON, IL
Love the taste! Great for after dinner.
HK of anchorage, AK
I keep trying to find a inexpensive hand rolled to replace these, but I cant. I love these cigars and are by far my favorite. Every time I give one out to a friend they ask for more!
DS of broomfield, CO

AL of ELLENBURG CTR, NY
These cigars are great for the price. I've bought the vanilla and the natural. No complaints at all.
MS of Tinmouth, VT
A year ago I purchased a box, I loved the sweet flavor. It was a great inexpensive smoke. I was excited to order another box but I was very disappointed when I received them. The cigars had no flavor at all. I do not know what changed but I will not be ordering them again.
BH of GERMANTOWN, MD
Great Cigar for the buck i wish the flavor was a little more robust and more consistent but they are fresh and burn very well. The best flavor of the bunch is the vanilla, the rum has a funny taste it shore is not rum.
AV of Spring City, PA
Well worth the price. Perfect for mowing the lawn or doing some gardening. I've smoked $20 sticks that aren't as good as these.
GW of West Sacramento, CA
Lets see, better wrapper, burn, construction, and consistency... only $0.63 each! HELLO! I'm smoking these and all La Aurora flavors all day long! TOTALLY AWESOME!
JB of Friendswood, TX
These little cigars are one of the best I have ever smoked. Easy drawing, burn even and great flavor. I have tried all the flavors and I think each one has it own taste and complexity you can't go wrong with any of these cigars.
AA of MYRTLE BEACH, SC
Forgot how much of an enjoyable smoke Principes are, would tell a new cigar smoker to order some. They are smooth and slightly sweet and are what I call a slow smoking cigar.
JM of PLATTSBURGH, NY
Ooohwee as sweet as a tootsie roll, soft and hydrated fresh out of the wrapper with a consistent taste. I can't wait to taste to the vanilla!
LD of Santa Clara, CA
I ordered these a few months ago and am almost through the box. I ordered the Vanilla and I absolutely love them. Very easy to light. Burn is slow and even, even in windy conditions (I live near Chicago). The flavor of the tobacco is amazing and the vanilla flavor is sweet but not overpowering. Would definitely recommend. I will probably be ordering these again, and definitely want to try some of the other flavors. For the price, you can't beat these guys. Perfect for short smokes with a morning coffee or to take on the golf course!
JT of TINLEY PARK, IL
A great deal for the money. They're consistent, and have a good quality tobacco. A nice stopping off point between cigarillos and the bigger sized of cigars.
ML of MACON, GA
Being new to the 'sport' of cigars, I have found these handy little smokes very tasty. Scent of cocoa and tastes like a tootsie roll, I'm sure the other flavored from this collection will be just as interesting. Great and smooth draw, flavor throughout, wrapper burns at an impressively even rate. Probably one of the most flavorful cigars I can recall of late. I recommend getting a box, as I know I will enjoy mine to the last puff. Smoke on, and here's to the simple pleasures.
MR of las vegas, NV
Very nice, ordered a second shipment. Loved the chocolate aroma.
JN of Aransas Pass, TX
Pretty good taste, open the box & smells like a sweet bottle was just poured all inside of it. They don't even really need to be humidified, got my box a month ago, still haven't put them in my humidor, the silver wrap just contains this reallly good sweet taste to them. When you smoke it, it's a pretty quick burn but it's got a smooth aroma. I like to think of it as a legitimate rolled cigar that is like a REALLY high quality Swisher because of the flavoring. for an MSRP of 2.50 each and a sale of 65 cents each it's pretty good & well worth the cash. 4/5
GD of Eugene, OR
These little boogers are great and cost friendly.

GA of CORONA, CA
Very nice cigar if you like Cherry.
DR of Reading, PA
I normally smoke cigarillos(Swisher, Black & Mild, Good Times) but I was looking for something different. After reading about the history of the company and the reviews, I decided to give these a shot. No guts no glory, right? I am so glad that I did! The taste, the burn, are fantastic! While these probably won't be an everyday smoke for me, they will most definitely be a welcome change when I'm in the mood for something different!
CG of KELLERTON, IA
Nothing new to add here but to agree with lots of other reviews. these little guys have a very strong vanilla aroma. i got a good 30mins + smoke time out of it. they do look like a more expensive cigar with its individual wrappers. I think i just found my go to flavored stick. I also purchased Swishers and by flavor comparison, these seem to have much more infusion of its flavor.
JD of LONG BEACH, CA
These are okay but the rum flavored ones are 100 percent better.

AA of MYRTLE BEACH, SC
I truly enjoy these cigars! When I saw how they were packaged...the appreciation increased! The draw was pleasant, the even burn was pleasing. I would order these as a "filler" for the auto-shipment to arrive...knowing full well that they would last me until then. I consider these as a "staple." To have until the order arrives. And still feel that it was money well spent!
AB of Oklahoma City, OK
Great little cigars, priced right.
DW of Venice, FL
Great Price for an excellent daily smoke. Smooth, well packaged with a superb aroma in every puff.
BH of RICHMOND, VA
I recently placed a large order for inexpensive cigars, and included was one box of natural Principes. I have come to enjoy a lot of cheap cigars, including a number of machine made smokes. Chief among these are Marsh Wheeling Deluxe, Parodi King, De Nobili Tosconi Long, Avantis, Muniemakers, and Antonio y Cleopatra Grenadiers in the candella wrapper. Add to the list, very near the top, Principes. These have a good, honest cigar flavor. It is by no means exquisite, but it is solid, uncomplicated, and enjoyable. Being made with trimmings from La Aurora's premium blends and a natural wrapper, they have a predominantly traditional flavor, but the homogenized binder add a minor "machine made" flavor. This is extremely subtle, to the point of barely being worth mentioning. I prefer the Marsh Wheeling, Muniemakers, and Parodi, but the price of the Principes is more along the lines of what you might pay for a Phillie or Swisher Sweet, yet with a far, far better flavor. Out of the first ten or so, one of them was packaged without being given a wrapper. That is, it had filler and binder, but no natural wrapper leaf like the others. Considering it cost me less than 75 cents, this wasn't a big deal. I've not heard of this happening with other folks, so it may very well be an exceptionally rare mistake. The cigar, apart from being squishy around the "cap" end, still smoked well and tasted fairly similar to the others, but with a less solid traditional cigar flavor. The major drawback to these is since they are short filler and precut to allow an open draw like you'd find with a good premium smoke, they can burn fast and hot if you puff on them too frequently. You CAN smoke one of these in 15-20 minutes, but if you do you sacrifice the cool smoke and mellow flavor. If you smoke slowly and deliberately, you'll get a razor sharp burn and a very pleasant 30-40 minute smoke. These are mild-medium, and I find them more on the medium end. There are machine made cigars I enjoy more, but only slightly more. Given the price of these, at under 70 cents a piece, these are the single best value I've found to date. They do have a slightly sweet flavor, but it isn't a major feature in my experience with them so far. I've smoked three of them today, and thoroughly enjoyed each. If I get through the box and still think as highly of them as I do currently, I will not hesitate in the least to buy another box or two. I might even, purely out of curiosity, try a flavored variety in addition. I wish that CI would sell 5 packs of these because I avoided trying these for a VERY long time because until recently my experience with White Owl, Phillies, and Swisher Sweets had me very hesitant to order these. 55 cigars is a large commitment if you don't know you'll like them. But I'm glad I did. Gamble on this one and you may find you like them very much. For 60 some cents a piece, even if you don't like them they will be good for passing out to friends who just want something to smoke over a game of cards or checkers, while watching a game, or fishing or whatever you do for fun. I regret not having tried these sooner; when I still smoked cigars more often than my pipes, I could have saved a lot of money compared to buying value priced handmades like Flor de Oliva. They won't completely replace my premium cigars, but the will sure make up a large portion of what I smoke from here on out, and with the exception of overruns and seconds, I think they (and other good machine made cigars) will completely replace the economy hand mades
CM of Bloomington, IN
Straight out of the foil, the Principes Natural has a hint of that odd molasses-sweet taste like one finds in a Swisher or King Edward. I find that this disappears if you remove all the foil wrappers and just put them in a humidor nude for awhile. Then, the flavor actually is fairly pleasant, the body just a hair above mild but not quite a solid medium. A decent everyday cigar for the morning commute or puttering around. I wish they had put them in standard cello instead of the silly foil which incidentally is also a pain to open as it has no pull tab.
DC of Beaufort, SC
If you are looking for a "cigar" taste then pass on these. I agree with one of the other reviews. "They taste like if you were smoking a donut, if you like the taste of tobacco when you smoke pick something else" They are like a flavored cigar with no particular flavor. Like smoking a glazed doughnut...
KM of Brewerton, NY
I was a little skeptical about ordering these, but I am happy I did! Getting ready to order my next box. I was surprised how good they were, lots of flavor, and excellent burn. I have shared these with friends (at this price you can afford to share!) and they were a big hit. I unwrapped the cigars and told them I was trying a new brand and wanted feedback. Needless to say several of my buddies have already ordered them! Keep up the good work CI
MV of Fargo, ND
I was at a resort in the DR and asked for a recommendation by the proprietor. This is what he recommended. Great everyday smoke, sometimes inconsistent but well worth the price. I will be ordering more. Echo all the other positives.
TN of Pueblo, CO
Needed a cheap everyday smoke and man did I find it! The coolest thing about these are the real leaf wrapper, the pre-cut, non-drilled ends, and the tightness of the cigar itself. The taste is enjoyable but not sophisticated but thats what I expected. Buy these if you are looking for a box a cheapies, you can't go wrong!
JS of Lynchburg, VA
Well I finished the 3 boxes/75 cigars I had. Must say, I ordered another 3 boxes today simply because I love the size of this cigar. It's right in between a short smoke and a full smoke and I don't look like I'm in the Mafia smoking it at the Country Club. So far I haven't offended any women with the aroma. It lasts about 30 minutes and isn't overpowering or boring. The roll is outstanding.
GJ of Metairie, LA
They taste like if you were smoking a donuts, if you like the taste of tobacco when you smoke pick something else
RV of Miami, FL
Been searching for a good, short smoke that's easy on the wallet. Found it! These puppies are just right for the morning ritual or a quick break. Smooth burn and very consistent construction, not at all harsh (like most cheapos) and value plus priced. Very much like the regular La Aurora sticks. Thanks CI!
JB of Starkville, MS
Ok, so having smoked almost everything La Aurora has to offer(including some one of a kind cigars rolled by Nestor for Rigo Diaz of Miami Cigars and Jose Blanco,) I decided to put my faith in their outstanding quality and try these machine mades. I bought the 75ct. deal here on CI and let me tell you, it's a purchase I don't regret. These little guys pack some serious and complex flavor in a small cigar that, for the price, makes the perfect "no-guilt" any time smoke. This cigar is truly a work of art for a machine made mass produced stick with notes of cedar, leather, earth, and a little pepper in the last 2/3. I get some of the same cedary/peppery flavor notes as the La Aurora 1495 and the smoothness from the Leon Jimenes line. Overall I'm extremely impressed by the price/quality of this smoke and highly recommend you go out on a limb and grab them while they're in stock.
MD of Las Vegas, NV
I am very apprehensive about trying a new "value" cigar, but decided to give these a try. These little smokes are worth each of the few pennies you'll pay for them. Sure, I had to spit a few tobacco clippings, but the flavor and price more than make up for this shortfall. It does fall a bit shy of medium bodied.
PH of Birmingham, AL
I'm half-way through yet another order of Principes. These are damn good everyday smokes. Do they stack-up against a Ghurka or a Padron? Hell no! Are they good little smokes that will help you wind-down from work and the kids? Hell yes! When I have the time and opportunity, I spark a high dollar smoke, like a Ghurka. On a night like tonight, when the wife is working, I've just finished feeding the kids, and I'm watching them play with their friends until bath time.... aah, now it's Principe time! Do yourself a favor, guys, and put in an order for 50 or so.
RO of Alvarado, TX
This is an amazing short cigar! It has a perfect burn, great taste, and the foil really keeps them fresh. This has become my everyday cigar!
SP of Bloomington, IL
I got home with my Principes and just had to break one out of the foil and see what they're all about. Man I'm not sure what it is about the foil, but it tasted like it had just been given to me off the rolling table at the factory. It almost felt too wet to light, but it smoked so rich and smooth I thought to myself, so this is what a real cigar tastes like. If La Aurora puts this much quality into an 80 cent stick; I'm gonna have to use some WD 40 to get my wallet open and try some of their $2.00 + versions.
FV of IIGrants Pass, OR
These little cigars are great! Panatelas would be cool. I'd also like to try the other flavors besides the Naturals! Thanks C.I.!
RS of Rochester, WA
...These are barely a step above machine made malarkey that you can buy at any corner store....
MU of El Paso, TX
I've been on a quest for a decent everyday smoke that meets three criteria: 1) Inexpensive so I can smoke a couple everyday, or not feel guilty if I have to ditch one; 2) Decent quality so it doesn't taste like I'm smoking a dog rocket; and 3) a smaller size so I can smoke it in 20 minutes or less for those occasions when I don't have the time for one of my beloved toros. Principes hit the mark and then some: They're well under a buck a stick, they taste pretty good and are well made, and I can smoke one in 20 minutes or less. I don't normally smoke Dominican cigars, but these are an exception that I'll be making on a regular basis. Many a cigar snob or uber rich yahoo may turn up their noses at a cigar that meets such requirements, and that's too bad because they'd be missing-out on an enjoyable smoke. But if you're not a cigar snob or an uber rich yahoo, then take my advice and grab up 50 or so of these little gems - you'll be glad you did. Damn good smokes these are!!
RO of Alvarado, TX
Wow! My good friend Dan introduced me to these (La Aurora Principes) superb cigars and I've been completly hooked ever since. They are without a doubt the mildest, best drawing, smoke I've ever run across and the price is a great bargan that allows you to enjoy them without the guilt.
