Cigar people always talk about 'flavour transitions' as you smoke a cigar, I've never really thought it was a thing, until now.

The Principes Long Filler Maduro Robusto takes you on a proper journey as you make your way through it. On the initial light it was an incredibly mild smoke, transitioning to what we call a 'medium body' in the biz.

Tasting notes from people that smoke cigars mention chocolate, anise, leather and pepper, personally I couldn't taste any of that, but I did thoroughly enjoy the process, especially the last 5cm where the flavour really intensifies. As a result we believe this is a fantastic cigar for beginners to work out what flavour profile you like.

Enjoy the first half? You probably like something more mild.

Prefer the second? Maybe a medium body is for you. 

Still yearning for yet more flavour intensity? Full body could be your man. 

This guy on reddit thought it was great, you probably will too. Only one way to find out.
