Principales Draw is great nine times out of 10 well constructed not too harsh and remains good until the finish. Excellent value! 4 5 1
Principales very good but delivered a little dry from jr. even with the humidity pack in the bag. im sure its more difficult to humidify a building than something you can pick up in your hands but i've gotten a few shipments that were a little dry from jr. like the maduro a little better. you can light from the included cedar which is kind of cool. 4 5 1
Principales Always loved this stick. Turned my buddies onto them 20 years ago and it's still my go-to cigar. Pretty consistent with a nice even burn; mild to medium with that cocoa/coffee taste you hear about on other reviews. Price has creeped up over the years which is a disappointment but better than paying $7-$8 a 'gar for others in this category. 4 5 1
Principales This is fine smoke. Even burn nice flavor easy draw. Just what you want when you buy a low priced smoke. JR Cigars hasn't missed the mark with this one... 4 5 1
Principales Nice cigar. Firm with an even burn and pleasantly mild flavor. 4 5 1
Principales My regular poolside stick. Haven't had a disappointing smoke after several boxes. I give these to friends. The value is incredible. 4 5 1
Principales These cigars are far superior to the big name brand cigars that I've been smoking at twice the price! Everything has been consistent draw flavor and oh so smooth. For the price these are the best! 5 5 1
Principales If it wasn't for the ultimate #1 this would be my favorite cigar. Great price just a little more tame. 5 5 1
Principales I haven't had this cigar in many years. It's gotten a little pricey and I've been smoking smaller rings of late. I wasn't sure if I'd still like this cigar but man I love it. Bought the box on sale and couldn't be happier 5 5 1
Principales Ok set your expectations correctly and this isn't bad. It rates low on the dog poo scale. The consistency of the Tobacco roll creates an inconsistent ash. The smoke is good and abundant and the taste can be a bit harsh at first and mellows toward the middle. Overall it's not bad it's also not a $8+ cigar and nor should it be. 3 5 1
Principales Smooth and tasty creamy with a great draw. one of the best JR's I have had. These cigars may be better than some of the top brand name cigars. 5 5 1
Principales This is a surprising cigar. I usually go for higher-end types but I got a box of these on one of the JR auctions. These compete with any expensive brand in terms of smoothness and flavor. They look great and taste great. Very very good cigar. 5 5 1
Principales JR Ultimates are my go to everyday cigar. Good on the back patio or on the golf course. Consistent flavor construction and burn. Prefer the maduro however. A solid smoke for the money 5 5 1
Principales Consistent flavor and quality at a good price. 4 5 1
Principales These are consistent well made cigars. They have an easy draw and produce a good amount of smoke. They have a tasty wrapper and are mild to medium to me. For under five bucks a stick you can't go wrong. 4 5 1
Principales Good everyday cigar. Fine quality. 4 5 1
Principales Great Cigar. Good burn all the way to the end. No bitter taste great flavor. Was medium mild strength. 5 5 1
Principales My all around favorite and a top value never failed me 5 5 1
Principales My initial purchase of the Principales. Bought them for the golf course and so far no disappointed lasting around nine holes. For the money it is a good cigar. I've had better but I paid a lot more for those. 4 5 1
Principales Good smoke that is tasty and inexpensive. 4 5 1
Principales A great tasting cigar and a very affordable price! No issues with construction, burn, or draw. Great flavor. I would call this a medium body, not medium to full. 5 5 1
Principales I purchased these on a free-fall auction for around 40% off of the discounted JR price. Probably wouldn’t pay full price for them though. Good draw, very mellow, didn’t need re-lit. Smoked ROTT. 5 5 1
Principales Great smoke, draw, aroma, and at a price that cannot be beat 5 5 1
Principales These cigars are the best $4-5 dollar cigars on the market. Great taste and even burn. Flavor doesn't change all the way down to the nub. This cigar is on the medium side of medium-full strength. 5 5 1

Principales If there ever was a solid cigar that you could smoke every day and not tire of it this would be the one. Just a great smoke when you want top quality great construction and nice flavors. 4 5 1
Principales Shipped from JR pretty dry. Not terrible harsh or acrid but not great tasting either. Maybe tobacco is a little young or they are inconsistent based on the excellent reviews here. Liked the maduro a lot. Better options out there even at this price. 3 5 1
Principales So since my last review this cigar has found it's way from 67 to 85 dollars for a box. I will still say bang for buck it is still a very good cigar but there are now other options just as good if not better given this latest price point.... In my opinion the Rocky Patel seconds are one example. I also found that this latest box did not have the same consistency in flavor as the other half dozen boxes I've ordered. 4 5 1

Principales Draw is very good and is a consistent stick. I enjoyed the flavor and price is right 4 5 1
Principales Money won't buy you a better cigar! It's perfect in every regard. I especially enjoy the elegant cedar wrap which I remove and ignite to toast the foot. Nice perk. 5 5 1

Principales always a good smoke & for the price you can't beat it great flavor but not too full. goes good w/ four roses. i did not give all fives. have to admit over the yrs have had one here & there that either didn't draw well or wrapper issues. 4 5 1
Principales Overall the best cigar out there - flavor taste consistency construction. If I could only buy one cigar for the rest of my life it would be this one. My only regret is they don't make it in maduro anymore. 5 5 1
Principales Good everyday cigar. Fine quality. 4 5 1
Principales This is a great tasting high quality smoke. Can't beat them for the money. 5 5 1
Principales Long time favorite. Excellent flavor slightly on the mild side of medium full I'd say. Wish they priced it like when I had my first 25 or 30 years ago but still a great value. 5 5 1
Principales Absolutely met my expectations. An ideal smoke for my postprandial mile stroll around the neighborhood, or for a drive home from my office. 5 5 1
Principales A well- made cigar with robust flavor 5 5 1
Principales I have had a few of these and they seem to be fairly inconsistent as far as build. Ok flavor. 3 5 1
Principales Beautiful oily wrapper with a barnyard and cocoa aroma. Good construction and burn. Good consistency of flavors of a sweet tobacco and creamy coffee and cedar. Definitely a great perk for such a great cigar at a wallet friendly price. 4 5 1
Principales Wrapper quality improved in last batches. Draw needs improvement. Very good cigar for the price. 4 5 1
Principales The draw is disappointing. The wrapper is disappointing in the last 2 batches. Needed to put some nail holes to produce acceptable draw. 2 5 1
Principales Always been a very good cigar, pleasant tastes and consistent construction 4 5 1
Principales Easy draw, consistent throughout. Well constructed from filler to wrapper. Medium flavor profile, smooth with a slight kick, not overwhelming. Finally, a great deal when you buy at the right time. 4 5 1
Principales Excellent value, Although the five packs while economical seem to be a bit inferior to the boxed set. 4 5 1
Principales Love at first light 5 5 1
Principales Great cigar, always a good consistent taste, quality and construction is superb. 5 5 1
Principales Very good cigar. Good amount of smoke, good ash, good construction. Burned flawlessly, the flavor stayed consistent throughout the entire cigar, To the last inch. It did not get bitter at the end, as many cigars do. 5 5 1
