Review #69: Faithful to the brand standard, the look of this cigar is great: dark and silky wrapper, lovely anilla, musty and earthy smell. As in many small formats, it's intense and tasty from the first puff, though not with a very strong nicotine punch. There's a definitely sweet undertone, sort of vanilla/cinnamon note, in the first part: I'm not saying it's like a candy, but it's hard to wait for the next puff, you'd like to smoke it greedily like a cigarette.
These sweet notes become less dominant quite soon, making space for more traditional cuban flavours, especially woodsy tones, but they come out here and there throughout all the smoke.
The draw and burning are perfect, so you don't need to concentrate on anything else than the flavour.
I think the best way to define this cigar is creamy: I can't find a better term to explain smoothness and intensity without a great strenght.
The last third is a little stronger, but it can't be considered an after meal cigar. It's a perfect all-day smoke. - Submitted by sasha on October 6, 2007
Review #68: I've had several now from my 01 box. When they are on they are ON. Very creamy and smooth. Go great with coffee around brunch to me, not my evening cigar unless I am short on time.
The problem i have is the lack of consitency. Many have been strong the whole way, or start way to powerful and mellow my the middle. I can understand variences, but i don't like about 60% of the box going great with coffee, and the rest being way to strong for a brunch cigar. It might be the 01 box.
If they were all like the majority, smooth creamy with cinnamon spice, they would score a lot higher in my book. - Submitted by Hagan on September 5, 2007
Review #67:  Smoked the Principe on three different occasions. The first two times it was a standout, and even a bit on the strong side, with lots of cuban twang. The one I smoked last week was very mild with an extremely loose draw. Nothing interesting at all. Normally this is a good cigar. But even the good ones I guess fall victim to a bad roll with "blah" tobacco inside. - Submitted by Jimbo on August 21, 2007
Review #66: I just received a box of OEB FEB 07. A medium strength cigar; very smooth and creamy with no spiciness. Certainly a very refined cigar throughout; and it may taste even better with some age. Of course, it lacks complexity when compared to thicker gauge cigars but is a very decent smoke nevertheless. Construction was excellent with long ash and very nice draw. - Submitted by mtec on August 20, 2007
Review #65: very interesting smoke. smooth and creamy, chocolate flavor. good construction and draw. medium strenght, a milder alternative to the partagas short and close to the cuaba divinos (which i personally find a bit more fascinating). excellent value for money. racomended. - Submitted by zumbi on July 28, 2007
