I am relatively new to smoking and have been looking for a small cigar with a vanilla top. I tried these and decided that their smoke was harsh and not suited to my taste. I left a tin of these stored in my smoke box (not a humidor), and returned to them a number of weeks later and was pleasantly surprised. The aroma had improved and the smoke was smooth with an excellent vanilla flavour. I now buy these in boxes of fifty and open two or three tins to allow them to mature and become more flavoursome. These have become one of my favourite smokes, buy and enjoy.

The San Cristobal De La Habana El Principe is a very tasty small cigar with a perfect draw mild to medium in strength with tastes of dried apricot at first then becoming spiced apricot that lasts to the end an excellent 40 minutes smoke, ideal for the beginner, coffee break or alfresco pub smoke. other small cigars that are really good are the Cohiba Siglo I, Rafael Gonzalez Perlas, Trinidad Reyes and the Montecristo No.5

There are so many hugely popular marevas out there (Montecristo No.4 and Cohiba Siglo II to name just a couple) that it can be easy for some to be overshadowed, such as the Sancho Panza Non Plus. However, I found this to be a very tasty cigar. The wrapper was smooth, dark and oily and it had a slightly firm draw that loosened up nicely as the cigar progressed. It isn't the most complex smoke, but it gives a very enjoyable and consistent earthy flavour, with hints of nut and a touch of spice when exhaled through the nose. These flavours remain mild throughout, making this an ideal early morning smoke. If you're a fan of the Mareva format I'd certainly recommend at least giving one of these a try. - Calum, Turmeaus Chester.

This is a first class cigar. The draw is excellent and smoke full bodied, smooth and even. It is also very good value for a cigar of this quality.

I've scored it in the middle as I don't want to put people off what appears to be a great smoke (read all the reviews before I writing mine). From reading the reviews I'm guessing its a case of me being slightly unlucky. Everything about this cigar was promising, look, feel, smell but that's were it ended unfortunately. It was so tightly rolled that I had to give up about 3rd in, gutted to say the least as the aroma coming off it was lovely and the minimal amounts of smoke coming through was leaving some lovely flavours but it become impossible to smoke. As I a say read all the other reviews first but for me it just wasn't my day...or cigar!

Flavor:Mild,
Burn: average to good, slower than normal
Draw: Poor to low, rather hard
Notes: mild vanilla,just a hint of a nutmeg finish but mainly light cocoa, no citrus at all unfortunatly,would need a strong drink to even think of buying this one again(Talisker maybe?) was not consistent with prior Sancho's I've had, thus the disappointing review.
