  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Principle Cigars Accomplice Corojo

This is the only Principle Cigars rolled at the William Ventura factory. It is also the only one that gave me burn issues, had a flaky ash, and was inconsistent in flavor. In short all of the Covid era issues I had with Caldwell and La Barba.

Overall what I've smoked from Principle has been good. In fact I reordered some smokes this week. I would probably skip this one in the future because of the Ventura issues that crept up. This cigar didn't taste anything like the last two corojo I smoked, and the construction was frustrating.

The rest of the Accomplice line has been well above average for the price and worth trying.

How was it?

Worth the coin?
It was really good, especially the last 2/3. Gellis changed the blend to get more sweetness, but I don't think he achieved that, so I'm gonna let them rest for 6 months or so, and try again.
A pretty traditional blend though imho. Nothing memorable, but really good like I said. Only time will tell.;)
