Principle

Darren Cioffi founded the house with the aim of creating distinctive blends in partnership with some of the finest factories in the Dominican Republic. From the outset, Principle focused its production on handcraftsmanship and carefully selected tobaccos, setting its cigars apart from large-scale commercial offerings. Many of its collections draw inspiration from historical events, remarkable people or memorable places, so each release tells a story beyond the blend itself. The Martinique collection has since expanded with Lancero, Corona Gorda and, more recently, Corona formats, each carrying its own personality.
