Principle Cigars Straphanger Mareva
There isn't a lot of info on the cigar. So, I stole some from a European site that sells them.
"The red-brown shimmering wrapper is called Monte Plata Yamasa, the filler tobaccos are of the Olor variety."
My impression through the first third is, if you like the Davidoff Discovery line this may interest you. It isn't a Davidoff clone, but it is a darker interpretation of Dominican flavors with leather, earth, roasted nut, and cream imbued with that Dominican tanginess. After the ash falls a bit of that Dominican mustiness comes in.
I will buy more of them in the future.

Between this and the Accomplice Connecticut, I prefer the Connecticut. This one (Classic) had an aspect of cedar and citrus that would come in and leave a bitter aftertaste. It was a good cigar, but that just pulled me out of the enjoyment. I'm going to wait a couple of weeks and see if that settles down or disappears.
At this point I think they are hitting that post shipping adjustment period. I wasn't getting as much from this or the Aviator as I expected.
