Oliva Serie V Double Robusto Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Thursday 18 July, 2019 by Chris

As always, excellent service was provided over the counter. I asked for something Nicaraguan and full bodied; this cigar more than delivered! Flawless construction with a tight cap, almost invisible seem and a beautiful Bournville-esque wrapper. Pre-light draw gave cedar and Woody spices. These notes defined the first inch and were a pleasant introduction. The next three inches: wow! Cedar, spice, plum pudding, dark chocolate and a pleasant acidity to cut through the richer and sweeter notes. Pepper grew as it approached the end, but it remained rich and satisfying, even as the smoke got too hot to handle. Will definitely be looking to purchase a few more of these and try the other vitolas in Serie V.
