Oliva Orchant Seleccion Skinny Cigar - Box of 10

Date Added: Friday 03 September, 2021 by Nicholas

Absolutely stunning cigar, straight from the box. Arrived as box of cello-wrapped cigars, with a small boveda sachet. Couldnt resist trying - so lit one up immediately. I was very surprised at how good this is. The aroma is delicious and complex, there are a variety of flavours. I tasted nuts, milk chocolate, sweetened tea leaves, perfume, a touch of spice, occasional cardamom and coriander. The Oliva Serie V robusto is similar in flavour (and a very sturdy and consistent cigar), but this is on another level. Its got a flavour profile that is somewhere between a R&J at its best, and HDM Epi 2 (circa 2018), with a touch of Padron. No harshness, no intense smoky / coffee / earthy flavours like Davidoff. I love Cuban cigars. But this is the best non-Cuban Ive tried out of hundreds. Of course Im yet to let them loose in the humidor - they may get better or worse with time ( Olivas seem to be very resistant to changes in humidity).. but right now Im a very happy customer.

Quite simply this is an excellent cigar that knocks some of the more expensive Havana cigars of the same ilk into a cocked hat! Very impressed! What’s not to like!
