Oliva Orchant Seleccion Skinny Cigar - 1 Single

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.

This cigar was a frequent humidor filler 5 years ago, back then £7.99 great value stick and I would say still is. Thought to return and see how my palate as developed. Unlike many other cigars I’ve revisited I found I still enjoyed this, I find this cigar to be medium strength then picking up slightly half way, flavours are distinct but changes little throughout the smoke, with spice notes especially at beginning, notes of coffee, leather and woodiness are also experienced. Construction is great and I only had one this time but I recall them being very consistent. I recommend.... It’s very good cigar especially on a price point 4/5 stars.

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!

Wonderful just wonderful. Had mine as a morning smoke with a coffee, a little hot & spicy for the first inch then smoothed out to woodiness with mild leather notes & some nutty flavors coming into play also. I was pleasantly surprised & I will be buying more to put into the rotation. A happy contented morning was had with this stick before getting on with the days work, what more do you want.

Too hot and peppery for me. I punched a hole as gentle as I could and the smoking end started to peel. The first third was like eating a chilli 🌶 and went out on me. However the rest smoked perfectly and calmed down on the pepper and hotness. Just my opinion really. If you like pepper I’m sure it’s great.

Just enjoyed one of these with a nice cold IPA, it was an excellent complement. Nice light-medium flavours, decent strength, and lots of smoke. Im an amateur cigar smoker but I could taste chocolate for the first half an inch or so, after that just a pleasant tobacco taste with hints of spice. Ill stop trying to describe it now before I embarrass myself; suffice it to say that I enjoyed this one a lot and Ill be ordering more!
