Flor De Oliva Churchill Cigar - 1 Single by Richard

The Flor de Oliva was a pleasant surprise, considering it’s one of the more budget-friendly cigars I’ve come across. Right away, it delivered a nice balance of flavors: earthy, slightly sweet, with touches of cedar and nuts. The construction wasn’t flawless—there were a couple of uneven burn issues—but overall it smoked much better than I expected at this price. The draw was easy, producing plenty of smoke, which made it enjoyable to puff on. About halfway through, I noticed a more pronounced sweetness, almost like caramel, mixed with a bit of spice. It’s not overly complex, but it doesn’t feel boring either. The strength is medium, making it approachable for someone like me still learning what I like. Toward the end, it picked up a little more body, with more wood and spice, though it never got harsh. This cigar feels like a great daily option—affordable enough not to worry about, but flavorful enough to keep you interested. It’s not in the same league as some of the premium cigars I’ve tried, but it definitely punches above its weight. Rating: 7/10

Flor De Oliva Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by Stuart

The Flor De Oliva Robusto might not be the premium end of what Oliva produce, but it still makes for a very enjoyable smoke. I had mine straight out of a 65% humidor, and the draw was a little tight at first, a quick go with the cigar drill sorted that, and after that it was spot on. It lasted me about an hour, and what I liked most was how the flavour shifted every third, giving me something a bit different as I went along. For the price point, it’s hard to complain. It doesn’t pretend to be a luxury stick, but it delivers a solid, relaxing smoke that feels like good value for money. Definitely one I’ll pick up again when I want an honest, satisfying cigar without spending a fortune.

Flor De Oliva Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by Ali

Had this in the special offer ( so great cigar for £10) nice light cigar, ideal for a quick lunchtime smoke with a coffee. Quite a tight draw, which I personally don't like, but again for the price its a good budget friendly cigar

Foundation The Tabernacle Broadleaf Torpedo Cigar - 1 Single by Henry

This is one of my favourite cigars, well worth coming back to time and time again. Roughly a 35 minute smoke, burning smoothly and evenly throughout. There's no enormous variation from beginning to end, but then does that matter when it's as good as it is to start with? Espresso, leather, hay and a hint of chocolate, all expressed in copiuos quantities of smoke. I may even buy a box. The only criticism I can make is that it isn't a bigger vitola so it would last a little longer! However, making a cigar in a different size can alter its dynamics, so that might not work.
