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

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.

Flor De Oliva Robusto 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.

I enjoyed this cigar - it might not quite make my favourites list, but a perfectly pleasant smoke.
The construction was great, and the burn line was really neat throughout. It held a good ash and produced lots of smoke.
I found it had a strong cedar flavour throughout, but the flavours mellowed through the second and last third - and super-smooth on the retrohale (which is unusual for me).

I went into smoking this cigar with high expectations as a friend of mine said they were a great smoke and one of his favourites.
The positives: great flavours and strength. I got a strong leather note which was pleasant and black pepper/cayenne with some creamy notes in there too. I also got some nice woodsy flavours. This cigar also produced lots of great looking smoke that hung nicely in the air.
The negatives: I had to battle with an uneven burn from about half way into the first third. With the cigar having a closed foot I made sure that it was lit properly after smoking through the wrapper that closed off the foot. Along side the uneven burn I had to relight often from halfway onwards.
For me I loved the flavour of the cigar but the uneven burn and relights did let it down. I would recommend trying the cigar for the great flavours but would be cautious of construction issues.
