Oliva Orchant Seleccion Skinny Cigar - 1 Single
by Jonathan
I ordered up various selection packs to restock the humidor after a cigar hiatus of a couple of years, included in which was this little beauty. After resting for a couple of days in the humidor I poured myself a generous measure of a Bruichladdich virgin cask edition and settled down in the garden for a little relaxation. First impressions were good, the construction was excellent and the cigar just looked good. It cut well and lit easily. I always found cigars to be as subjective as whisky when reviewing, but for what it is worth this is my tuppence worth......
Initially the cold draw I found to be quite astringent, warming quickly to dry toast and well worn leather as the first third progressed, once it warmed and progressed through the second third it mellowed dramatically, transitioning to a beautiful rich tobacco flavour underlayed with honeyed melon or pineapple, coffee and the barest hint of a pleasant spice (perhaps a little white pepper?). The final third remained very mild and gentle with a gradual increase in the overall spice. Overall the experience was incredibly mor

Just put this one down. Pretty nice, good even burn the whole smoke, lasted about 50 mins.
Very nice draw, smooth and tasty. Not many distinct flavours other than nice tobacco, but that may just be me. Got a bit tarry towards the last quarter.
Great for a beginner like myself, good value, nice taste, even burn.
I liked it, but have to recommend the tubed inka secret blend red (these 2 are my first purchase outside of cuba where i picked up the passion), as its just a nicer smoke and cheaper too

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!

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.

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.
