Oliva Orchant Seleccion Skinny Cigar - Box of 10
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 is an incredible cigar. Lasts anywhere from an hour to 75mins (max). Brilliantly constructed and the burn is always remarkable. Not too firm. Lovely slightly oily wrapper and rye draw is right in the middle of firm and loose. It is quite literally a perfect cigar. Tastes beautiful. If you get the chance buy some of these you will not be disappointed.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Lasted me an hour and 21 minutes and smoked it down until there was about an inch left. If you can find them cheaper (which you can *GQ tobaccos*),then its a solid steal. Contemplating buying a box.

Outstanding value. You wont be disappointed. Medium strength and burns well. Construction isnt the best but hey theyre 6 quid a stick. A regular in my rotation for days when I decide to have a smoke midweek or a weekend when Im chilling out but dont want to splurge on a more expensive cigar. About a 40 minute smoke taking it easy. Better to take lighter occasional puffs for that nutty flavour otherwise it can get a bit full on the palate and tasting some pepper. Depends what youre after

Oliva Serie V Belicoso Cigar - 1 Single
by Thomas
Ive been smoking cigars for about a year, developing a knowledge of what I like and this stick has revolutionised everything.
A great chocolate cream heavy flavour without being flavoured has really changed my outlook.
Absolutely incredible!

Wow, this was such a pleasant surprise! Excellent draw, even burn throughout, very smooth even to the end. Big flavour but not overwhelming a decent 1 hour 30 minute smoke, lovely aroma.
