I’m not an experienced cigar smoker and have been exploring Partagas and RyJ range. I took a punt on this based on reviews. It really wasn’t to my taste. Very bitter throughout despite immaculate construction and burn. No sweet notes and not creamy at all. Not a good introduction to the New World cigars. Maybe I just don’t like cigars dominated by bitter mocha flavours.

This is a light smoke, can retrohale the whole draw and it doesnÂ’t burn your sinuses. Great subtle flavour. I found the draw to be perfect. The only issue I had was the construction. It was burning at a 45 degree angle but no matter how often I tried it would just not correct. IÂ’m gonna try another and if it burns right I will get a box. Keep them for morning smokes. I will give it 5 stars as the uneven burn could have been the product of an uneven light. I was being nagged at the time!

For a Madura robusto this was actually a decidedly mild and easygoing smoke. Leathery and spicy at first, but as it developed more complex flavours were evident and it became much sweeter with notes of baked cookie, coffee and cedar. Altogether a pleasant 45-50 minute Saturday afternoon treat. It was a nice addition as the mystery cigar in the May subscription box which I would definitely consider buying more of and I can certainly recommend it as a good all round value for money cigar.

This is my honest review, i bought 2 of these due to the 5* review on here.
The draw was so tight for the first half on both to the point i nearly bin them.
The taste was spot on, I had mine with a hot chocolate my mouth was in heaven.
After taste in my opinion the worst part. It tastes like local anesthetic reminded me of being at the dentist and that the last thing I want to think about when smoking.
The burn felt of.

Oliva Serie G Maduro Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Benedetto
I got one of these in my first subscription box. It was the mystery cigar and what a pleasure it was I will certainly by ordering some when they are back in stock.
This was my first Oliva, and as i am partial to maduros, I was always going to be critical.
Nice draw with rich mouthfuls of smoke. Quite spicy When exhaled through the nose. Held it’s ash well and smoked right down to the last inch with chocolatey spicy flavours.

lit fairly evenly and stayed alight. A rough taste with the first draw and then a relatively smooth smoke thereafter. Unusually, i paired this with a fruity rose wine and it wasnt unpleasant. Would definitely buy again, and reasonably priced.
