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

First time I've tried some from Olivia. This cigar was very complex and strong with a chocolate brown oily wrapper. Started off slow and not much to taste but then the pepper kicked in along with the smooth chocolate flavours and mellowed out towards the last third with some creaminess. Make sure you have something to eat before hand. It gave me abit of a light head. I enjoyed this cigar very much but it wasn't for me. If you like medium to full cigars then this is for you.

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

Oliva Serie G Cameroon Cigar - Tin of 5
by Stephen
These are great little cigars. The construction is fantastic, with a sharp burn line and white ash that holds on till almost the halfway point. Quite flavourful, beginning with a toasted nutty taste, mellowing out to a smooth smoke with hints of bitter dark chocolate and a subtle spiciness throughout. Would buy again.

These are a sublime smoke. I found mine quite easy going but not lacking in flavour. These will be regulars in my collection.

I enjoyed this cigar, leather was certainly the most prominent flavour for me. In the second third I did get small choc and some coffee. I wish that lasted longer but it was mostly leather. Not my favourite but I enjoyed the smoke. I have 2 more so will leave them longer. Minimal strength which is good as I'm a lightweight and have 2 - 3 cigars a year when the mood takes me. Nicaraguan tobacco is my preference so far to be honest. Looking forward to trying the V I have resting up. Can see why these are top rated. Only had to relight once bt that was probably me though. Found 1 toke every 30 second was good.
