Oliva is one of the best nicaraguan cigars on the market with lots of awards and it's also famous for excellent quality tobacco.
Made exclusive for us, Oliva Orchant selection Cigar range is available in 3 different sizes exclusive to C.Gars Ltd.
Today I am sampling the Chubby guy of the selection which is exactly his name, Oliva Chubby with 4” length x 60 ring gauge. A very popular size in the UK.
We tried to make this cigar especially for all the Havana smokers; Even if they are constructed in Nicaragua you will find them very close to the Cuban Palate.
The presentation is lovely, boxed in 10’ with a nice construction composed by Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper as the Oliva V Melanio series, the most exclusive and selected line made by Oliva, and Nicaraguan binder and fillers.
I would like to advise our customers to use a big blade cutter, something shorter than 56-60 ring blade can damage the cigar.
This Chubby begins very sweet, woody with a few notes of white pepper on the palate.
The cigar is leaving a very rich medium strength sweet smoke which reminds me of a

I did enjoy this for a short easy to travel cigar. I drank a strong coffee with it and this complimented it well. I thought it was light to medium rather than medium flavor.
The draw was good, and lasted for about 25 mins. The flavor was peppery and smooth.

I have just smoked this while on a windy walk with the dog, so no coffee or beer. I too found it one dimensional, however I really enjoyed it. It had easy draw, good feel and burned really well.
I would happily buy again.

In my 20s and this was my first big cigar, having tried a couple cigarillos before.
On arrival I kept it at 70% humidity in a humidor bag for 2 weeks.
Quality:
Dark oily wrapper.
Really smooth smoke, white ash that never fell off.
Razor sharp burn until it got 2/3 done, when a bad wiggle appeared and it went out (ash related?), but was nearly ready to finish then anyway.
Lasted over an hour outside.
Flavour:
Nice rich tobacco flavours.
I think I could taste coffee/chocolate (yeah i'm new).
Definitely tasted leathery as it got to the halfway point down.
Drink with cognac and coke helped clear the occasional bite at back of throat.
Strength:
Could be a bit strong in nicotine for new people (like myself).
I had several meals before and shared this, and I still got a big nicotine rush for 5-10 mins. Although I didn't feel unwell at all.
Delivery:
Cgarsltd delivered in a bubble-wrap padded jiffy bag, with the cigar inside their own high quality custom card/plastic boxes to help prevent crushing damage.
Got some leaflets and a humidor bag.
These also came in their
