I have become an Oliva fan when it comes to new-world cigars and when I went looking for a cheap but a good hand made cigar, seeing these seemed the one to fit the bill. Been in the humidor for almost three days I thought to sample my first one, well sadly not the best. Quite dry which I hope is due to not being in the humidor for very long, but taste was similiar to other Oliva cinnamon with coffee notes I picked up on but really was too dry on the mouth to really appreciate the flavors I like so much from Oliva. I will re-review if the I believe 3 stars is too harsh, so fingers crossed.

Beautiful construction, although I frayed the wrapper a bit removing the band. Burn was fairly even and the draw perfect. This starts out spicy and woody and then develops smooth creaminess in the second third, with great coffee notes, and this seemed to persist through the final third. I'm glad I've got another for the humidor; it might need some friends!

I am sad that the last reviewer had a bad one, I have smoked 3 of these and I will be getting more, as the one thing that DO have is bags of flavour .also a good burn, lots of smoke that tastes so good I don't want to blow it away.
I you love a full flavoured Cuban , as I do, its nice to mix up the humidor a bit with some good new world sticks as well, so I say go on treat yourself.....

I'd had one of these in my humidor for about 6 months and decided to try it a few days ago. What a disappointment! Previous encounters with Oliva cigars had always been favourable but not this time. It burnt well and construction was good but they're the only things that this cigar had in it's favour. The first third was very harsh and left an unpleasant aftertaste and the rest was very bland. At times it seemed as if I were just inhaling steam. If you are considering spending your hard - earned cash on a petit corona give this one a miss. There are plenty of Cubans around costing less.

very nice construction with a nice and even burn all the way down. flavours are a little one dimensional for the first 2 thirds with just damp hay and earthy tones, but in the the final third you get toffee and brown sugar with a hint of nuts and then it comes alive. maybe a little over priced but i still would recomend it as it just wasnt quite right for my palate.
