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

Cohiba Siglo III Cigar - Pack of 5
by Blair
I Enjoyed this cigar emencley on a sunday evening with a large single Malt whiskey, true to Cohiba form these cigars were perfect golden brown 42 gauge beauties, i left them to rest in humidor for a few days before smoking and was not disappointed, the Siglo 3 had a good even burn throughout with an easy draw giving plenty of aroma from the rich smoke filling the evening air, this cigar smoked well throughout with the woody start leading into more spice in heart of the cigar, with a nice black ring ahead of the dark ash suggested a good oil content and grown in great soil.
These will be a permanent addition to my Humidor along with their little brothers the Siglo 2s again not disappointed with Cohiba range simply excellent experience start to finish.

I received this as part of a 'short but sweet' sampler & found it to be the tightest cigar I have ever encountered. The band came away as soon as I touched it & having toasted & lit the cigar it went downhill from there. Unsmokable, a very disappointing experience which I allowed to expire & disregard. Needless to say I shall not be purchasing again. I thoroughly enjoy the Montecristo Purito as a 10 minute 'beer garden' smoke & my experience of the 'Open Master' was delightful. Unless you enjoy trying to suck a golf ball through a hose pipe, buy something else...

Delicious cigar, a lovely draw & plenty of smoke. Starts really creamy & builds into a leathery not too spicy finish. I will order more, for the price it overshadows many others. I think I may have just found my favourite smoke!!

What a great litte cigar! I didn't cut too well which left the bottom of the wrapper starting to unravel but that is my own fault. From looking at the foot you can see it is a well packed and has a great aroma. I lit it with a match and was initially worried it was a little too tight however it just became a smooth firm draw. Great almost cuban flavour, sweet, spicey, tangy, cedar and a touch of leather with quality tobacco. Burns very well and held the ash for the first half without falling and this was outide on quite a windy day! Not much in the way of flavour transition but when it is this good that doesn't matter. Great value for money I think I will be getting some more of these!

There's a reason why Montecristo's have a formidable reputation when it comes to cigars. First time trying the No 2 and I'm completely sold. The draw on this was heavenly (straight cut). Burn is consistent as expected from Montecristo's. Construction flawless, and if that wasn't enough this stick produces some of the best flavours that one's palate can indulge: I got nutty and spicy notes with the last third slightly creamy. A must-try people, you will not regret it!
