My first ever cigar was a vanilla one so I always appreciate the odd flavoured cigar. This cigar overall wasn't too bad. The tip was very sweet and the vanilla was very consistent. For the price I would recommend it.

I love these babies! There's a reason they're one of my favourites. Well rolled with a nice, subtle, sweet aroma. An easy draw with plenty of smoke. They hold their ash well and burn evenly. Smooth and nutty with a hint of fruit and spice is the best way I can describe the taste, the pre-draw is a kind of sweet woody. There's not a great deal of variation in flavour throughout, it gets a bit spicier towards the end yet maintains that amazing nuttiness. I've had these with single malt scotch, bitter lemonade, coffee, water, and even Weizenbier (German wheat beer). I smoke these down to the last 3/4 inch or so, I love them so much! For me, these are great. Perfect for when you want to enjoy a great, mild smoke, but don't want to spend too long. Admittedly, if you like a strong, complex smoke with lots of variation in flavour, these won't be to your taste. I try to have a few of these in my humidor at all times.

Simply delightful for the money, excellent smoke and no complaints! If you want an inexpensive short Cuban fix, look no further, may not be overly complex in flavour but has a lovely draw and a smoothness to the end!

A great smoke and if you're someone who likes maduros this is for you! A complex array of flavours changing with each third you smoke, very good smoke output, just below the 'chewy smoke' level up of smoke. Good construction and burn was razor sharp, about 45-60 minute smoke, just excellent.

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
