I've had about 10 or more nice Cubans but this was
lovely smoke
Can someone tell me why bit after half way it tasted
salty as I really do not like that if their are any ways to prevent it
I was drinking red red wine 🍷 by ub40
Which is a very nice sweet wine I rarely find a wine that's nice yet alone one that is extremely compatible with an amazing cigar
first time ever re buying a cigar that's how nice The sweetness is
It was at Christmas when I had this cigar so am trying to remember
I think it tasted of vanilla and a sweet flavour
Then as I've said it got salty which was annoying as I didn't want to stop smoking the cigar/stick
Was honestly the most enjoyable smoke so far
I will say I need to learn not to smoke it so often as I've heard of others to smoke then wait for a minute or 2

A very mild to medium body cigar.,
Draw was very light, beautiful sheen on the wrapper minimal veins and superbly constructed if not however a little soft and under filled, burn was lovely and even.
Moist wood/forest earth aroma to the prelight wrapper with hints of cocoa , creamed expresso body with a nutty, earthy finish during the duration of the smoke.
Smoke frequently as the burn can tend to fade quickly, light draws keeps the cigar ticking over nicely without having to really stoke it up to obtain a flavourable aroma.
A good 40/50 minutes smoke
Brewed coffee makes a perfect combination!

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 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!
