Really just an echo of what others have said. Beautifully made, great draw, not too strong, good burn, lovely flavour. Value for money is extremely high. If you have several little luxuries regularly competing for your wallet, the high quality of these cigars at this price leaves no excuse not to include them in the list. Lovely with espresso.

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...

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!

Pleasant mild 1/2 hour smoke, woody with a bit of spice. Well constructed easy draw. Great little cigar for the money.
