Superb cigar! Lit well, nice draw, plenty of rich grey smoke and a beautifully packed whitish, grey ash. It has a nice rich flavour but not too overpowering. I'm having it with a glass of neat Makers Mark and they are complimenting each other well. I bought this to go with a varied selection of holiday cigars and now I'm regretting only buying the one.
I'm halfway through and still the ash is sitting in one piece from lighting - not bad considering I'm sitting outside with a fair breeze blowing.
Oliva has always made fine alternatives to my favoured Cubans but in my option they are surpassing themselves these days.
Oooops! Took my eye of the ball and now have a lap full of ash - no matter, it was worth it.
Excellent smoke at an excellent price.

Perfect draw, burn and construction. Lasted a full 45 minutes. Wonderful flavours all the way down. Slight nicotine "hit," at the end but that was probably my fault for smoking it almost until it burnt my fingers. Didn't want to put this one down.

I really enjoyed this cigar, despite it being a bit one dimensional. Leathery was the main taste I got. Very smooth. It's a shame that it is priced in the same territory as Cuban petit coronas and marevas which are way ahead. Drop the price a few quid and it might be worth keeping a few in the humidor

H. Upmann Magnum 50 Cigar - 1 Single

Has Mild to medium flavour and the draw is perfect throughout the stick and delivers a nice coat of smoke on the palette. flavour wise first third is a a straight tabbacco and pepper which gradually faded into a creamy leather note, there's also a slight grass note which underlings the finish which reminds me a lot like the cohiba grassy ness you tend to get from the Siglo line.
Second third still taking the tobacco core pepper has dropped off and has been replaced with the grassy note which had previously been apparent on the finish in the first third now however finish is also stuck with the main characteristics with that creamy leather however there's been and introduction to a slight coffee and coco note which mixes with the cream to deliver a mocha note the only other thing to note is slight strength increase from first light.
In the final third the draw flavours are still the same the only change is the coco has faded off the finish and a salty liquorice has been replaced other than the the finish flavours are the same, also strength has had another increase. Good burn as

Cuaba Divinos Cigar - 1 Single
by Chris
I understand these are made by R&J so I was somewhat disappointed with the construction. A rather tight draw coupled with the wrapper coming loose after lighting didn't impress.
Although having to constantly touch up to stop it from tunnelling this was quite a nice cigar but because of the above mentioned problems I can't rate it above it's Oliva equivalent nor my two favourite cigars of the moment, namely the Inka Red Tres Petit Corona or the Bolivar Corona Junior.

I have to agree with the last review that whilst these look good they are far too harsh for me !
Smoked about the first third before I had to admit defeat. The one that I tried had a VERY strong flavour and was very harsh indeed.
Certainly not one for me and if the one that i had was indicative of them then be warned and only get these if you like a very harsh cigar.
