As mentioned in previous reviews, an easy draw which I prefer, the wrapper held tight till the end, but the burn was uneven half way through, the flavour was a little harsh for my tastes, a little better than a Henry Wintermans, it took me a little under 20 minutes to smoke, good for the price but I've found I'm more of a medium to full bodied cigar smoker, again enjoyed the easy draw but that's about it

Superb price, and found the construction, burn and draw to be uncompromised compared some cheaper cigars that I've had. As far as smoking experience and flavour went it was good but didn't wow, hence 4 rather than 5 stars. I would buy again but doesn't quite make my top choice list. Will be pleased though if their petit corona that I will be trying soon meets similar standards.

Have had two of these now, both good smokes, at the stronger end of the flavour scale. On the last one with a glass of decent port I didn't want it to finish. But have to say I still might not buy another as after exploring the cigar market a bit more I feel you are paying too much for the brand, and similar quality is available for significantly less. If you're not watching the pennies I'd recommend this fully, if you are I would suggest looking at the similar El Credito exquisitos or Alec Bradly black market punk, or ideally trying all three and deciding on your favourite.

Another good offering from Oliva,a lot more mellow than the series g and v cigars,these are perfect for chilling out with if you haven't had a big lunch or haven't eaten in a while but fancy a smoke,slightly nutty and good rounded tobacco flavours,I'm going to have to give Mitchell's own Oliva stogies a blast in the near future!

agree with the previous reviews about the wrapper being a bit shoddy on this one,and the draw being a bit on the easy side I think its because they feel a bit underfilled,however I enjoyed the flavour,sort of a slightly one dimensional spice that improves the longer you smoke it and complements the slight bitterness in a way I wasn't expecting,its probably a 3star smoke but for the price I give it 4

Oliva are now without a doubt my favourite non Cuban brand,this cigar was dark,rich and memorable and the box pressed design is done with almost scientific precision,thumbs up!
