I actually left the last review in August, but this cigar is so good I just had to review again. After smoking a few more of these since August (last one on my birthday this week), I have fallen in love with this Oliva V Lancero even more. I would say possibly my favourite cigar to date, and I have smoked over 100 brands / variations of cigars. This is right up there with Padron 1964 Aniversary and La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amore for the best dark coco notes, spice and salty earth. The only thing I would say is due to the thin ring gauge these are not suitable for outdoors unless there is zero wind. They also taste even better with a few months of ageing in the humidor. Amazing cigar!

Not bad, on light up it was definitely a note of cedar 1 third into second was still cedar pepper comes through mid way which was really nice last third was really nice came to life well. The only downside was bad burn, I was constantly topping up the worst side burn ever. But all in all not bad. 👌👌👌

There?s a saying amongst aficionados, which is Oliva rarely makes a bad cigar.
As a huge fan of their Serie V Melanios, I was recommended this Seleccion Orchant in their St James store and it did not disappoint.
Slightly on the full bodied side, but packs one heck of a punch in flavours and smoke creaminess.
Looking to order my next one soon.

Not bought from cGars, but smoke these on a regular basis.
What I do is soak some cotton wool in vanilla essence (make sure it has evaporated before smoking), leave it in the tin for a few days. Its kind of like a poor mans way of flavoring cigars in a humidor, then you get a hint of sweetness with the mild woodburny taste.
Not a cigar smoker , but moved on these from smoking other small cigars and cigarillos and these are the mildest and best quality for their type.

Zino Nicaragua Gordo Cigar - 1 Single
by RICHARD
Great cigar. I usually smoke Davidoff Aniversario Special T which are 2 1/2 times the price of this Zino cigar. The Special T definitely had a bit more strength in the tasting notes but the notes are very similar. The main difference is that this Zino cigar has no white pepper and also has a short finish. I would recommend this cigar for someone who wants a smooth cigar with a short finish. Great with Cola or coffee but Scotch would over power it.
