Well made with good taste notes but sadly let down by the construction. Had to use the perfect draw tool on more than one occasion!

A really nice scent off of this cigar I really struggled to get a good draw off of it ,it was wrapped really tightly, what I managed to get was creamy with a roasted nutty flavour, if it wasn't wrapped so tightly it could've proven to be a really nice cigar .

Bought the sampler with the crow, unkind, cuco and jackdaw. this is the 3rd one of the sampler I've tried. Honestly I found this one a little bland to my taste and untrained palate. I got some citrus and biscuit flavours but they were not very strong. It stayed like that through the whole cigar. I did have some cracking on the cigar itself and the wrapper felt pretty dry, so possibly my storage of it wasn't sufficient to maintain the flavours. So far unkind is my favourite. Only the jackdaw left to try!

First time smoking this cigar and really enjoyed it. Plenty of thick white smoke and a mild to medium creamy, smooth taste. I accidentally cracked the wrapper and left in in my humidor for a good few months before smoking. But even with the cracked wrapper it burnt and smoked well. Would buy again, especially at this price.

Appearance and Construction:
This cigar displays excellent construction, with a firm feel in the hand and no noticeable soft spots. The pre-light draw is easy, offering a preview of what?s to come. Upon lighting, it reveals its quality craftsmanship with a slow, consistent burn, forming a tight ash chimney. Though there was some unevenness in the burn, this did not significantly detract from the smoking experience.
Aroma and First Impressions:
On the nose, there?s a distinct sweetness dominated by warm, aromatic spices, notably allspice and clove. These notes immediately set the tone for a flavourful experience. Upon lighting, the initial smoke is mild yet aromatic, carrying the scent of applewood that complements the subtle spiciness.
Flavour Profile:
The first draws reveal a sweet, creamy vanilla flavor that coats the palate with smoothness, yet remains refined and well-balanced. The applewood smoke adds a light, natural sweetness that intertwines with the vanilla, giving the flavour profile a gentle depth. The smoke itself is notably silky and luxurious, gliding effortles

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!
