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!

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.
