I thought I would give one of these a go courtesy of the reputation afforded to the maker and the reviews I have seen here and elsewhere. First impressions were of a bit of fragility in construction, especially around the cap, which I found a bit delicate and an attempt at punching failed so I resorted to a follow up cut which still resulted in some peeling. But after a bit of tidying up it turned out OK. First light was pleasant followed by nuts and mellow fruitfulness to coin a phrase. It opened up nicely and developed over the next period. But the final third became a bit dull and monotonous, with just deep smokiness and little else. I got a gentle 1 hour 20 out of it. I was mindful of the strength profile as described, I veer towards the medium end in my preference, if your taste is for the fuller variety then this may be more to your liking. So overall quite decent, happy to try, but I doubt I'll be coming back for more.

Just finished the Mighty Brickhouse Double Connecticut. A 6.25? x 60 ring gauge stick. A medium strength long smoke. A Sweetness with every draw & a very mild white pepper finish. 1st third is hard work because of the length but the remainder provides a good buzz😊
Overall, a not too bad long smoke for not a lot of money. Not overly complex in flavour but definitely good value.

Great flavor, smoked this cigar at a wedding perfectly short and delicious, did need to touch up 3-4 times because of the uneven smoke.

I think the 3 star rating is accurate for this one, first third was boring and underwhelming, around the half way point it started to get interesting and the final third was actually really enjoyable but sadly started to peel on the last third too. Better than a Henri Winterman corona at least but wish i bought the Inka secret blend corona instead, far better smoke for less than a tenner

Oliva Serie V Double Robusto Cigar - 1 Single

My, it shows how tastes and opinions can vary. I tried one of these after reading reviews here and elsewhere, including in many supposedly learned journals highly commending them. The result? In my opinion a dull, monotonous smoke dominated by too much spice and lacking any balance, or nuance in flavour. Hugely disappointed.
