A good cigar, I was slightly worried when I chose this cigar as it felt slightly dry and a touch loosely packed but I pressed on and was not disappointed. The pre light smell was of cocoa and a bit of farmyard, on lighting it was very peppery which worried me as I dont like too much pepper but again I soldierd on. The pepper faded after 5-8 minutes into dark chocolate which stayed until the end where caramel and cream faded in and out. The draw was good as was the burn with no correction needed. A lovely lovely cigar if you persevere with it. There are better cigars for the price but not many.

One of my very favourite brands, Having smoked this and the punk the the taste is very consistent I get a creamy dark chocolate that dosent really change throughout, I detect no pepper which sometimes you find at the start of the cigar. I paired this with a long lavazzo expresso and a JD rye whiskey although a bulliet rye would be just as good. The ash on the robusto held until 1.5 where it dropped off which was slightly surprising as I thought it would hold on a bit longer, the burn and draw were good although I had to correct it once . A truely great cigar and will definitely be getting more.

Normally smoke Cuban but the last year I have been experimenting with new world and on a trip to Chester to top up humidor for Christmas I purchased one of the Oliva serie v belicoso. And after Christmas dinner went to humidor and couldn’t resist its beautiful outer wrapper. I found it a absolutely perfect medium cigar lovely flavours with a little spice what I absolutely love these are definitely a new favourite.

I received this in a sampler pack and I can honestly say itÂ’s the most awful cigar IÂ’ve ever had the displeasure of smoking. A hamlet is a better smoke then this! The smell of the cigar before it is lit smells strongly of a perfume, almost chemical smell and the taste after lighting is indescribable. ItÂ’s just utter garbage. Even though theyÂ’re cheap I wouldnÂ’t entertain the idea of buying one when there are MANY better sticks available on this site In the similar price range.

Not bad for an inexpensive cigar. Aroma and taste ok, lasted around 25 minutes from start to stub, well constructed (remained so throughout) so all in all pretty good value. Went well with the large glass of 10 year old Jura single malt whisky I poured to have with it!

Well what can i say about this tobacco? When I first opened the tin I was repulsed by the over powering smell of some kind of perfume or really strong Turkish delight! I left it over night then came back to it and the aroma had mellowed. I filled a bowl and tentatively lit up and WOW! What a difference, a beautiful smooth and really pleasant smell arose from the pipe, it tasted damn good too. It took me right back to my childhood when IÂ’d sit on the path outside my family home and wait for the old guy that lives a few doors down to pass by walking his dog and puffing on his pipe, it was that old smell that was rising from my pipe! Just magical, I highly recommend it just donÂ’t be put off by the initial smell when opening the tin. IÂ’ll be ordering more for sure.
