Oliva Serie G Cameroon Cigar - Tin of 5
by Samuel
They’re ok, fairly good for the price but very one dimensional. Nice aroma of quality tobacco, taste of black pepper and a hint of coffee. Instead of buying a tin of 5 next time I will buy a couple of quality sticks instead. Overall a good short smoke if you don’t have time to smoke a proper stogie.

Ive been trying this for the first time over the past few days and just love everything about it. The aroma as you open the tin is not diminished when you light it. In the pipe it burns evenly and has a smooth taste with each of the tobaccos being highlighted and the hit of coffee caramel is present around you long after youve finished smoking. Its very pleasant on the palette and Ive been smoking it throughout the day. I would give it a mild to medium rating so might not suit those who like a stronger hit.

Very small cigar with a decent girth. Lovely smooth relaxing smoke if only it was full length as it left me wanting more of the same. Still, there is a goodly 25ish minutes to it so not too bad. Will definitely be reordering.

This is a real treat, I am a big fan of the Specially Selected Robustos, and this carries a lot of its bigger brothers sweetness, along with an impeccable draw and real appeal. I would concur with almost all the positive reviews in terms of flavour, mine was bursting with vanilla, camarmel and as another reviewer mentions, a biscuity taste too. A real pleaser and one I will make sure I am never without. By the way, this one had been in the humidor for about 18months and was very smooth and creamy indeed.

Now my new favourite smoke. Remarkably I got a flavours just as the tasting notes suggested. The floral part in the middle, Violets and Gin made me smile. Medium without harshness, started with warmth and then botanicals developed like a summers day. Will be buying many more.

This came to me as part of the Short and Quick Smokes Sampler. Its a neat little number, good firm construction and plastic wrapped. Not overly dry so smoked directly out of the wrapper. Started sweet and strong, plenty of body and tart tannin and burnt caramel making it a mild/strong but smooth flavour. It may be small but not necessarily a particularly short smoke for a 3 1/2 mini cigar. I easily obtained 30m from it and a strong stable ash stack. This is a small but mighty smoke, not to be rushed but relaxed into and savoured for all the lush vibrant flavour. Room note is sweet and mild and not in any way invasive. Downsides? Yes, left me wanting it to be much longer to have a decent amount of time to enjoy all it had to offer so a 4. VFM is definitely a 5 out of 5.
