A little bit of an airy draw but didn't effect the burn. Great smoke production. Always a smooth smoke.

Appearance

A rich cocoa nibs flavor, followed by notes of cedar, coffee beans, gritty earth, cinnamon and a small amount of citrus peel. The red pepper is strong enough to make an impact on the profile, especially when combined with the milk chocolate sweetness that is very much present.

Not particularly a fan. Muted the regular Melanio flavors in favor of a grassy, earthy undertone. Retrohale isn’t bad. Overall disappointing

Very nice lancero, well rolled. Somehow soft to the touch, but it did burn just fine and had a very good draw, too. Classic Oliva V flavors: wood, cedar, chocolate… a treat!

Fantastic cigar: beautiful wrapper, a few veins, almost seamless. Sweet raisin in the cold draw. Good draw from the start, plenty of creamy smoke. Cedar and chocolate in the first third, some black pepper, a proper flavor bomb. Gets stronger in the sections third, leather and coffee notes take over. Strength stays in the last third, with earthy, leather finish. A winner!

I V-cut this Double Toro 6x60 soft box pressed beauty! There are a couple veins on the surface, seams are nearly invisible, very light tooth, and a nice oil sheen to this tasty Sumatra wrapper. I am an inch into the 1st third and the draw is a little on the loose side (4/10, 10= plugged). Burn line is razor sharp and the ash is tight and white. Smoke is cool and copious, medium + strength and bidy. Great notes of banking spice and coffee on the pallete and retrohale. Toasted caramel and Mexican chocolate. Moderate finish and a light cream smoke texture. In the 2nd third the strength gains a notch. There is a delicious tobacco sweetness on the front of the palette with light coffee, toasted caramel and slight mesquite note. The retrohale brings a light pepper to the back of the throat and a baking spice sweetness. Construction is impeccable. The ash is nearly 2 inches long and the burn line is slightly wavy. So far flavor is steady as a rock, smoke is cool and finish is moderate with a creamy smoke texture. Here at the very start of the final third I need to slow my pace. I can feel the cigar beginning to warm up a full finger below the burn line. I am getting a delicious cinnamon note on the retrohale and toasted caramel, coffee and a faint oak on the palette. The cigar has cooled down a little now and the burn line is perfect once again. Construction on this stick is magnificent. Medium + strength and body. The toasted caramel is still there along with the coffee and mesquite notes. Cinnamon note on the retrohale with a light pepper on the back of the throat. Chewy smoke texture and a long finish. Half way through the final third and the strength just rocketed to full power. Coffee and mesquite are the main tones on the palette. Toasted caramel, baking spice and mesquite are heavy on the retrohale. Overall this has been a fantastic smoke all the way to the nub that will be a frequent visit in my rotation.

Great start only thing really standing out for me is coffee and some dry oak but good smoke burn and draw. Second third has a little bit of pepper on it with some chestnut and a creamy texture to the smoke. Last third really dies though

Beautiful construction, Cut perfect on first try with double guillotine. Cold draw; leather, cream and hints of coco. Initial light adds some black pepper, and light toast to the mix. Draw is slightly loose, but not bothersome. Cedar builds through first third. Burn is excellent, but not razor sharp. Halfway through a stronger flavour of tobacco begins to take over the creaminess, and develops a hint of clove. In the final third pepper builds with strong cedar flavour, but never does it become harsh.
