Oliva

Serie O Maduro

Spicy, smooth draw, leather

Full of espresso, leather, and earth. Deep dark tones without bitterness. Subtle touches of some spice. Slightly tight draw but the burn stayed true. Denser construction.

Not terrible, just not my jam.

Nicely constructed, smooth and subtle veins. Cut nicely. Cold draw, firm but good. Earthy and cedar my notes, some hints of coco. First Third, strong notes of cedar and coco, hints of cream and straw. Second third continues as the first. Remains a mild cigar through to the end. Nice cigar overall.

Little sweetness, some spice, expresso

Good draw and burned nicely. I think I prefer the regular Serie O over the Maduro version, but this is pretty nice. It came in a sampler from cigarpage so you can't beat the price.

Burn line straight, but at an angle at the beginning. Tried to touch it up but continued at the same angle. Draw was a little tight. But nothing too serious. Plenty of smoke, but just a little thin. Spice notes on the retrohale and wood/earth notes on the tongue. Started developing spice on the tongue at the half way point. Overall the cigar was a good smoke, just not overly impressed with it. Will I buy it again? I don't know...maybe?

Chocolate/medium black pepper lingers on the pallet, gives way to leather in 2nd. Strong pepper on retrohale. Nice smoke. Bold flavor.

Nice smooth cigar. Good draw. Nice flavor even though I could not identify the flavors
