The Oliva Serie V
For those of you that truly enjoy a full bodied cigar but not an IN-YOUR-FACE full bodied cigar,have I got the perfect one for you. The Oliva Serie V. the V is an ALL Nicaraguan Ligero leaf beauty that doesn't really flex it's muscles until you exhale the smoke through your nose. That is when you realize its power and richness.
Construction: very nicely rolled. It is a very solid cigar with a beautiful wrapper. It's so pretty I want my picture taken next to one to set on my desk.
Burn: Very nice and even burn with a strong white ash showing off its excellent aging.
Draw: I found the draw was close to perfect,with just the slightest resistance.
Taste: I didn't care for the very beginning much. It started off like a medium bodied smoke with , I thought , a bit too much pepper,but about an inch into it,it developed a
nutty,earthy flavor with a slight cedar sweetness. The notes of pepper remain through-out the smoke,but at a much more appreciative level. TASTY,Tasty,tasty!
Finish: This is one of those cigars that require a toothpick at the end to save your pinkies from burn scars. I smoked it right to the pick!
The Oliva Serie V is one terrific cigar! (My favorite Oliva so far).
I think it earned an outstanding "O O O O" smoke rings,and,if you put some of these in your favorite humidor and just leave them be,in the future you'll have a great smoke that rivals most of the Cuban cigars out there.
That's all for now and as always.........
