Oliva Serie V Melanio Robusto

Musty barnyard off the bronze, oily wrapper; milk chocolate off the foot. Smells slightly softer than its bigger sibling. Good, slightly loose draw, with cold draw notes of coco and tea

First light, straight up spicy coco crunch flavor bomb. Impossible not to feel the dry spiciness on my lips, tongue and throat. Sweet tobacco smoke of the foot that kept me coming back for more and, at times, burning my nostrils. Wow!

The cigar transitioned out the spiciness at halfway point, and blossomed into a sweet, vegetal savoriness. Towards the end, a gin-like floweriness settled on top of the existing flavors. Fabulous and memorable. What a wonderful, wonderful cigar on rainy, cold, dark night.

Oliva Serie V Melanio Churchill

Beautiful looking, flat box-pressed, cigar. Velvetty and oily looking wrapper that is darker than any non-maduro ones I've ever seen. My picture does not do the cigar any justice at all.

Smells of musty barnyard, fresh cut grass through the foot. Straight cut, good draw of....cured tobacco!

First light, perfumey baking smell of the foot. From the initial burn, all the way to the half point of the cigar, the stick tastes of very pronounced milk chocolate and leather reminiscent of a Trinidad Fundadores. Towards the later half of the cigar, the initial flavors remained but piled on with spice and earthiness that is also accompanied by a strong surge of nicotine. This is a delicious cigar

Although the burn remained consistent throughout, I didn't get that typical premium New World Cigar smoke production until I reached the first band. I can only imagine how much better this cigar would be if it produced more smoke - that is, if it does not knock me out entirely earlier.

As someone who started, fell in love, and fell deeper in love with Cubans, this churchill did the best job of opening my eyes to the fact that rich flavors can also be the forte of non-Cubans.
