Oliva Serie O Robusto Review

After being impressed with other Oliva smokes I cannot wait to try this one!

I did wait for a couple of weeks for it to stabilize in the humidor after I bought it.

It smells slightly sweet and mostly earthy before lighting.

After I cut it I was happy to find that the draw was just right… not too firm or too loose.  The construction is very firm throughout leaving me to believe this will be a long lasting robusto!

Once lit, the flavors were mostly toasty and cedary initially.  In the second third, it began to a develop a sweet peppery finish that was accompanied by a strong nutty flavor.  The last portion remained the same as the second third.

The mild-medium Oliva O made a great early evening smoke.  Very pleasant flavors that matched up well a Nut Brown Ale.  One interesting thing to note is that it parched me quite a bit, but the beer helped take care of that problem.  I would highly recommend this cigar to fans of milder smokes.  There have been some great deals online for these also.
