The pre-smoke inspection revealed a very well made box pressed cigar with tight construction and no major veins to contend with. This Oliva Serie G Maduro cigar presents an affordable, box-pressed puro with a dark and oily Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper. It burned well and required no touch-ups at all. The ash was a handsome light gray to white.
The flavor was not overpowering and earned itself a medium rating. After lighting there was a mild earth tone which stays consistent throughout the smoke as a warm and subtle spice builds. Towards the end it finishes with a warm and buttery leather taste.
This cigar took about 45 minutes to smoke and cost $4 (you can probably get it for $3 if you look around).
