NEW Oliva Conneticut Cigar

TripleF · 03-08-2009, 09:33 PM

Received my Oliva Connecticut earlier in the week from Ian (BengalMan) and enjoyed it today.

See next post for details......

TripleF · 03-08-2009, 09:39 PM

Appearance - Very light Connecticut wrapper....almost transparent.
Draw - Standard easy drawing Oliva cigar

Taste - creamy, smokey, slight hints of sweetness and penut butter
Ash - Flakey, gray
Smoking time - One hour, 16 minutes

Overall a very enjoyable experience. The cigar did have a little twang and a little spicey feel on the nose exhale.

Overall I'd give this cigar a 92 out of a 100 and would highly recommend this cigar to a beginner or a frequent smoker.

Thanks Oliva and Ian!!

Damn those 60 degree temperatures, I would have cracked the windows with that

THanks for the review Scott! Sounds like it was quite an enjoyable cigar.

I'm with Chippewastud, 60 would feel hot compared to the crap we have been getting.
