Had this sitting for a little over 5 months from a CP sampler. Very good stick, smooth, tasty creamy smoke, and complex evolving flavor. Construction was great aside from a crack that formed on the foot early on, its been repaired with some cigar glue for a while and performed great. I like this more than the Serie V, just a bit less than the Melanio.
Great morning smoke. Definitely going to consider a box in the future.
Flavour was great, but it had a large knot I was unable to massage out didn't burn properly until about 3/4 done.
Smooth and creamy. I would smoke again. One of my favorite connecticuts
Everything is fantastic except the most important thing. Short on taste. I don’t normally smoke Connecticut shade. 4 days in the humidor. Used a deep crown cut. Excellent tip of the torch light. A bit on the soft side but not problematic. Cap was great. Good burn. Ash was dark gray and held on for a good two inches. Great draw and smoke volume. A little spice, slight coffee, but a bit of a burnt tobacco note that hangs around in the after taste as well. I’ve found the Oliva lines are very different from one another and run a very wide spectrum as well.
Great cigar with a coffee. Mild and smooth. Good draw and burn front Olivia as always
One of the better Connecticut’s I’ve had. Will definitely be picking up more to keep on hand for morning smokes or when I’m in the mood for something a little more mild and mellow.
