Oliva Serie O Maduro

This evening I smoked an Oliva Serie O Maduro Torpedo and I have to say I really enjoyed it, being my first time smoking this particular Oliva.

Here’s my ICRS review:

Pre-Smoke

Scent at Foot: Sweet, “tobacco barn”

Appearance: Oily sheen, dark, beautiful construction

Feel: Hard throughout, feels like it’s packed and rolled tightly

Tongue: Sweet, tingly

Flavor on Draw: Can’t pick up anything in particular, other than the maduro sweetness

Smoke

Taste: Sweet, hints of coffee and some cocoa here and there

Flavor Changes: After the cigar got to the 2/3rds area, it started really opening up with the maduro flavor and rich tobacco flavor.

Strength: Med-Full

Feeling: Very relaxed mood right now, this only helps!

Scent of Smoke: Rich maduro aroma, pleasant, “not stinky”

Heat: None

Draw: Fairly tight in the beginning, but opened up along the way.

Finish: Sweet maduro finish, with rich tobacco flavors. Long finish.

Other: Beautiful Ash, great construction, good burn…….

FINAL RATING 7.5

That wraps it up, here are some pictures!
