Oliva launched the Nub series back in 2013. Over the years these sticks have continuously grown in popularity with this Connecticut edition leading the pack. After a surprising short burst of spice upon lighting up, this stick quickly evolves into a mellow to slightly medium bodied thoroughly enjoyable smoke. The overall characteristics of this cigar changes as you increase its ring size but remain smooth and balanced throughout.

This great brand traces its roots back to 1886 when Melanio Oliva began growing tobacco in Cuba. After the revolution his grandson Gilberto went to Spain and then settled in Nicaragua. In 1995 Gilberto and his son Gilberto Jr. launched the company.
When the “V” came to market in 2017 not only did it get a 95 rating, it was awarded as being the #3 Cigar of the year. Since then it has consistently rated over 90 year after year. This dark, oily wrapped beauty is a very robust, extra full flavored stick that remains totally smooth throughout yielding plumes a thick wonderful aromatic smoke. It’s like a Porterhouse Steak of cigars!

Scoring a 92 and becoming a top 25 cigar for the year says it all! I’m a huge fan of African Cameroon wrappers on any cigar. On this edition, its especially tasty. This stick is a mildly spicy, medium to slightly full bodied smoke with a cool burn and complex taste. I highly recommend a five pack of 3×58’s.

When the pure Nicaraguan contents of this edition are encased in a very dark, oily Brazilian maduro wrapper it seems as thought the needle on the taste meter moves to the higher end of the scale. Starting off in medium bodied range, this stick quickly elevates in strength and intensity as you move along. Oddly enough, its strength is is tempered with coolness….but strong it definitely is.

If you’re a fan of Oliva cigars, you’ll agree that this company delivers what you pay for. While their super premiums are priced fairly considering the great sticks they are…….they ain’t cheap! When the Flor De Oliva bundles of value-priced premiums were launched, the company made it very clear that everyone can now enjoy their brand every day for around $3 each! Even those folks that smoked long cigars with big ring sizes.
The Original edition is a medium-bodied stick that burns slowly and increases in intensity as you move along. I’ve often smoked the Churchills halfway down and thrown the rest away without any guilt!
