Obviously, the dark wrapper of the Oliva Serie G Maduro is what stands out the most when looking at the cigar. Minimal veins are present, and the wrapper is quite oily. The Serie G Maduro has a box-pressed shape that looks great as well. A simple band displaying Oliva Serie G name over a mostly beige and gold color scheme sits near the head and fits the cigar perfectly. In terms of texture, this Robusto is smooth and firm to the touch. Prior to being lit, it has a sweet aroma and a cold taste of coffee.

Once in action, the Oliva Serie G Maduro Robusto burns like a champ. The draw is just right, and the burn stays even from beginning to end. No touch-ups or re-lights are necessary. The ash is gray and solid. So far, The Serie G Maduro is passing the test with flying colors.

The Oliva Serie G Maduro is not only smooth, but it is also packed with flavor. The strength is definitely medium, just as advertised. The cigar begins with a lot of coffee, earth, and cedar. The second third features more coffee, plus sweetness and chocolate. The final third is a mix of cedar and nuts.

Other than its eye-catching appearance, the Oliva Serie G Maduro Robusto also delivers in all areas. The cigar was a solid performer that offered plenty of flavors to keep me entertained. It is also smooth enough for beginners or experienced smokers. A single sells for around $5, which is a great value. The Serie G Maduro can also be found in packs of five or boxes of 24. I suggest picking up a box to keep around the house, as this is one quality cigar.
