Oliva Serie G Maduro Belicoso Review

Oliva Serie G Maduro, Belicoso, After 8 months in the humi
Shape - box-press, 5 x 52
I give it a 89





--- Short ---
The cigar looks beautiful it draws right, burns smooth, long ash, good flavor If you like Maduros and want great quality at a fair price. I would say order a box now, and park it for 8 months



--- Long ---
Like I said the cigar looks beautiful, with a dark and oily Maduro wrapper.
The wrapper had a good aroma. When I pinched the Oliva Serie G Maduro Belicoso, it felt firm and full of tobacco.

The Oliva Series G Maduro Belicoso, made medium thick clouds of smoke. The first few puffs were mild. The flavor was that of a good Maduro with a bitter chocolate base with an enjoyable spice.




As I smoked into the first 1/3 of the cigar I was really impressed with this $2.50 stick.

The half way point.

The initial spice was now only slightly edgy. Leaving a hint of bitter chocolate with very mild tones of nuts and coffee.
The mid point only became creamier as I smoked, while this smoke was consistent in the Mild spectrum. The burn was even with a good firm light Grey ash.

After the half way point it was like someone flipped a switch from mild to medium. The cigar went from good to great.



(The first ash dropped off after careful removal of the band)

The smoke became very smooth and the bitter chocolate faded, while the flavors of coffee and nuts picked up, and the spice began to slowly come back into this cigar.



The half way point construction was good. The burn was still even, and producing a firm Grey ash with a very attractive oily ring at the burn line.
The finish stayed very smooth and creamy while the mildness of this Oliva Series G Maduro, Belicoso built-up to medium-full.

Re: Oliva Serie G Maduro Belicoso Review

Man this is on of my favorites. It is a nice cigar and the price is hard to beat for the quality of tobaco you are smoking.
