Oliva Serie V Torpedo

Oliva Serie V Torpedo
This cigar was very balanced throughout the whole smoke.  It mostly carried some notes of coffee, but a little bit of caramel rested on the palate.

Yes, but I'd rather grab the Oliva Nub Maduro instead of this one; although, I must admit that this cigar was very good.

This cigar had a nice, inviting, creamy smoke.  It kicked off with some peppery notes and a crescendo of chocolate as the smoke went on.  I liked the stick a lot even though it was not very complex; it had a classic maduro taste throughout the whole smoke, which I liked.
