I really liked this one for an affordable smoke!

I don’t know about this one. The few I had started with a harsh taste that turned into your average “cigarillo” taste right up under the end. Maybe a bit of chocolate here or there, but mostly woody and peppery.
I’ll leave the rest to sit for a while, maybe they get better with age.

Initial impression – extremely, extremely mild taste. First third I wasn’t even sure that it was tobacco. The flavor does pick up after a while, with mild earthy hints, but not a lot else going on. The body of the cigar is extremely well made, very even burn, zero canoeing, quality wrapper and very tight wrapping making for a very pleasant to hold solid cigar, with no draw issues – a true Oliva through and through. Decent stick to keep in the humidor for a novice friend, but for the price point you can definitely get more memorable sticks from other brands out there.

Amazing for me personally. Ordered 2 with a bunch of others for testing so I didn’t get too many samples but I was blown away by this cigar specifically. Agreed with previous reviews, mild and earthy notes with hints of chocolate, great smoke, no uneven burning, stayed tight all the way. Highly recommend for people just getting into cigars and those who prefer a less harsh smoke than average.

Medium, 35 min, solid white ash 2″, even burn all the way through, tight draw till last 3rd , visible seams and poor cap, harsh bitter on lite up, espresso, earth, spice nothing else, spice/pepper clung to the palate all the way through, at this price point I expected beter, there are better sticks for less, like Rocky Patel Edge, I won’t be getting more when this bundle is gone.
