Oliva Connecticut Reserve Torpedo stands out by wrapping rich Nicaraguan long filler and binder tobaccos in a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper for a mellow to medium yet decidedly flavourful profile. Rolled in a tapered 6 1/2 x 52 format, this Torpedo focuses the smoke through the pointed head, concentrating its creamy, buttery texture with notes of cedar, toasted nuts, coffee, and a light peppery kick on the retrohale. The well packed construction is known for an easy draw, even burn, and sturdy ash, delivering a relaxed session that can comfortably stretch beyond an hour without becoming harsh.
Handmade in Nicaragua at the Oliva Cigar Co. factory, Connecticut Reserve is blended as an approachable expression within the Oliva portfolio, offering a smoother, more easygoing take on the brand’s Cuban seed character. The Torpedo size lets you fine tune the cut and draw, from a narrow opening for a cooler, slower burn to a slightly wider clip that opens up more smoke and sweetness. Its balance of mild to medium strength and layered flavour makes this vitola a natural choice for morning or early afternoon enjoyment, as well as for enthusiasts who want a refined Connecticut wrapped option that still feels distinctly Nicaraguan.

The Oliva Connecticut Reserve is my favorite cigar of all time with its vanilla cake like flavor notes. Very creamy and sweet right down to the last draw. so good i never want to put it out. If it’s not in your budget go for Flor de oliva Gold which IMHO comes a very close second (See my review on it). Excellent construction as it is with all Oliva offerings.

For someone who leans towards Maduro cigars, this is my favourite Connecticut by a landslide. The absolute best mmild to medium cigar for me. Creamy, vanilla and perfect with a premium coffee. If I could afford it, this would be my daily morning stick.
