Oliva Serie V Belicoso is driven by specially fermented Jalapa Valley ligero, giving this full bodied Nicaraguan blend rich intensity while maintaining a notably smooth, creamy texture. Handmade in Nicaragua, the tapered 5 x 54 Belicoso concentrates the smoke and delivers the bold coffee, dark chocolate, earth, leather, and spice profile for which the Serie V line is known.
A high priming Ecuadorian Habano Sun Grown wrapper covers a Nicaraguan binder and aged Nicaraguan long fillers, including powerful Jalapa ligero leaf. The blend opens with earth, roasted wood, and black pepper before moving into dark roast coffee, dark chocolate, cedar, leather, toasted nuts, soft nougat, molasses, and restrained natural sweetness. The pepper remains present but balanced, giving the cigar structure without overwhelming its creamy finish.
The tapered Belicoso head allows for a tailored cut and a more focused draw. This is a fitting choice for adult cigar smokers who enjoy full flavoured Nicaraguan cigars with rich tobacco character, depth, and a smooth, lingering finish.

This is without a doubt my favourite cigar. There is something about how they cure their leaf that causes the leaf to caramelize and the retro hale is so so dam tasty . You just want to light up another as soon as you finish one .

Great stick! Very, very well made. Tasty right up until the final third where it got a little too spicy for my preferences.

Good stick; nice draw and burn, good taste too, though I also got that sharp taste the other review mentions. The price is a little steep ($17.03 as of writing), but I may buy another as a special occasion smoke.
