OLIVA SERIE V CHURCHILL EXTRA

• 5 on the Top 25 of 2022 by Cigar Aficionado
• 95 Rating by Cigar Aficionado

The Oliva Serie V Churchill Extra earned 95 points from Cigar Aficionado. It also ranked No. 5 in the Top 25 Cigars of 2022. The cigar measures 7 inches by a 52 ring gauge. Its strength runs from medium to full. Therefore, it suits long evenings, slow meals, and calm weekend breaks. The long format gives rich taste with smooth control from the first draw.

First, Oliva uses Nicaraguan tobacco for the wrapper, binder, and filler. The blend also includes specially fermented ligero from the Jalapa Valley. This leaf adds strength, warmth, and deep flavour. Meanwhile, the Sun Grown wrapper brings more spice and body. As a result, the smoke feels bold but still smooth. The long Churchill shape also gives each note time to grow at an easy pace.

At first, expect cinnamon, baked apple, nuts, and raisin. Soon, soft mineral notes start to rise. Then, coffee, dark chocolate, and warm spice add more depth. The Oliva Serie V Churchill Extra keeps these flavours clear through the long smoke. Meanwhile, the 52 ring gauge gives each draw a full feel. Yet, the cigar never feels rough. Finally, the finish brings nuts, spice, fruit, and dark tobacco.

Overall, the Oliva Serie V Churchill Extra gives a deep Nicaraguan taste with a fine balance. It works well after dinner or during a slow night. Also, its award history adds strong appeal for cigar fans. Pair it with espresso, dark rum, or rich whisky. Choose it for bold flavour, smooth strength, and a long, warm finish.
