Oliva Serie V Torpedo Cigar

OLIVA SERIE V TORPEDO CIGAR

• No. 4 on the Top 25 of 2007 by Cigar Aficionado
• 93 Rating by Cigar Aficionado

The Oliva Serie V Torpedo earned 93 points from Cigar Aficionado. It also ranked No. 4 in the Top 25 Cigars of 2007. This award confirms its rich taste and fine balance. The cigar measures 6 inches by a 56 ring gauge. It offers full strength and around 60 to 90 minutes of smoke time. Therefore, it suits a long evening or a slow weekend break.

First, Oliva uses a high-priming Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrapper. This dark leaf gives the cigar warmth, depth, and a rich finish. Next, a Nicaraguan binder supports the blend. Nicaraguan long filler then adds firm body and steady flavour. The filler also includes special Jalapa Valley ligero. As a result, the blend feels bold, smooth, and well matched from the first draw.

At first, expect rich coffee, dark chocolate, and deep tobacco notes. Soon, black pepper and warm spice begin to grow. Then, hints of earth, wood, and soft caramel may appear. However, the smoke keeps a smooth edge through each stage. The pointed head also lets you control the cut and draw. 

Finally, the Oliva Serie V Torpedo gives strong taste without harsh heat. Its large shape allows each note to build at a calm pace. Moreover, the smooth texture helps balance the full strength. This cigar suits skilled smokers who enjoy rich Nicaraguan blends. Pair it with coffee, dark rum, or a bold whisky. Then, add one to your humidor and enjoy its award-winning character.
