The Oliva Serie O delivers a delicious smoking experience with a salty, earthy flavor punctuated by tasty dried cherries and hints of cocoa and cedar, featuring tasting notes of almond, cocoa, leather, and wood that mingle with hints of molasses before a medium-bodied finish layers the palate. With rich tobacco, cedar and coffee flavors, the complex smoke is complemented by a medium-bodied spiciness that makes this Cuban-influenced Nicaraguan an excellent celebratory cigar. Handcrafted in Estelí, Nicaragua, Oliva Serie O debuted in Cigar Aficionado's 'Top 25' back in 2012 with an impressive 94-point score and has been named one of Cigar Aficionado's Top 50 Cigars. For this Nicaraguan Puro, the masters at Oliva chose Habano seeds grown in Esteli, Condega and the Jalapa Valley to produce the perfect filler tobacco. Bound together with a smooth, flavorful Habano leaf and wrapped in a silky, sun-grown Habano wrapper, the Oliva Serie O excels from the inside out. Made in the original Cuban tradition of growing the same Habano seed in diverse regions of the country to produce a distinct blend, this blend was achieved by growing Habano in Esteli, Condega and Jalapa Valley. The cigar represents Oliva's commitment to traditional Cuban techniques while embracing the distinct character of Nicaraguan tobacco, continuing the legacy established by Melanio Oliva in 1886. This is a classic Oliva blend that helped put them on the map, with the highly acclaimed O cigar series offering a diverse range of robust flavors that are chewy and rich, yet smooth from start to finish. It's an ideal addition to any collector's humidor and makes this Cuban-influenced Nicaraguan an excellent celebratory cigar. The Serie O has maintained its reputation as a reliable, everyday smoke that delivers premium quality at an accessible price point, embodying Oliva's philosophy of producing consistently exceptional cigars without the premium pricing of other major brands.
