This cigar consists of bold Nicaraguan Ligero leaves inside a spicy Nicaraguan binder, finished with a dark and oily Mexican San Andres Maduro wrapper. Similar in stature to the original Serie V blend, Serie V Maduro has added sweetness and complexity, making it a prime choice of discriminating connoisseurs since its introduction. Upon lighting, the palate is greeted with a burst of spicy white pepper and cayenne, which is soon followed by rich cedar and coffee. A lingering note of cocoa and cinnamon reside in the background, each characteristic usually associated with top quality San Andres Maduro leaves. The finish is rich, and the cigar is bold from the first puff to the last.
1x Oliva Serie V Torpedo (6" x 56, ●●●●● Full, Rated 93). Selected by Cigar Aficionado as the 2007 #4 Cigar Of The Year. Made by the top rollers at Oliva, Serie V Double Robusto consists of Nicaraguan Jalapa Valley ligero fillers, a spicy Nicaraguan binder, and a gorgeous sun-grown Ecuadoran wrapper. This is one beast of a cigar, and well it should be, as it helped start the “powerhouse” cigar movement, when tastes went from full-flavored to extremely-full-flavored. Beginning with a powerful blast of white pepper and unmistakable Nicaraguan spice, this 5" x 54 oily flavor bomb shows absolutely no mercy as it transitions into a rich, woody adventure speckled along the way with notes of coffee, cedar, and cocoa.

1x Oliva Serie O Toro (6" x 50, ●●●●○ Medium-Full). Known as the predecessor to the infamous Serie V, this cigar is a Nicaraguan puro—wrapper, filler, and binder. The heavily aged sun grown Habano wrapper featured on the Serie O makes this a luxuriously smooth and rich treat for any connoisseur. The plentiful draw produces ultra-rich white smoke, bombarding the palate with heavy spice and hints of milk chocolate and cinnamon. Oliva Serie O is a cigar that every cigar smoker should try at least once. Full-bodied, yet mellow and never overpowering, Serie O is a great introduction to heavier cigars for a beginner or intermediate.

Cedar, earth, and rich spice are all very apparent throughout the finish is just as bold and absolutely fantastic.
1x Oliva Serie G Churchill (7" x 50, ●●●○○ Medium). A hearty blend of spicy Cuban seed Nicaraguan filler and binder tobaccos form the core of this high-end stogie.

The experience progresses with floral aromas and subtle hints of cinnamon and brown sugar. This cigar remains rock solid as a great choice for novices or anyone who wants a medium-bodied go-to cigar.
