The Oliva family of cigars may be one of the most popular brands of premium cigars in the US. But they didn’t get their start as a family of cigar makers. Instead, for over 135 years, the family has earned and maintained a reputation as one of the finest tobacco growing families in the world. A little more than 25 years ago, the family decided that their best path forward was to create a line of premium cigars that would bear their name too. They came out of the gate with strong offerings that were excellent quality cigars at value price points. This helped them quickly establish a reputation in an industry dominated by big names like CAO and Rocky Patel. Their brand has evolved over the years to include some of the best selling premium cigars in the world. They continue to make outstanding cigars at great prices.
The Oliva Connecticut Reserve is a wonderful mild-to-medium bodied cigar. It is constructed using a delightful blend of long-filler Nicaraguan tobaccos along with a Nicaraguan binder leaf. It is capped with an almost glowing, golden-colored Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper. This flavorful Torpedo is a great companion anytime day or night. It is mild enough to be your first cigar of the day, yet packs enough flavor to satisfy the palate after a heavy meal. You can expect notes of cream, light coffee, and cedar in this smooth operator.
