Oliva Master Blends III

A highly enjoyable cigar I picked up as a single from an order on cigar.com.

The initial lighting has a harsh pepperyness to it, but it quickly subdues to an herbal, chocolaty or cocoa taste with a woody dryness to it. The aroma is rich and creamy with an overall sweetness to it with some herbal undertones including a woody scent. This cigar evolves as you smoke, with some layers overpowering others at different points.

I’d like to try this in another size, I had the box-pressed torpedo. I’d like a larger size for comparison, mostly for curiosity’s sake. There was a lot too discover in the aroma and perhaps a larger size will make that more fun. We’ll see!
