Oliva Serie G Maduro, Belicoso, After 8 months in the humi

Oliva Serie G Maduro, Belicoso, After 8 months in the humi
Shape - box-press, 5 x 52
I give it a 89





--- Short ---
The cigar looks beautiful it draws right, burns smooth, long ash, good flavor If you like Maduros and want great quality at a fair price. I would say order a box now, and park it for 8 months



--- Long ---
Like I said the cigar looks beautiful, with a dark and oily Maduro wrapper.
The wrapper had a good aroma. When I pinched the Oliva Serie G Maduro Belicoso, it felt firm and full of tobacco.

The Oliva Series G Maduro Belicoso, made medium thick clouds of smoke. The first few puffs were mild. The flavor was that of a good Maduro with a bitter chocolate base with an enjoyable spice.




As I smoked into the first 1/3 of the cigar I was really impressed with this $2.50 stick.

The half way point.

The initial spice was now only slightly edgy. Leaving a hint of bitter chocolate with very mild tones of nuts and coffee.
The mid point only became creamier as I smoked, while this smoke was consistent in the Mild spectrum. The burn was even with a good firm light Grey ash.

After the half way point it was like someone flipped a switch from mild to medium. The cigar went from good to great.



(The first ash dropped off after careful removal of the band)

The smoke became very smooth and the bitter chocolate faded, while the flavors of coffee and nuts picked up, and the spice began to slowly come back into this cigar.



The half way point construction was good. The burn was still even, and producing a firm Grey ash with a very attractive oily ring at the burn line.
The finish stayed very smooth and creamy while the mildness of this Oliva Series G Maduro, Belicoso built-up to medium-full.

    Great review! I've got a box of Oliva G Maduro box pressed perfectos that look very similar. They're very good now; glad to hear they'll get better with some more time in the humi!

    nice review. I just had an G Maduro Belicoso about a week ago. And with about 6 months, these things are really a treat. Well worth the investment!

    I had one on Friday. Outstanding smoke. I was at a Gurkha event and pulled out a tried&true Oliva G after my Gurkha Doble Maduro split and unraveled when I punched it. The Oliva is always a better choice IMHO.
