Flor De Oliva Cigars

Great everyday smoke

Great everyday smoke. I got a couple on the advice of a friend. The first one I had, I clipped the cap and some wrapper problems. The others I used a punch, and didn't have a bit of problems. Good flaver, mild to medium. Nice solid ash, medium draw. I'm going to get a bundle or two to keep in the humidor. Great cigar to share.

Decent cigar for the $

Good everyday cigar, can't beat the price.

Not bad, but sweetened...

Not a bad cigar, but know that it's slightly sweetened. (the product description is pretty clear about that) If you like slightly sugary cigars, then you'll find this one da-bomb. If you don't, you'll find it pretty good... except for the sugar. That said, the sweetness is not overpowering like some cigars. It's very subtle. Cigar has a nice firm draw, even burn, ok taste. Nothing to stop the presses over... but not bad at all for the price.

You guys with wrapper problems...

This cracking wrapper situation is easy to fix. Carefully remove the plastic by cutting it lengthwise so as not to stress the wrapper tobacco leaf. Then give the whole cigar a light coat of rum with a paint brush. I find Captain Morgan to be best so far. Let it stand for about a half hour to lose its wetness, and then cut the head and smoke away. The dry, brittleness will be all gone and the cigar will be tough and flexible. If you get a crack or tear, put a little pectin on it (get pectin at the grocery store for canning fruit).

Solid Smoke -- Best Value

Amazing consistency in taste and construction -- good burn, mellow smoke with spicey notes. I'm not sure how the Oliva factory churns these out, but with the cost of these sticks around a buck, I'm not sure why I bother with more pricey alternatives. Oh, there's better sticks out there for sure, but I have yet to smoke a 5 buck+ stick that is anywhere near 5 times better.
