Oliva Serie V Melanio

Flavor and Character

Nothing really jumps out of line; everything just settles into place. Near the end the smoke grows thicker and presses a little harder on the palate It leaves a low, steady warmth sitting in the chest for a while after it’s out. A little further along the smoke thickens and carries more weight on the palate bringing soft sweetness and a bit of dry wood into better focus. The change is slow, but it makes the cigar feel more complete.
