Oliva Serie O Perfecto (5″ x 55) Box of 20

Oliva Serie O Perfecto

Oliva’s Serie O Perfecto is a cigar that screams heritage, a 5” x 55 figurado that’s pure Nicaragua from leaf to core. Rolled in Estelí, it’s loaded with Habano-seed tobaccos from Estelí, Condega, and Jalapa, wrapped tight in a slick, dark Nicaraguan Sun-Grown Habano wrapper. This medium-to-full smoke channels old-school Cuban puros, kicking out bold flavors that landed it a 92 from Cigar Snob and a 94 with a Top 50 nod from Cigar Aficionado.

Spark it up, and you get hit with earthy, nutty vibes, laced with dark tobacco and a cedar snap. Peppery spice keeps it lively, while a touch of cocoa sweetness and roasted nuts sneaks in, shifting as the tapered shape burns down over about an hour. The build is solid—clean draw, steady ash—though the wrapper might flake here and there. It’s a meaty, balanced smoke that holds its own against pricier sticks.
