By Eli “Sarge” Vidal
The Oliva Cigar Company is one of the most respected and reputable cigar manufacturers in the world, and the Serie V Maduro Toro is one of their most popular and highly-regarded offerings.
This cigar is a Maduro, which means it has been aged longer than a traditional cigar and has a darker color and richer flavor as a result. In this expert review, I will take a closer look at the Serie V Maduro Toro and evaluate its construction, flavor profile, and overall smoking experience.
Construction
One of the first things that stands out about the Serie V Maduro Toro is its impeccable construction. The cigar is beautifully crafted, with a smooth and oily wrapper that is free from any significant blemishes or imperfections.
The cigar feels solid and well-packed, with no soft spots or irregularities that might affect the draw. The cigar’s cap is well-formed and cuts cleanly, with no fraying or Cracking unraveling of the wrapper. The draw is smooth and easy, with just the right amount of resistance to provide a satisfying smoking experience.
Flavor Profile
The Oliva Serie V Maduro Toro is a complex and flavorful cigar with a rich and nuanced flavor profile that develops and evolves as you smoke it. The first few puffs are full of bold and spicy notes, with a peppery kick that tingles the tongue and lingers on the palate.
As the cigar continues to burn, the flavor becomes more complex and layered, with hints of dark chocolate, espresso, and leather. The smoke is rich and full-bodied, with a smooth and creamy texture that coats the mouth and provides a pleasant and satisfying smoking experience.
Towards the final third of the cigar, the flavor profile becomes even more intense and concentrated, with a more pronounced earthy character that is balanced by a subtle sweetness. The finish is long and satisfying, with a pleasing aftertaste that lingers on the palate.
