These Nicaraguan puros come in handy 4x38 cigarillo format - perfect for 20-minute smoke breaks. At $3.17 per stick (box of 50), they deliver that signature Oliva richness without demanding hours of your time. The Ecuadorian Habano wrapper feels slightly oily with tight seams, revealing sun-grown character right from the cold draw.
First Third: Immediate black pepper kick mellows into roasted coffee grounds. Cedar notes emerge around the 5-minute mark with subtle nutmeg undertones. Ash holds solid for ¾ inch despite the small ring gauge.
Middle Third: Core flavors shift to milk chocolate and cashews. Some users report slight uneven burning here - quick touch-up with torch lighter recommended. Smoke output remains moderate.
Final Third: Earthiness dominates with espresso bitterness. The last inch brings faint licorice sweetness but watch for increased heat - better to quit at 15-minute mark than risk harshness.
Rolled in Esteli's Tabacalera Oliva factory using triple-ligero filler from Jalapa Valley. The 6-month aged wrapper develops that signature reddish tint. Pro tip: Store at 65% RH to prevent over-drying these slender sticks.
