The Oliva Connecticut Reserve Double Toro screams "easygoing" with its 6x60 double toro format. Priced at $118.80 per box of 10, this Nicaraguan-made stick comes wrapped in Ecuadorian Connecticut shade leaf. We're talking prime afternoon smoke material here - no nicotine bombshells, just reliable creaminess.
The initial third hits with buttered toast vibes - think cashew spread on warm brioche. Minimal smoke output keeps it light, perfect with morning coffee. Midway through, cedary notes emerge alongside white pepper tingle on the tongue. Watch for occasional canoeing with this thick ring gauge.
Final third brings out the Nicaraguan earthiness - damp soil mixed with almond skin bitterness. Not the cleanest finish, but maintains smooth retrohale. Clocked 85 mins smoke time with two touch-ups. Partner with sparkling water to cut through the creamy texture.
