Oliva Connecticut Reserve

The Connecticut Reserve is the latest and most anticipated offering from the Oliva Family. This is the first Connecticut produced by Oliva and has exceeded my expectations. Although mild-medium in strength, the Reserve is surprisingly flavorful and richer than most cigars with this pedigree. Expect creamy smoke with flavors of toast, roasted peanuts and sour dough. The extensive aging of these tobaccos is also evident in the incredible mellowness. Construction is perfect, but what really stands out is the smooth, slightly velvety, golden brown wrapper.
