Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan

Light: Easy. Medium draw, bordering on the tight draw.

1st 3rd: Oily. Leather, sweet tobacco flavors and a slightly bitter aftertaste. Not bad so far. Smooth and creamy.

Ash: Light gray with yellow twinge and some ash bubbles. Nice structure as it holds on for about 1 ½”

2nd 3rd: Draw has lightened up a bit into a solid medium. Sweet, smooth, creamy medium body. Full flavor. Leather, oil, and sweet. Nice. Has a bitter twinge on the aftertaste, but not offensive at all. Perfect burn.

3rd 3rd: Just gave it a purge. Same flavors. Maybe a little less creamy now. Some woodsy notes kicking in. Actually, this is a really mellow, smooth, yet flavorful smoke. Very nice.

Overall impression: I would definitely look for more of these and / or recommend them to people looking for a really smooth maduro cigar.

Thank you Smoked! for this one! Still from the original review sampler ;)

Awesome review. I got turned on to these a few years ago through a pass - I think I picked up the double toro. Maybe I was smoking slow, but I remember putting the cigar down after 2 hours. It wasn't that I wasn't enjoying it, it just burned really damn slow.

I had an Oliva O Robusto a couple weeks ago - I dig em. Nice review Will.
