Appearance: The wrapper is a medium-brown, smooth looking piece of art. No veins are present looks to be packed with tobacco. The label is silver, maroon and gold. 9/10
Construction: Made by Olivia, this is a well made cigar. A nice sturdy, double cap is present and there are no soft spots, hard spots or any other concerns about the construction. 10/10
Burn: There was lots of smoke present with this cigar. Thick, heavy smoke and it burned exceptionally well. One of the cigars I had to let rest for a few minutes and when I came back, it started right back up. The ash was about 1-1.5 inches long and was very gray and sturdy. No flaking. 10/10
Aroma: I was a little disappointed in the aroma as it was very plain. Nothing but tobacco to note. 6/10
Draw: Draw was very good. No hotspots and the line kept a very straight edge. 9/10
Flavor: Flavor was okay. I guess I was expecting a larger profile from this (maybe from the looks) but it just didn’t appear. A little bit of spice and coffee but not much else. 6/10
Availability: Again, online exclusive. 7/10
Personal Overall Experience: I got these for about $2.50 each on cigar bid. I don’t think I paid too much but I just wish it had a better flavor and aroma. For the price though, it was not bad at all. I would not make this a special moment cigar but it could find a home in the yard cigar, poker game cigar area. I can’t stress enough though as to how WELL it was made. Nice job Olivia. 24/30
Total: 81/100
