Oliva Series "V" Double Robusto

Specs:

* Length - 5.00 Inches
* Ring - 54
* Wrapper: Habano Sun Grown
* Binder: Nicaraguan
* Filler: Jalapa Valley Ligero
* Vitolas: 7 Natural

This is a beautiful cigar! Check out the pics of the label, foot, band, cap whole, cap cut and wrapper:





Nice Stick!! Pre-light draw is firm but smooth. Wrapper is mildly spicy with a hint of leather. The foot of the of this cigar is tight and clean and lit easily generating a medium gray/ white ash. Burn is fairly even and draw opened up slightly after initial warm up. Smoke is medium in density with a blue/gray color - smells de-lish!! Taste in the mouth is toasty with an undertone of espresso and earth.
