Absolutely excellent ceegar, my daily smoke. Love em, hope they never stop making em. Price is incredible for what you get. Full smoke, nuanced flavors, just an all-around great ceegar.

Classic affordable option from Oliva.

At light-up, dark roast coffee with a black pepper retrohale. Fully into the first third with a double down on the coffee note. Salt and red pepper join the palate. The retrohale is now a mirror image of the palate. The nice long finish is also a continuation of the palate. The draw is nearly perfect, producing copious amounts of smoke. The burn is very wavy, but so far, acceptable. Coming into the second third and a savory note has pushed the heavy coffee note back just a bit. The flavor profile is well balanced and quite tasty. The retrohale remains consistent from the first third. The burn has straightened itself out and the ash is now stacking dimes. This full-bodied stick is performing admirably. Flavors are fantastic but I am not noticing any nicotine kick. Heading into the final third with no transition. The low humidity is causing the wrapper to crack. Hopefully it won't affect the smokability. The binder has cracked as well, but this is due to the windy 28% RH and won't affect the rating. As I smoke this to the nub, the flavor profile and retrohale remain consistent. The stick is not heating up. Final thoughts... Exceptional stick. Nearly perfect construction. The slightly complex and delicious flavor profile, along with the consistent and complimentary retrohale and long finish, make this a box-worthy stick. I did make it past all of the cracks. Weather conditions somewhat shortened the final smoke time of an hour.
