In my opinion, the finest cigar that Olivia currently makes or has made as of yet. There are endless cigar choices out there and many excellent cigars, but this is one of the few that actually sets itself apart from even those that are excellent, and becomes "iconic". Certainly far less well-known (&/or promoted) then CA's former COTY-winner (the Oliva "V" Melanio) or even their Nub and/or Cain lines, sits this masterpiece, and the critics got it right when they scored it a 96 & a 95 because this cigar is not only excellent, but it sits in that rarafied air that makes it one of a kind, as just like (for example) you can always tell when you are smoking an "aged" Padron because of that "aged" flavor solely Padron is able to produce, or just as you know you are puffing on an Aladino "Corojo Reserva" because of that top-quality, century-plus heritage Corojo which only the Eiroa clan can dell out, this cigar has all of the components of a great cigar; full-bodied, flavorful, earthy, woody (mostly cedar), some notes of chocolate, coffee, floral hints, BUT there is a flavor of grassyness that this cigar has which sets it's identity apart to where one always can tell when they are smoking an Oliva Master Blend 3. Rarely are cigars wholly unique, and usually whenever they are, it is not because of a good or positive difference, however in this case, Olivia has put forth their best work ever.

My favorite by far. I've smoked about 40 of these and around 60 of others. This is the sweetest and best flavor. I just ordered my third 20 bundle.

These are probably the only Oliva cigars I smoke. They hit it out the park with these Master Blends 3

excellent cigar
