I gave this perfecto a quick toast and a quick light. Now, my past experience with perfectos led me to believe that a quick light is all that it takes to establish a "perfect" burn. This one I had to touch up about 2 minutes into it. However, from there on out, the cigar continued to burn true all the way to a finger-burning nub. Very nice, woodsy flavors come about with a zesty nuance to help carry them through. I am inclined to say that the zest is due to the Cameroon wrapper, which, wh...
I've been gravitating towards smaller cigars lately. I want the taste but not all the nicotine. Plus I find a 20 minute smoke more enjoyable than a 2 hour one.

A friend of mine had these and offered me one to try as I hadn't actually smoked an Oliva before. The cigar has an free & easy draw and produced volumes of smoke. The initial taste was a pleasant mixture of a kind of mild spicy tang with a sweeter fruity flavor with it....
