Oliva Cigar Co. to launch new “stonger” cigar.

Cigar Insider recently had an article about
Cigar Insider reports that Oliva Cigar Co. is working on a stronger cigar, that will be released to a limited number of retailers.
I think this is great news.
I’m a big fan of the Oliva company and their cigars.
I think they have a great story and some extremely well constructed stogies.
Unfortunately I don’t smoke too many of them because I’m always drawn to my more “full bodied” favorites.
(though the master blend is a thing of poetry)
I had a chance to meet some Oliva reps at local cigar shop a while ago and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
It was clear that they thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the company too.
It’s always nice to see people with a passion doing what they love - the end result being a great product.
I am thrilled at the prospect of a new bolder Oliva.
The Cigar Inside article says..
A company representative will visit each store to give a personal overview of the philosophy of the cigar.
Called Oliva Serie V Ligero Especial, the cigar will be made with top-priming Nicaraguan Habano-seed sungrown
wrapper, with binder and filler grown on company owned farms in Nicaragua.
Wow I’m sold!
Say no more!
… but they did…
“We set out to make the fullest-bodied cigar we can make, while still keeping balance,” said Jose Oliva, vice
president of the company, which rolls cigars in Nicaragua.
…
The cigars will come in five sizes, the thinnest of which
will have a 52 ring gauge.
…
Two sizes will also be made in a maduro version using Connecticut-broadleaf wrappers.
Each will be made with a Cuban-style, three-seam cap, a first for the company.
…
The cigars will be released in June, prior to the annual
industry trade show
…
The line will also include a culebra size - a true rarity in
the cigar world today…
Wow!
Maduro… minimum of 52 gauge… June… culebra…
This sounds like a potentially great (and fun) product.
I can’t wait to see / try it.
Only 42 retailers in the USA will carry it - I hope a shop here has one or two.
And to the Oliva company - if your reading this - I’d be happy to review one if you’d like.
