Country: Nicaragua

Shape: Parejo

Size: Churchill (7 inches x 50)

Strength: Medium

I’ve tried the Flor de Oliva before, but it was the Toro vitola. This one was a Churchill. Its size was bigger; therefore, I liked it better.

The Flor de Oliva Original Churchill is a medium-bodied cigar. It has a good draw, and it burns evenly. Its smoke rises like a coquettish belly dancer and quickly disappears. Every draw is a bouquet of Nicaraguan notes. It is an easy cigar to smoke, not too complex. Overall, there’s nothing to complain about.

I paired it with arak and smoked it while enjoying delicious Lebanese mezza.

From all of the Oliva cigars that I have tried so far, I still think the best is the Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado. But I would gladly smoke another Flor de Oliva again.
