Cigars Of The Day - Olivia G Maduro and Chillin’ MoosesteemCreated with Sketch.

in #cigars7 years ago

A couple cigars today were enjoyed, I am going to keep this one super-brief. I haven’t posted in a while and just wanted to get something up!

Firstly, an Olivia Serie 'G' Maduro which combines heavy Nicaraguan fillers with a dark maduro wrapper.

Wrapper: Nicaraguan broadleaf
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Vitola: 4.5x50 (Robusto)
Price: $5

Summary

The Oliva G is an amazing value for a premium cigar. One of the things Oliva is best known for is their maduro leaf. Smooth, sweet and a very rich smoke combined with a low price and high quality construction.

Wrapper: Connecticut Habano Rosado
Binder: Ecuador Sumatra
Filler: Nicaraguan, Dominican, US Broadleaf, and Mexican San Andres
Vitola: 5.25 x 45 (corona)
Price: $2.10

Summary

For a $2 cigar it is hard to go wrong with a Chillin' Moose. What you save in money comes at the cost of a somewhat blandness to the flavor profile, as well as a general taste of un-refinement. That being said, many people enjoy the Chillin’ Moose, and I do not regret for a second the price I paid for a box. The Chillin Moose is perfect for daytime yard work, or to give out to new cigar smokers.
