From the renowned Oliva brand comes this gem. Named after its creator Gilberto Oliva, this medium-powered smoke is easily pair-able with a cup of coffee and provides plenty of sweet flavors. One could notice some buttered almonds, sweet cream, and cedar inside, along with a fair deal of oak and an underlying citrus peel touch.

The Connecticut Reserve is a cigar of remarkable quality and flavor that combines the cedar and cream aromas you crave, with the build quality that you have come to expect from Oliva. That powdery, butterscotch-colored Connecticut shade wrapper creates a buttery, mild-medium cigar flavor profile that is equal parts citrus-forward and sugar-laden, with nary a sign of strength along the way,

With its impressive construction, near-perfect combustion, and free-flowing draw, this blend's reliance upon darker, heavily aged Cuban-seed Nicaraguan long-filler leaves makes this stick one of our top options for mild-to-medium cigar smokers. This is another one of those staples in the cigar world that only seems to have gotten better over the years.
