Hand made in Esteli, Nicaragua, the Oliva Connecticut Reserve wraps an Ecuadoran-grown Connecticut broadleaf tobacco around perfectly blended Nicaraguan filler and binder. The color of these puros is a delight to behold – deep golden brown with the slightest hint of oiliness. The well-packed puros burn evenly and produce an ash with staying power. The taste ranges from peppery at the beginning to a toasted nut flavor that turns buttery, followed by a pleasant slight sweetness at the end.
