# Oliva Connecticut Reserve Review #12

Prelight: Hay

1/3: Cream and toast. 2/3: Graham cracker sweetness. 3/3: Light leather with continued honey sweetness. Wow this stick was amazing and caught me by surprise! I usually gravitate toward Maduro sticks, but I enjoyed this with my cup of black coffee. Coffee helps bring out the sweetness. By duskinwade on March 21 2023 3:40:05 PM

## Oliva Connecticut Robusto

Prelight: Hay

1/3: Cream and toast.

2/3: Graham cracker sweetness.

3/3: Light leather with continued honey sweetness.

Wow this stick was amazing and caught me by surprise! I usually gravitate toward Maduro sticks, but I enjoyed this with my cup of black coffee. Coffee helps bring out the sweetness. Different flavor notes in each 1/3 which was nice. Flawless construction with no touch ups needed. Nice long ash. I think this stick is a sleeper which gets overlooked due to many wanting a darker and bolder flavor. Much more flavor than I anticipated. Smoked down to 1.5 inch!
