Flor de Oliva Corojo Churchill

Kreth · 08-20-2009, 06:25 PM

I got this stick in a bomb. I've been curious about the Flor de Olivas for a while, as I've liked the other Oliva blends I've tried.

Humidor time: 3 weeks

Prelight: The corojo wrapper looks nice, a few veins. Draw is moderate, tasting of cedar with hints of citrus and spice. The band looks incredibly cheesy.

Burn: The cigar had no burn issues. Ash was nice and firm. Draw was moderate. The burn time was about 75 minutes.

Flavor: This cigar had a great flavor: cedar, slight hints of citrus, and a nice spice finish.

Summary: I enjoyed this stick. It seems I'm starting to enjoy corojo wrappers as much as maduros. Plus, you can pick up these sticks really cheap.

Nice review. I recently tried all the different FdO wrappers and I found the corojo to be the best.

I like the Corojos and Naturals. The Maduros are only so so for me. Never had the Gold. For the $, they are a pretty nice smoke. Glad you enjoyed it.

I've had the toro size, and I agree. Nice cigar for the money. Good review, thanks.

Thanks for the review. I have had a few of these but it's been awhile.
