Default Oliva Ovation

So this past weekend I was out trolling around looking for Nub Tubos. I ended up finding Oliva Ovation cigars. Not knowing what I found I only bought two. when I got home I posted a pic on a oliva forum and immediately found out what it was. And bombarded with requests to pick some up for others. So curious to see what others are talking about I'm about to light one up and see for myself. . .

here goes my first 10 year old cigar.

the cello is slightly colored.

pre-draw very light.

initial bite very peppery but ending smooth.

1/8th in the initial peppery bite has gotten less peppery but it's still there. think I have a hint of chocolate.

Really enjoy this cigar, I've been sitting on a couple of the Orion's. Interested in hearing what you think. They've been smoking very well for me.

The stick remained peppery throughout. It was still a wonderful stick and when I get a chance I'm going to be heading up to that shop to pick some more up.

Excellent find. Oliva makes some good cigars. I believe I've had a Ovation once or twice years ago. Didn't dissapoint.
