Default Flor de Oliva (4 different wrappers)

First off, sorry if the title was a tease but right now there is only one review I recently purchased one of each, a Maduro, Corojo, Gold and Natural (Cameroon I think, correct me if I am wrong.) Tonight I smoked the Maduro.

It started off with your typical coffee and cocoa maduro flavors, but with a little extra. A little bit of earthiness and a slight bit of pepper. Draw is a
little tight. Mid way through the flavors are still pretty much the same, with a little more sweetness. The draw is still tight but the cigar is burning well. Near the nub the pepper flavors picked up a little more, and a bit of harshness came in.

Overall, this cigar gets a 7.5/10. While I wasn't amazed by the cigar I thought it was decent. The draw was a little tight, but I did just pick it up from the B&M yesterday so it might be a little wet still. I chose to smoke this one because it was the least "squishy" out of the four. Burned well, one touch-up was needed because it had a dead spot but besides that fine.

Of course I would prefer a regular Oliva maduro, but for the price these are great. I wouldn't hesitate to pick up a bundle for $40 and sit on them for a while.
