So, I got two of these after buying an Oliva sampler back some time ago and smoked one and Loved it so today I wanted to finally do a review of this beautiful cigar. I'll be pairing todays review with a vintage PepsiCo Mountain dew 2021 one of the better years for sugared sodas. Seriously i can't wait to review this cigar so enough time wasting text and let's get on with it! Wrapper: Darker milk chocolate wrapper with minimal veins. Appears to have some plume at the cap Draw: Draw is perfect with just enough resistance. Flavors are sweet tobacco and coffee ![]() ![]() Lots of earthiness at the start, chocolate, coffee, dried fruits, kola nuts, nice creamy finish to it, white pepper, slight sweet tobacco, The earthiness is so rich i feel like i can taste the soil, slight spice starting to develop, The cigar has a mustiness to it that i’ve only found in well aged cigars, Smoke output is solid to start, a very slight bleach taste hits me from time to time, ![]() Still has that musty earthiness that reminds me of rich volcanic soil, chocolate, pepper, dried fruits, kola nuts, still has a nice creamy finish to it, toffee, spiciness, coffee, Hints of cayenne, My tongue is starting to buzz a little which is nice, ![]() Very earthy still with the soil part no longer there. More creamy than before, chocolate, dry fruits, kola nuts, pepper, Spiciness with hints of cayenne, Tongue is still buzzing, Ash/Burn: Ash held nicely throughout with only a couple flakes shedding, Burn was very good but not perfect but it didn't require any major touching up Final Thoughts: This cigar starts out very earthy and chocolatey with not a lot of spice and pepper but it builds towards that into the 2/3rd. Since smoking the first Master blend torp I became an immediate fan and ordered a box of robusto's and with prices for a bundle not being that bad I highly recommend you buy a box if these flavors match what you like. You really can't go too wrong with Oliva these days. I even enjoy the series O and G for what they are. Burn time on this was SLOW. this cigar wanted to take it's time and I appreciate that and it's a testament to its construction. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this review today! Tomorrow I'm back at the doctors office so I doubt I'll review anything then. Have a blessed day and God bless you all!

I got a box from holts for $89 with free shipping but i've seen Atlantic cigars sell bundles into the high $60. You just can't miss with oliva these days. God bless you!

That’s a classic blend. Often overlooked because so many cigars and blends are available.
For the price point they are amazing. Even removing price point and only look at the blend, it’s a great cigar.

Yes they were. I've enjoyed the IIIs I have smoked, but the Is were fantastic.

I have had MB1, and it was very good. Live the MB3 torpedos. IMO the other shapes aren't the same. Maybe it's a mental thing. Thanks for the review Jason
