The filler and binder is a blend of Nicaraguan tobacco. As soon as you fire up this cigar, you are hit with a creamy vanilla flavor with a hint of toasted almonds. The flavor lasts throughout the whole smoke leaving a sweetness on the palate. The Oliva Connecticut Reserve is offered in 5 different sizes. This cigar is everything you expect from an Oliva cigar with a mellow body. The construction is perfect and burn is always consistent. You can’t go wrong with these. Oliva fans will love this cigar as a morning smoke.
