Flor de Oliva Maduro Toro

The La Flor de Oliva Connecticut Robusto combines Oliva’s tried-and-tested Nicaraguan character with a light and particularly approachable Connecticut profile. A silky Connecticut wrapper from Ecuador envelops an Indonesian binder and an all-Nicaraguan filler. The result is a mild, creamy cigar with notes of cedar, nut, earth and a subtle peppery spice. A natural sweetness and occasional hints of honey lend the smoke additional smoothness. The classic Robusto format ensures a compact, harmonious development and is ideal for connoisseurs seeking an uncomplicated premium smoke offering excellent value for money.

La Flor de Oliva Connecticut Robusto in the classic format

The Robusto measures 127 millimetres in length, with a diameter of 19.8 millimetres and a ring gauge of 50. This classic format allows for a smoking time of approximately 50 to 60 minutes and immediately brings out the delicate Connecticut flavours. The light-coloured wrapper has a smooth to slightly oily surface and gives the cigar an elegant appearance. The smoke volume remains pleasant and complements the cigar’s creamy character.

Ecuadorian Connecticut with a Nicaraguan core

The Connecticut wrapper from Ecuador provides the blend’s smooth and slightly sweet character. Beneath this lies a binder from Indonesia, whilst the filler tobaccos are sourced entirely from Nicaragua. This combination adds more structure and spice to the otherwise mild character. As a result, the cigar does not come across as one-dimensional, but develops various woody, nutty and earthy facets as it is smoked.

Cream, cedar and subtle nuttiness

The opening notes feature cedar, earth and a subtle peppery spice. After just a short while, the smoke becomes noticeably creamier. Hazelnut and a subtle honeyed sweetness provide a soft counterpoint to the spice. As the cigar progresses, leather and light toasted notes emerge. The peppery spice remains present without overpowering the mild character. This creates a balanced flavour profile that pairs particularly well with coffee and will appeal to both newcomers and connoisseurs of mild Connecticut cigars.
