Quick review on the Oliva V in a not so common vitola. The Diadema is a 6 x 46 gorgeous, extremely well constructed stick. IMHO, best flavor of the V series by a wide margin. This stick likes to be kept at a lower r/h of about 63 to 65% for a good draw. I've found that much more and the draw is too tight and you have to work too hard and it smokes on the hot side. Pre-light aroma is awesome, with sweet, deep, dark tobacco notes and a slight coffee background. Taste, fortunately, is the same. Absolutely great flavor, draws well, smokes cool to the nub and the burn - on the ones I've had - is razor sharp. What's not to love?
One of my top 5 favs for sure. Very highly recommended. Unfortunately, hard to find, at least in FL.
