Appearance - Very light Connecticut wrapper....almost transparent.
Draw - Standard easy drawing Oliva cigar
:-)
Taste - creamy, smokey, slight hints of sweetness and penut butter
Ash - Flakey, gray
Smoking time - One hour, 16 minutes
Overall a very enjoyable experience. The cigar did have a little twang and a little spicey feel on the nose exhale.
Overall I'd give this cigar a
92 out of a 100 and would highly recommend this cigar to a beginner or a frequent smoker.
Thanks Oliva and Ian!!
:-)

THanks for the review Scott! Sounds like it was quite an enjoyable cigar.

I'm with Chippewastud, 60 would feel hot compared to the crap we have been getting.
