Oliva Serie G Toro

As the second largest grower of tobacco in Nicaragua, the Oliva family's generations of experience in the industry has served them well. They grow some of the finest crops in the world and are known for using the most skilled rollers and blenders in the country to create legendary cigars. With a firm, leathery African-Cameroon wrapper, the well constructed Serie G is a good-looking stick. Nicaraguan Habano long-fillers are blended to produce a flavor rich in character with hints of coffee, nuts and wood. The aftertaste is both peppery and sweet. Our panel found the cigar smoked smooth and creamy down to the nub. The Serie G received a stellar "91" rating from Cigar Insider and ranked 11th on Cigar Aficionado's "Best Cigars of the Year" list. As one of our panelists summed it up: "Overall, a satisfying, fuller-bodied cigar worthy of its makers." Wine of the Month Club members can enjoy the Serie G with this month's Devon Vineyard Merlot. Or choose a favorite full-bodied red of equal stature.
