Episode #7 Oliveros International


In the Cigar Ministry Lounge I review the Oliveros International. As much as I wanted to like this cigar, it left me completely flat and bored. Being made entirely of Dominican filler, binder, and wrapper, (Puros), one would expect a mellow smoke. If there was ever a rating below "mild" this cigar would surely fall into that category. On the plus sides this cigar did show great construction a nice even burn with a good draw and lots of blue smoke. Following up on my survey on the question..."What is the most over-rated cigar?" Overwhelmingly you answered and it pretty much boiled down the Three brands. 1. Ghurka 2. Cohiba 3. CAO..In the news...A message from Christian Eiroa alerting all to get 'em while you can! The triple maduros are limited to a number of 300,000 cigars this year! In the email segment is a offering of Cigar 411 answering the question, What determins a cigar's characteristics? As a side note, Episode #8 will come out the week after next as I am taking the family camping in the mountains of Western Mass. RSS FEED
