Oliva has constantly made one of the best products in the cigar industry since their introduction in the 1990s. The newest release from 2009 by Oliva is the Oliva Connecticut Reserve. These cigars come in Churchill, Robusto, Toro, Lonsdale, and Torpedo shapes. Oliva has stated that they've lacked a milder connecticut wrapper cigar for quite some time. However, because the reserve wrapper on the connecticut blend has been aged properly and blended by a master blender you can expect nothing by the best of flavors and construction. As stated before, Oliva gave in to the wishes of the cigar industry in producing a milder cigar.

Of all the Oliva cigars, this cigar is the mildest. Since most cigar smokers love a mild flavor in a cigar Oliva had to jump on that bandwagon. This cigar can best be described as having flavors of mild nuts and buttered toast. The cigar draws perfectly and the construction is magnificent. Towards the end of the cigar you can expect some pepper and wood. The cigar delivers a lot of flavor towards the second half and changes flavors throughout. With each size of the Oliva Connecticut Reserve you can expect the flavors to change, but we're confident that these are the major flavor notes you'll find.

Oliva has selected a few fine stores to buy their cigars from. They're very selective in who is able to sell them. I'd suggest that you buy from a retailer that Oliva supplies to. You can find some of the best cigar stores by googling for the Oliva Connecticut Reserve line or choose some of our sponsors here. We have a list of trusted cigar sites on the left side of this page that you're sure to get quality service and products from. No matter what preferred cigar vendor you use, I think you will be happy with the Oliva blends and the new Oliva Connecticut Reserve line by Oliva
