Flavor Ladder
Initial notes: The large ring diameter delivers an extremely rich smoke, with initial notes presenting a strong earthy aroma, a brown sugar sweetness, and the scent of fresh leather. Mid-section: The flavor gradually becomes richer, evolving into a complex flavor profile of deep caramel, bittersweetness, and dark roast coffee beans. The extra-large ring diameter ensures that the smoke remains cool throughout. Finish: The finish is explosive, with oak aromas intertwined with the spiciness of black pepper, and balanced by the sweetness of the Maduro wrapper, creating a long-lasting aftertaste.
Reasons for recommendation
- Ultimate satisfaction: The 60 ring gauge provides ample smoke storage space, resulting in a smoother and deeper flavor evolution, with a single cigarette typically lasting over 100 minutes.
- Golden Balance: Despite its massive size, the masterful box pressing process effectively controls the suction resistance, allowing it to find a rare golden ratio between full-bodied richness and smoothness.
- Maduro Essence: A large area of the Sant'Andrés wrapper participates in the burning process, amplifying the unique dark chocolate flavor and natural sweetness of the Maduro tobacco leaves, and offsetting the bitterness that high ring gauge cigars are prone to produce.
- Visual impact: The deep, glossy black coat, combined with his imposing figure, gives him an unparalleled leadership presence in any social setting, making him an excellent choice for high-end gifts.
Oliva Serie V Melanio Double Toro Maduro is an elegant behemoth that is not only a challenge to one's smoking endurance but also the ultimate tribute to Maduro's art of blending.
