Oliva Connecticut Reserve

Not as good as the series O. But just as delightful. Smooth draw, burns well and never a hint of harshness to the end!

My favorite cigar.

This is my favorite by far.

I enjoy the whole experience of smoking the Oliva Connecticut Reserve Torpedo from trimming the tip to my size preference, the easy lighting, the smooth draw, flavorful taste, even burn and good ash retention. It just works well for me. It’s my favorite smoke with a couple fingers of my favorite Single Malt Scotch along side.

Exceptionally smooth and always consistent. Can’t beat them for the price.

i like this robusto oliva

Good everyday cigar.. Unfortunately too many cigars are rolled too tight and almost impossible to get an even draw.

After trying many, many blends, this one is my "Go To" for special occasions.

3,5 pretty good

I really enjoy Oliva Connecticut Reserve Robusto and Lonsdale. It’s has great flavor and a good burn. It’s a great smoke to unwind with.

Nice flavor and draws well

I love Oliva taste and it's good Quality!

Very good burn, nice mellow smoke, well made, good with bourbon, I favor the Connecticut Nub smoke a little bit more.

Oliva's are always a good smoke and I've never been disappointed with an Oliva.

excellent everyday smoke/ draws nicely and has some flavor.

These are great mild smoke love them

I have tried many cigars, but keep coming back to the Oliva Connecticut Reserve Double Toro. Beautifully constructed, easy draw, and medium profile. Smooth and tasty!

My favorite cigar, smooth all the way.

Great taste Great smoke

Easy draw, lightly sweet! Addictive.

My favorite, excellent flavor and a very enjoyable smoke.

Cigar is smooth to draw and burns uniform. Excellent, my favorite

excellent service

Love Oliva’s My current Favorite Cigars

Very smooth cigar. Good flavor

Nice everyday cigar, easy draw, smooth taste, and always consistant.

If you favor a mild smoke…this the cigar for you!

All great

Great cigar that burns evenly and nice smoke. The price was excellent

Smooth taste and even burn

This is one of my favorite everyday cigars. It’s mellow and tasty and you’ll enjoy it everyday

Nice small cigars for a quick smoke. One of my all time favorites.

Even smoke, smooth draw and nice flavor. One of my go to sticks!

Smooth. Constructed excellent. Pick some of these up.

Easy draw, perfect size, best quality. My favorite.

This is my go-to cigar. I try to just smoke them when everything is just right - a beautiful day/eve, music, family/friends… or just me. They are mild and flavor, and the aroma is fantastic.

excellent cigar.

The ladies love them!!!!

Soooo good. Smooth and mild.

Only a couple of months in to my new hobby, so take this review with a grain of salt! Idiosyncrasies: I like this petite corona size for handfeel and smoketime; also, I was craving a mellower smoke after several mediums. Unlit: sweet, choco barnyard smell at foot. wonderful. made mouth water. Construction: excellent, sturdy but supple; kept surprising me. Ash: even and long; beautifully retained structure throughout smoke Burn: even! Associations: didn't get any cream reminders here, but was struck by a deliciously mild, light tobacco smoke experience End: last sixth gets metallic (which I assume happens eventually with every cigar?) Overall: the exploration never ends, but holy smokes will I make sure to always have some of these lying around; what an enjoyable experience (and not overly-long!)

Mild, smooth, enjoyable smoke.

The entire process of ordering was made very easy and the product was delivered in a timely manner

In my humble opinion, this is the best size for this cigar. Very smooth and creamy if you are able to slow down and take your time with it. I also enjoy, even prefer the Lonsdale as my morning smoke with strong black coffee. The distinctive Oliva flavor is there but smoothed out by the wrapper. Let them sit a month or so before smoking and go slow, you won’t regret it. Price increase is a bit overboard and lately I can find these at my local BM for same price saving $$ on the overpriced shipping and often dry delivery from CI. Just sayin

Great smoke with an even burn and not overwhelming.

Great cigar smooth smoke. Always perfect draw and even burn.

This is probably my favorite cigar. They burn great and have nice pleasant flavor. I like mild cigars so they might be too vanilla for some smokers, but for a nice smoke while golfing or any other activity, this is my number one.

Solid

Nicely built. Draw was even, smooth and creamy all the way down to the nub.

A very good smoke for trips and after dinner. If price was more resonable I would buy more.

Great cigar! I'm a big fan of mild cigars especially Connecticut leaf. Extra smooth finish. Love it!

nice tight wrap, smooth smoke with an easy draw.

A good even burn with a good smooth flavor all packaged in a nice wooden box.

I really like this cigar. Smooth and mellow are just a couple of adjectives used to describe this stick. Burns really nice and even and the price is good. Unless you're really after a bold taste this is a winner.

Oliva Connecticut Reserve is one of my favorite mild-medium smokes. It draws evenly from start to finish. I’ve never been disappointed.

Excellent cigars provided by an excellent company

1st time enjoying Oliva. It is creamy and most satisfying. I did have some issues with and even burn and had to work at keeping even. I was a bit surprised at the outter leafs texture. Which had many imperfections in it. As far as smoke it was delicious, but for the price I would step up and select a Perdomo 10year champagne.

Great smoke and at a good price 👍

Not really what I wanted but still good

Consistent quality.

As advertised a smooth mellow cigar

Edwardo helped to make a perfect recommendation for this cigar which was great.

Flavor is mild and good. First one I had the draw was unimpressive. The last one I had was perfect. I think the first one was just rolled a little tight. The customer service at CI is incredible...I highly recommend buying from them in general.

Great

Great

Size is ok. Quality is good. Robusta is better for me.

Great cigar. Mold and burns evenly. I found them much less expensive elsewhere.

Slow and easy burn for a mild stick!

Not gonna get pretentious with “hints of leather & spices” it’s just a nice mellow smoke, perfect with coffee in the morning or two fingers of good bourbon in the afternoon.

I enjoy they're Nub line so I gave these a try. They smoke very smooth and mild. I would get them again.

Mild and draws well. Good

Good smoke

Enjoy while playing golf

Fast becoming one of my favorites

I love the torpedo

i have enjoyed the oliva connecticut reserve churchill for the last 4 or 5 times i have been buying them and i like the flavor most of all

MY FAVORET

Very simply, my favorite

I used a punch and it was a great choice. They cigar had an easy great draw. It was very well made as the ash grew very well an evenly. I di not have to re-light and it stayed very cool. Great cigar!

I am always looking for a different corona option. And Oliva is one of my “go to” brands. Smooth, great burn, excellent all around. Packaging is nice but a little awkward with the latch, paper, ribbon, cedar sheet and individual plastic wrap. I do like the cedar sheet. It would be cool if another Oliva Series was available, like “O”.

I rarely use the word "delicious" to describe a cigar but this is one I would describe as such. Smooth and creamy, good volume of smoke, easy draw. This will definitely become a regular in my humidor.

So far my favorites

I have purchased the Connecticut Reserve for 10 years and probably the most consistent mellow, even burning I purchase.

Really good cigar..One of my favorite

Nice draw followed by a smooth and creamy taste. Great with a dark coffee

consistantly a good smoke

Great smoke at a fair price.

Great Cigar

Easy draw, great flavor. Oliva is one of my go to smokes!

I had a problem with the delivery of my cigars, and you guys handled my situation like true professionals. Thank you and keep up the good work.

My go to

Very good, very fresh cigar.

For my money Oliva Connecticut Reserve is the best mild-medium cigar out there. Always delivers.

Excellent cigar for the price

Very smooth

Smooth draw and mild with a creamy flavor all the way to the end. Great with a glass of good port.

Nice cigar. Nicely rolled.. Nice even burn and didn’t need to relight. Good value.

Very nice

They are my favorite

Wonderful smoke

nice!

Light but full-bodied smoke. Very enjoyable.

Burn draw typical Oliva, excellent. Regular fan of their Connecticut wrapper but for some reason this batch doesn't bring the expected smooth, mild flavors I’ve come to expect.

Mild flavor good burn

Like the mild flavor

Smooth, mild a good even burn

Always a nice taske, a dependable mild taste; great value.

Mild with a smooth even draw. Plenty of smoke with light draw. Never tunnels or canoes. I can smoke these right down until I can't hold them anymore without burning my fingers. Great cigar for the money.

Mild profile with medium flavor. Even burn. Nice smoke. Great cigar for beginning enthusiast.

Good cigar!

This cigar is a great smooth smoke. It is my go to cigar with my mid-morning coffee.

Great smokes

This is a really good cigar. awesome for a long leisurely smoke.

Mild yet flavorful. Nice even burn

This is an excellent mellow cigar that has been well made, has superior burn and draw

Was looking for a reliable, mild, short smoke. The previous reviews for these convinced me to try these Olivas. I'm very happy with them and would probably re-order, if the price is right! :)

They burn well nice mellow flavor in the drawer is what it should be but all around great cigar

These are one of my favorites. Mild but tasty. And smoke good on the golf course. I recommend them.

These cigars have a lot of flavor, smooth draw and a good, even burn. The only thing keeping these cigars from five stars is harshness at the beginning. It smooths out about 3-4 draws in to a very nice cigar. You can never go wrong with Oliva.

A very smooth Connecticut cigar. Good quality and pleasure to smoke

It's a very good smoke but there is always room for improvement, hence the 4 star review and not five. Packaged well, excellent draw, but a little more expensive then it should be in my book. It's well constructed but there are other out there for less money and of the same quality.

Nice smooth even burning stick. Mild and flavorful. Enjoyed with my favorite scotch as a night cap.

This one of favorite cigars. It’s a mellow everyday cigar with a great drawl. You’ll love it.

Excellent cigar, smooth, nice burn. Little pricy…

Smooth, easy draw.

Reasonable flavor, Great size, mild smoke, quality is good….

enjoyed the mildness and slow burn along w/flavor
