How is it? I've been curious because it seems like a cut above Oliva's other house blends (i.e. actual Oliva branding, the price).
Man, I really enjoyed it. Comparing it to the MB3 I had on Saturday, it's much less spicy, and a bit more complex. Too early to tell, but it's up there for me with the Melanio Maduro.

Here are my notes:
1/3 - Pepper at the start, smoothes out to dark roast coffee with a nutty finish.

2/3 - More of the same, pepper is almost completely gone.

3/3 - Strength has gone up a couple of notches. A mineral earth is now coming in. Nuttiness is more pronounced, with a barnyard funk coming in.

Side note: you get your money's worth with this one, the robusto lasted me 95 minutes.

Got a box of these free when I picked up a big order last year (Bells of Cincinnati). Meh. I like Camacho offerings generally.....this release is kind of hit or miss for me. The all-maduro construction plus beer barrel aging highlights malty/bitter chocolate tones. Sometimes this strikes just right, but most times it's a bit bitter in profile for me.

Ice cream sounds great right now.

I'm smoking an Undercrown Maduro cigarillo as I wait for my day to be over.
