It was very interesting. I'm still pretty new to cigars, but I've had a few other Connecticuts.
It was very mellow in flavor, as expected, but surprisingly strong in nicotine and aftertaste. Coated the mouth more than I would have expected with the same smooth, creamy flavor, but just thick and lasting. The back of my throat burned from nicotine for a while after I finished. I purged with a soft flame halfway through, and the spice in the retrohale became very intense after that, almost like the physical sensation of menthol. The construction was outstanding. I only had to poke a paperclip through the drafthole a little bit after I cut it, as the mouth end of the cigar was tighter.
Overall, it was fantastic, one of my favorites so far. I will simply have to remember in the future that it's not all that mellow.
Oliva Serie V Melanio in an unusual limited edition vitola - 7x60 I think.
And this cigar really shines as a Gordo or any other fat vitola

Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro No. 4 Petit Corona, bought a box of ten to see how they are. Should arrive next week...
My Father #3 Cremas with about 8 years of age on it. Quite nice!
Black works studio Serpent and Rainbow 1st release 2018.
When I started roasting coffee last year, Rwanda and Burundi coffees emerged very quickly as favorites. I just think they're fantastic!
Smoking a Tatuaje Cojonu 2012 Sumatra. Had some Guatemalan espresso with it.
In my experience, that's a great size! I am still waiting for one of my local shops to bring in one of the fat boy sizes, so I can try one of those per @cshubhra's recommendation.
Tried this one I liked it !
Looks like quite a long walk to the grocer's!
That is a very well-applied wrapper. What made you stop rolling your own cigars?
Got a coupon and snatched them up for 42.00 dollars included shipping! Had to bite...
Time. Man it just takes time to do all of it and is much much harder than it looks. I suspect the leaf as nice as it is from the suppliers is not ever going to be as nice as a bunch of people processing and separating and casing it. Having said that....man was it good. With that much time down, about 2 years, I can definitely see the change in the chemistry. I still have my presses...maybe Ill roll a few.
Funny enough the hardest part for me was always the cap. I always bunched entubado style, like the proper Cuban way, and did okay with the binder and wrapper. But getting that cap was not as easy.
The Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro is a fantastic smoke - I like it in the natural wrapper a bit more though
