Oliva Serie V Melanio

I wrote before that I think that the Gordo tastes better than the Robusto. This robusto today is tasting as good as the Gordo, which makes me think, this one improves significantly with age.

I’ve only had the robustos because those are what happened to be up for auction at the time, but I liked the first box so much I went back for two more! I’d like to give the belicosos a whirl.

2010 Fuente Opus CFCF thanks to @eljimmy . Magnificent expression of the Opus blend. I'm finding the different vitolas really do bring something different to the table. This perfecto was unique in that the typical raisin note common to Opus was very plummy and had elements of stewed fruit and whiskey, almost a dead ringer for an aged, fruity perique.
