Quick Smoke: Oliva Serie O Perfecto

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

This Perfecto (5 x 55) has a lot of the flavor you’d expect from a Nicaraguan puro, including spice and roasted coffee. But it’s the sweet creamy backdrop that makes it memorable. I bought mine at my local tobacconist for about $6. I’ll be more than happy to pay that price again for this sun-grown Habano-wrapped beauty.

Verdict = Buy.
