The Serie G Maduro takes Oliva's value-favorite line in a darker direction, swapping the Cameroon wrapper for an oily Mexican San Andrés maduro leaf. The Robusto, at 4.5 by 50, is a short, easy smoke and one of the better budget maduros you can find.
What it tastes like
The dark San Andrés wrapper covers a Nicaraguan Habano core, giving the classic maduro signature: cocoa and coffee, sweet cedar, and a toasty backbone with a gentle sweetness running through it. It's medium-bodied and creamy, building a little in intensity as it goes but never turning harsh.
