Oliva Serie V Torpedo

The Serie V Torpedo takes Oliva's celebrated full-bodied blend and puts it in a tapered, box-pressed format. The pointed head concentrates the smoke and lets you fine-tune the draw, while the 56 ring gauge gives the filler room to show off.

What it tastes like

Under the oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper is a Nicaraguan core built around Jalapa Valley ligero. The result is full but balanced: rich coffee and cocoa up front, sweet cedar through the middle, and an earthy, peppery backbone that keeps it interesting from light to nub. It burns slow and cool for a torpedo.

Who it's for

This is a cigar for people who already like strength and want flavor to match it. It's a fantastic after-dinner smoke.

Track it in your humidor and rate it with the Casa DNC app. If you prefer a slightly shorter, wider smoke, the Serie V Double Robusto is the same blend in a stout format.
