OLIVA FLOR DE OLIVA ROBUSTO 5X50 (25)
OLIVAStorage Instructions
For the best preservation of Oliva flor de oliva robusto store your cigars in a quality humidor lined with Spanish cedar. Aim for a steady relative humidity of 65 to 70% and a temperature of 65 to 70ºF (18 to 21ºC). This line is made from rich, well aged tobaccos with a flavorful wrapper that performs best under stable conditions. Keep cigars in their box or on cedar shelves away from direct sunlight heat sources and strong odors. If you receive cigars that are drier than you prefer rehydrate them slowly over one to two weeks rather than subjecting them to rapid humidification. Avoid storing cigars in refrigerators or freezers and be mindful that humidity consistently above 72% can promote mold and split wrappers.
Care Tips
Handle Oliva flor de oliva robusto gently and only touch the wrapper with clean dry hands to preserve the oils and prevent blemishes. When cutting or lighting work carefully to avoid crushing the cap and to maintain an even burn. If you plan to age these cigars allow them to rest in your humidor for six to twelve months to develop more complexity although many enthusiasts enjoy them right away. After travel give cigars 24 to 72 hours to return to humidor conditions before smoking. Rotate stock periodically keep a reliable digital hygrometer and a dependable humidification device for consistent results and check for signs of over humidity or dryness during seasonal changes.

Tasting Notes
The OLIVA flor de oliva robusto delivers a refined medium-to-full-bodied experience that will appeal to seasoned aficionados and those stepping up from milder blends. It opens with a savory interplay of toasted cedar and a gentle white-pepper spice, evolving into creamy espresso, bittersweet dark chocolate and roasted walnut on the mid‑palate. Beneath the surface there is an earthy, leathery backbone and a subtle sweetness of brown sugar and baking spice that rounds the profile. Aromas are warm and inviting — think cocoa, toasted tobacco and a whisper of dried fruit — finishing long and satisfyingly savory.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged dark rum — the molasses and oak-driven sweetness amplifies the cigar’s chocolate and brown‑sugar notes while tempering its spice; Espresso (ristretto) — a concentrated, bitter coffee cut through the cigar’s creaminess and mirrors the espresso and cocoa flavors for a harmonious counterpoint; 70% dark chocolate — a small square heightens the bittersweet cocoa character and emphasizes the cigar’s nutty, roasted elements without overwhelming the palate.
