OLIVA FLOR DE OLIVA TORO 6X50 (25)
OLIVAStorage Instructions
Store OLIVA flor de oliva toro in a well maintained humidor set to 65% to 70% relative humidity and a stable temperature of about 68ºF to 70ºF (20ºC to 21ºC). A humidor lined with Spanish cedar helps maintain flavor and supports even humidity. Keep cigars away from direct sunlight and sources of heat or cold. For short term storage inside a desktop humidor you can use a quality humidification element or two way humidity packs to maintain stability. Avoid refrigeration or freezing as those environments dry out or damage the wrapper and oils. If you travel with these cigars use a travel humidor or airtight tube to protect humidity and prevent crushing.
Care Tips
The OLIVA flor de oliva toro features a delicate Connecticut style Ecuadorian wrapper that benefits from gentle handling. Handle by the body rather than rubbing the wrapper with fingernails to avoid oils and abrasion. Rotate cigars in the humidor every few weeks so they age evenly. If the cigar was shipped or recently purchased let it rest in your humidor for at least 2 weeks to reequilibrate before lighting up. For enthusiasts who enjoy aging, mild Connecticut wrapped blends often develop a rounder, more complex profile after 6 to 12 months in proper conditions, while still retaining the signature creamy notes. Avoid over drying or over humidifying during aging and check your hygrometer regularly. When preparing to smoke, cut cleanly and toast the foot rather than overhandling the wrapper to preserve appearance and burn quality.

History and Heritage
Oliva is a family owned company with deep roots in cigar growing and blending, and its cigars are primarily produced in Nicaragua.

Built around well harvested tobaccos and consistent manufacturing, this series reflects Oliva’s reputation for delivering quality smokes that emphasize flavor and draw over flash.
Tasting Notes
The Oliva flor de oliva toro offers a refined medium body that unfolds with velvety cream and warm cedar on the draw, followed by toasted almond and a whisper of baker’s spice. Midpalate reveals dark cocoa and a smooth leather undertone, balanced by a delicate floral sweetness and a faint black-pepper snap toward the finish. Aromas of fresh espresso, sweet hay and toasted bread rise from the bowl, creating an inviting, nuanced bouquet. Overall the experience is elegant and layered—approachable for those who prefer medium-bodied cigars but satisfying enough for seasoned aficionados seeking complexity.
Pairing Suggestions
Single-origin espresso — its concentrated bitter-sweetness and roasted notes amplify the cigar’s cocoa and espresso aromas, while cutting through the cream for a crisp contrast. Aged añejo rum — caramel, vanilla and subtle oak in a well-aged rum mirror the cigar’s toasty and sweet layers, elevating its almond and cedar nuances. Dark chocolate (70% cacao) or toasted almond biscotti — the chocolate’s richness and the biscotti’s nuttiness harmonize with the cigar’s cocoa and almond notes, creating a decadent, balanced finish.
