1/3 Lets light up the Oliva Connecticut reserve robusto cigar

I roasted the cigar slowly and felt how the first thing that met my taste buds was a Buttery yet Creamy texture. The flavors it offered were sweet Fruitiness, a nuttiness reminiscent of cashews, a woodiness that went in the direction of cedar, and strangely, a buttery breadiness. The retrohalation was smooth and gave nuances of white pepper and nuttiness.
