It was a powerful feeling to hold the cigar, the detail at the foot with 135 made it feel like it was made for a big celebration.

The cigar was incredibly firm and had an oily feel to it.

Smell and cold draw

The wrapper had aromas of florality and chocolate while the filler smelled floral and slightly buttery. The cold draft was quite interesting and gave flavors of woodiness, pine and milkiness.

Conclusion

The Oliva Serie V 135th anniversary Edicion limitada cigar is a complex cigar with a full body. The full body makes it suitable for the experienced aficionado. The flavors have a good balance between each other without any flavor that stands out. If I compare price vs taste vs quality I think it is where it should be, maybe a little on the high side considering that the blend is the same as in the classic Oliva V.
