Flor de Oliva Original Torpedo

Flor de Oliva is described by Oliva as a blend of aged Nicaraguan tobaccos that produces a rich, creamy, and “bite-free” experience, with an earthy character that remains from start to finish.

In this Original version, various sources agree that the cigar uses a Sumatra wrapper over a blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos. There is also agreement that the Torpedo vitola is marketed in 6 1/2 x 52, although some publications describe the wrapper as Ecuadorian Sumatra and others as Indonesian Sumatra. To maintain an accurate and consistent description, it is safest to present this vitola as a cigar of Nicaraguan origin, 6 1/2 x 52 format, medium body, and a profile with earth, wood, cream, and a natural sweetness in the wrapper.

Flavor Profile
From the first puffs, notes of earth, wood, and natural tobacco are perceived, accompanied by a creamy texture and a slightly sweet nuance associated with the Sumatra wrapper. Thanks to the Torpedo format, the smoke can feel a bit more concentrated in the mouth, allowing for a better appreciation of the evolution of flavors as the cigar progresses. The result is a balanced, accessible experience with enough character for those who enjoy a reliable everyday cigar. This last sentence about the concentration of flavor in the Torpedo head is a reasonable inference supported by the shape of the vitola and commercial descriptions of that presentation.
