Oliva Connecticut Reserve Robusto
The Connecticut Reserve is the mildest offering from the Oliva brand. A blonde, silky Connecticut wrapper from Ecuador envelops a Nicaraguan binder and filler, which retain just the right amount of character.
As soon as it is lit, notes of cream and cedar emerge, joined by a hint of lightly toasted hazelnut. It draws easily, produces a generous amount of smoke, and the strength remains moderate from start to finish. A perfect Robusto for introducing people to cigars without overwhelming them.
Tasting menu
Pairing
A café crème, which complements the cigar’s rounded flavour.

About Oliva
The name Oliva originates from Melanio Oliva, the grandfather of Gilberto Oliva, who is now regarded as the head of this illustrious family. Melanio began growing tobacco in Cuba as early as 1886, a tradition that was devotedly continued by his son Hipolito for many years. Later, Gilberto Senior, father of the current generation and a respected figure in the world of tobacco fairs in the United States, faced the challenge of finding land as fertile as that of Cuba following the family’s exile. After exploring regions such as Panama, the Philippines, Honduras and Mexico, he finally discovered in Nicaragua an exceptional terroir, perfectly suited to his requirements. The cigars produced there reveal deep, earthy flavours, offering a complexity that captivates connoisseurs and leaves an irresistible desire to savour more.
