Flavor Profile
First Third: Dark cocoa and toasted nuts open the smoke with a smooth, oily wrapper glow.
Mid-Smoke: Rich notes of coffee, warm cedar, and subtle pepper join the profile as the Maduro wrapper reveals its depth.
Final Third: Earth, black-cherry sweetness, and a gentle spice linger into the finish, delivering a well-rounded close.
Construction & Burn
This box-pressed Robusto is crafted with a dark oily Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper draped over premium Nicaraguan sun-grown fillers and an Indonesian binder. The result is a dependable draw, sturdy ash, and a consistent burn throughout the smoke.
Story & Accolades
The Serie G Maduro builds on the success of Oliva’s Serie G line by replacing the original Cameroon wrapper with a San Andrés Maduro leaf, which bolsters flavor intensity while retaining the approachable medium body. The blend earned acclaim in trade magazines and remains a high-value choice in the Oliva portfolio.
Pairing Suggestions
Beer: Stout or porter — the roastiness and chocolate notes complement the cigar’s Maduro character.
Wine: Rich Zinfandel or Tempranillo Reserva — their dark fruit and spice layers mirror the cigar’s finish.
Spirits: A well-aged rum or robust rye whiskey — their caramel and toasted-oak flavors harmonize with the cigar’s wood and cocoa elements.
Overall Impression
The Oliva Serie G Maduro Robusto delivers more punch than its natural-wrapper sibling without becoming overpowering. Its combination of creamy texture, deep cocoa-coffee flavors, and refined construction make it an excellent choice for daily rotation or for smokers seeking value and consistency. A smart pick for both seasoned aficionados and those ready to explore the Maduro side of the Oliva line.
