Construction & Burn

Hand-rolled by Oliva’s master artisans with a high-priming Ecuadorian Habano Sun Grown wrapper and deep-primed Nicaraguan fillers, this large-ring, 60-gauge format maintains a consistent draw and even burn. The ash holds firm and the smoke output is generous — ideal for a leisurely session.

Story & Accolades

Pairing Suggestions

Beer: Imperial stout or robust porter — the dark malt and roast mirror the cigar’s coffee and chocolate tones.
Wine: Full-bodied Malbec or Rioja Gran Reserva — smooth tannins and deep fruit complement the cigar’s richness.
Spirits: Aged bourbon or 8-12 yr rum — caramel-vanilla and oak sweet-wood characters enhance the cigar’s layered flavour profile.
