Tasting notes

The Oliva NUB Sun Grown 460 showcases a captivating appearance. Its wrapper from Nicaragua, with a slightly shiny chestnut color and an oily texture, immediately draws the eye. To the touch, it feels soft and firm, evoking memories of velvety smoothness and delicacy, ensuring a most promising first impression.

From the very first whiffs, the cigar offers a complex bouquet where cocoa and chocolate mousse intertwine with notes of cedar and spices. The lighting reveals a pleasant aromatic richness, while the flavors unfold gently, building gradually and creating an atmosphere of refinement.

On the palate, the development is masterful, with a balance between earthy richness and sweetness. From the first third, creamy cocoa and roasted nut flavors assert themselves, accompanied by a slight warmth on the finish. The progression is structured, offering nuances of bitter chocolate and spices throughout, marking a delightful complexity.

The finish is long and enduring, providing an elegant persistence. This cigar stands out for its excellent balance between strength and sweetness. The flavors remain present, enhancing the smoker's experience and underscoring the remarkable quality of its craftsmanship.

Ideal for post-meal enjoyment, this cigar pairs perfectly with aged rum or fine chocolates. It is in these moments that you can fully appreciate its aromatic richness and true character.
