Looking for a smooth, mellow cigar that pairs perfectly with your morning coffee? The Oliva Connecticut Reserve Toro just might be your new go-to. In this detailed review, I’ll break down the flavor profile, construction, and why this cigar is a top pick for beginners and seasoned smokers alike.




First Impressions: Mellow, Creamy, and Easy to Love



Lit this one up on a laid-back Sunday with a hot cup of coffee. From the first puff, it’s clear this cigar means business — not in an overpowering way, but in a refined, subtle confidence.


No pepper. No harshness. No bite.

What you get instead is a soft, mellow, creamy profile, toasted almond notes, and a smooth finish that feels just right for early mornings or summer afternoons by the pool.




Flavor Profile



  • Cream: Present throughout — silky and consistent.

  • Toasted Almond: Prominent in the first half.

  • Cedar: Light and clean on the retrohale.

  • Graham Cracker Breadiness: A gentle sweetness on the back end.



No sudden transitions, just a steady, elegant ride.




Construction & Burn



The burn line is consistent all the way through, and the ash... Long, firm, and impressive — I was half tempted to see how long it could go without dropping.


Draw is effortless. No relights needed. Just an all-around well-made cigar — the kind that makes you look like a pro, even if you’re new to the game.




Pairing Suggestions



  • Morning: Black coffee or a cappuccino.

  • Afternoon: Iced coffee or a crisp lager.

  • Evening (if you’re feeling it): Light rum or a mild bourbon.



This stick fits just about any time of day, but it truly shines with a fresh brew in hand.
