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.
