"This was a nice pleasant smoke that I would absolutely smoke again. I believe this was a corona or even a petite corona. There was plenty of transitions to keep my attention. Starting out with wood, chocolate and rye then switching up to earth tones then settling out with cream.....very interesting smoke. " -Mickey T. (irratebass)

"This cigar was a flavor bomb throughout. It kept me puffing almost to the point where it began burning hotter than normal. It’s not the absolute best I've had, but it’s one that’s definitely in my wheelhouse. I’d more than happy to enjoy another one (or three) of these!" -Milton (mjohnsoniii)
Oliva Cigars launches "Year of the Dragon," a limited-edition Churchill cigar for Chinese New Year. Available exclusively at China Duty Free, it features Nicaraguan tobaccos and an Ecuadorian wrapper.
"I liked it but it isn't something that I would reach for necessarily. The smoke output was great and the density was thick and creamy. I found the profile to be a bit too monotone for the length but if you're a fan of rich tobacco notes this would be a real winner for you. It is a very good cigar but just a bit out of my wheelhouse. " -Alan (Eulogy)
