    Default Oliva Master Blends 3 Torpedo




    This 6.5×52 box pressed torpedo features a dark brown oval pressed wrapper with a slight spongy give, faint red hue and soft velvet feel with a rich barnyard aroma. First light reveals a perfect draw with good medium body smoke output giving very smooth, oily and creamy textured tobacco and leather notes with a slight sweetness on the finish. The first light is almost the same, just a tad muted but very smooth and well blended. The draw also includes a bit of nuttiness, but no one flavor really pops out. 20 minutes in the 1st third ends by shifting flavors dramatically to a very deep and substantial earthiness that really overwhelms you, bringing body up to medium-full and leaving a long finish. 30 minutes in, flavors change yet again, going to a creamy coffee and aged tobacco, also bringing the pepper up a touch and adding a bit of spice to the finish. The earth has dropped completely. 45 minutes in part of the burn reaches the 1/2 way point, the rest lagging about 1/2″ behind. Flavord at this point are bouncing back and forth between the earthiness and coffee, with the sweetness sometimes going to a caramel. The ash is still holding on, however I’m going to ash it and touch up the burn. Ending at 1:30 min the remainder of the stick was the same. http://cigarobsession.com/cigar-revi...-cigar-review/

    These are delicious! Really the only sticks worth smoking from Oliva (IMO) are these and the V's.

    I had bad luck with this one.

    The one I smoked just didn't want to burn at all, and had a horrible plug halfway down that turned the rest of the stick bitter.

    Great review as always, Bryan!

    I've smoked several, with no issues. Might want to give them another try if the flavor profile is to your liking!

    Default Oliva Master Blends 3

    I have smoked many if not all of the Oliva line though I must confess, I have never heard of this one. If it's anything like the V's then I am sure I will like it. However, I hope that it's not as disapointing as the Oliva G's.

    Love me some MB3s!! Good review, thanks for sharing .

    People cry about how bad tobacco is, but do they realize how bad water is? Water can be chemically synthesized by burning rocket fuel. Water is the primary ingredient in herbicides and pesticides. Water is the leading cause of drowning. 100% of serial killers, rapists, and drug dealers have admitted to drinking water. And probably most alarming...100% of people exposed to water will die! By comparison tobacco is a pussy.

    Great review.

    I love these cigars. They're great medium-bodied smokes. They are on sale at CI a lot, and are also in a lot of their bundles.

    Thanks for the review.

    I have one of these sitting in my miscellaneous humi. Looks like it is time to put fire to it.

    Great review and I also love this stick. Actually, I like them better than the V's. Unfortunately, they do not live very long in my vinotemp.

    These are great smokes and I love the rectangular box press ... I got a LOT of dark berry flavor off of the MB3 I smoked.

    Very true...sometimes, I think I'm smoking trail mix!

    Nice review thanks.
    A superb cigar shares an astonishing resemblance to an extraordinary woman; exquisitely constructed, yet once set ablaze imparts an essence that lingers on a man’s lips as well as his memory.
