Oliva Cigars Connecticut Reserve
Ranked in our Best Cheap Cigars Under $5 GuideDesigned as a smooth, approachable smoke without sacrificing Nicaraguan character, the Connecticut Reserve is rolled at Tabolisa in Estelí. Dressed in a golden Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper over aged Nicaraguan long-fillers, it provides an ultra-creamy mild-to-medium profile highlighting notes of sweet wood, toasted grain, cafe au lait, and subtle white pepper.

Oliva Connecticut Reserve Churchill
Cigar Aficionado · Aug 1, 2023
A creamy combination of vanilla, citrus and nuttiness, this lightly-hued cigar stays on the mild side but offers a lot of flavor. Notes of cereal and cinnamon linger on the finish.

Holt's Staff Reviews · Sep 3, 2020
I am igniting an Oliva Connecticut Reserve in a tapering 6.5 x 52 Torpedo today. It’s a straight shot from here to the Holt’s checkout if the mere mention of Oliva stirs your yearning for a top-rated brand at the biggest discounts in the entire country. If we go back about a decade, Oliva was a wee sapling in our sprawling warehouse. Today is a much different story. The forest is flourishing. Welcome to the jungle, son.Read full review on Holt's Staff Reviews
Oliva "Connecticut Reserve" Review: A Subtle, Shady, Lazy Sunday Morning Sort of Smoke
Klaro Cigars · Sep 1, 2026

It maintained the average profile the rest of the way. This is a nice, milder offering from Oliva. The price point is attractive and is something a wide range of smokers could enjoy.

This past Friday, Outland Cigars had a pretty big Oliva Cigars’ event, so I managed to pick up a few different Oliva cigars. One of these cigars included a staple of the Oliva family, the Nub Cameroon – which I reviewed recently. I figured it was time to take another look at another Oliva cigar […]
