Sampler Spotlight

Sample the full ine of Montecristo White, a mild cigar with lots of Montecristo flavor. The Ecuador Connecticut Shade wrapper is velvet smooth and balances the stronger Nicaraguan binder and the blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan long fillers. A real treat!

The Nicaraguan cigar industry has made a strong comeback with some of the greatest brands in the market today being manufactured in this Central American country. Discover the quality of Nicaraguan cigars today.

After years of experimenting with cigar blends and construction, the folks at Oliva's Studio Tobac came up with the NUB, a revolutionary cigar that seeks to deliver only that most enjoyable part of the cigar. They believed that a cigar finds its “sweet spot” at the 3 ½- 4 inch point. All “nub” cigars must exist within this window. No “nub” is longer than 4 inches. Further adding to this complex theory, the ring gauges range from 56-66. The result is a range of smokes that have the same amount of tobacco as any Churchill or even Presidente. Unbelievably, they also smoke as long.

The Oliva name is synonymous with great quality cigars at affordable prices. In fact, no other company has had so many under $10 retail price cigars rated 90 or more. This Torpedo sampler has all the great Oliva cigars that aficionados everywhere are raving for. Packed full of flavor, yet smooth, these Nicaraguan beauties are a great buy.
