Oliva Master Blends 3 Torpedo

Phase three of one of the rarest things Oliva makes.

Each year the Oliva family sets aside a small lot of their finest tobaccos for a single, one-time run — a blend dictated entirely by what that harvest yields, so no two years are ever quite the same. For most of its history this was tobacco reserved for family use; only improved growing and quality control have made a limited public release possible at all. Master Blends III is the latest, and inventory is extremely limited.

MB3 is built on a luscious sungrown broadleaf wrapper over a Nicaraguan core of Habano-seed ligero — a dark, oily, chocolate-brown cigar that draws beautifully. The flavor is rich and balanced: earthy and creamy through the body, with a spicy finish that hints of brown sugar. Full-bodied from light to nub, and made to reward a distinguished palate.
