Privada Storytelling
Connecticut Clarity with Nicaraguan Heart
The Oliva Connecticut Reserve flips expectations. It wears a Connecticut wrapper but its soul is Nicaraguan—bringing layered flavor to a classically mild format. It’s a cigar built for moments when grace meets subtle complexity. Perfect for morning reflection and genteel afternoon sessions.
From first light it presents creamy wood tones with almond and vanilla. Midway, buttery toast and soft floral notes ride alongside faint citrus. As it closes, pine cedar and a gentle grainy sweetness remain. It grows richer toward the nub while staying elegant.
