Oliveros King Havano Black Knight Review.

Thanks to Rafael for the opportunity to try this cigar.

It is a box pressed chocolate candy bar with a neat foot.  As far as appearance goes, the wrapper shows a gradual color change getting darker at the foot.  It is somewhat soft to the touch, and upon clipping the draw is a bit tighter than I prefer it to be.  The flavours however were interesting, starting out with raisin sweetness and anise spice highlighted with creamy notes.  Mild at first, but after an inch the flavours started to really shine, and the nasal exhale discovers rich cocoa flavours.  Eventually leading up to a nice woody finish, most probably mesquite.

This cigar was definitely a pleasant surprise comprising of balance, complexity and of course the unique combination of flavours.

  1. Had one a while back, loved it, so I bought a box. I don't think anyone knows about it. Spread the word, this one deserves serious recognition. This cigar will be in my premium rotation, along with Padron 3000 Maduro, Pepin Black, Perdomo Habano Maduro, and RP Old World Reserve.
