Normally these are separate components to the assessments done on this
web-site, but in this case they will be combined as it will be easier to
contrast the Oliva Serie V Maduro 2011 to some of the other releases. The Serie V Maduro 2011 uses a San Andres Mexican maduro wrapper as did the 2010 edition. As mentioned above, only one vitola is done per year – and this year is the first year a toro was selected. It also represents the thinnest ring gauge (50) that has been done in the series.
The Oliva Serie V Maduro 2011 is as follows:
Oliva Serie V Maduro 2011
Wrapper: San Andres Mexican Maduro
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
