Description
Oliva did a good job on this one. Some tobacco yields are to small for regular bulk production and end up being stored and aged to make small batch releases. Black Swan is such a release. The crown jewel in the Oliva Black Swan crown is the wrapper - a dark and oily "real deal" Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. Some of the top-quality sorted CT Broadleaf wrappers that Oliva owns has been accumulating in their aging rooms..... due to the limited yield, each year it's been set aside but is not ample enough for a full blown, nationally distributed Oliva brand. But it's perfect for Black Swan, as a more limited and seasonally available offering. This gorgeous leaf is combined with an Oliva powerhouse Nicaraguan filler blend bound with an Ecuadorian binder. Beautiful, medium to full in body, dark, and oily, perfectly constructed, and composed of aged, perfectly fermented fillers and wrappers. Upon lighting, expect deep, earthy, sweet notes and a long finish.
