The Habano-seed wrapper is dark, slightly oily, and expertly rolled over a Nicaraguan binder and filler blend, offering a firm, even draw that produces dense, aromatic smoke; the cold draw reveals nuances of cocoa, sweet hay, and gentle spice, while the burn line remains straight and self-correcting, forming a solid, gray ash indicative of meticulous craftsmanship and premium construction

The ideal whisky pairing for the Oliveros Gran Retorno Habano Banjo is a sherry-cask matured single malt such as GlenDronach 15 Year, whose dried fruit, toasted oak, and warm spice notes complement the cigar’s espresso, chocolate, and cedar layers, enhancing depth, complexity, and richness of flavor
