Oliveros El Padrino

I bought a box on a whim,,the description sounded appealing

A unique, expertly blended premium.

The Oliveros El Padrino is the most interesting cigar in the Oliveros quiver. It utilizes some rare Italian tobaccos in the filler, combined with Piloto Cubano Dominican tobaccos. Best of all, it’s capped off with a super-dark, triple-fermented Brazilian maduro wrapper. These large ring vitolas are jet black in appearance and oily and toothy to the touch. Upon lighting, expect layers of flavor, including a rich sweetness and a smooth, mellow tobacco taste
I ordered a bundle of Frankie The Bull 6 x 60 jet black dark maduro

At first I was un impressed, but after a week of settling they have grown on me. I like large diameter cigars (don't know why) but these are huge. The initial smell prelight was of licorice. There's lots of smoke, takes a good hour with some touch ups needed, flavors I detected were leather and of course the licorice,,they are available on cbid for a steal usually, and I would order another bundle when I run out
