CIGAR BISTRO Review
Olor Fuerte
Vital Statistics:
Country: Handmade, Honduras
Size: Corona – 5 1/2 x 42
Wrapper: Talanga Cubano
Binder: Mexican San Andreas
Filler: Dominican, Nicaraguan and Brazilian
Strength: Medium

The Feel: The Olor Fuerte Corona is solid and well-packed, with a good heft. The wrapper is dark brown with a very slightly oiled look and feel to it.
The Smell: The Olor Fuerte had an assertive tobacco smell, prior to lighting. When smelling the unlit tobacco, there’s no doubt this will be a tasty smoke. After it was lit, the Olor Fuerte’s aroma progressed through a series of delightful changes: from slightly sweet all the way to a robust luxury tobacco finish.
The Cap: The cap was firmly attached and cut easily.
The Draw: The draw of this Olor Fuerte was excellent during the entire smoke.
Olor Fuerte NOTES:
Even before lighting it, the Olor Fuerte was a smoke that I anticipated, due to the smooth, sheer smell of tobacco it emitted.
Readers know that I prefer heavier tasting cigars, and that’s one reason I enjoyed this cigar from start to finish: it was a solid “man’s smoke”, but not so much that it bit your tongue after I got into the halfway point.
The smoke got steadily more tasty–especially after about I’d smoked about a third of the Olor Fuerte. Some have described the cigar as having the taste of “cream.” I would say it is more “creamy” with a rich taste. I use the word “lightly-oiled” to describe such a flavor, but that’s a compliment. It’s a fine, rich medium smoke, especially after the cigar rounded the turn coming home.
We look forward to when next we renew our acquaintance with the Olor Fuerte.

MORE on Olor Fuerte cigars.
Olor Fuerte cigars are for cigar smokers who want that sweet ‘Old Havana’ flavor and aroma at a good price. Sporting a luscious, dark-natural Talanga Cubano wrapper and a rich 3-nation filler, the Corona is an especially bold, yet creamy-smooth smoke. Highly rated by Famous customers – a must try!
Designed to appeal to the tastes of cigar smokers who want a good medium-to-full-bodied smoke, we went all out on Olor Fuerte. This heartier Olor blend consists of robust Dominican, Nicaraguan and Brazilian fillers with a Mexican San Andreas binder surrounded by a zesty, dark-natural Talanga Cubano wrapper. The result is a remarkably smooth and complex cigar with lots of sweet, creamy smoke that’s hearty, yet not overpowering. Try a box and you may agree with what we said: ‘Oh Lord!’
FINAL VERDICT:
The Olor Fuerte was a fine smoke. We smoked three total,lighting up two of them in a row. The entire time we smoked through those two Olor Fuertes, we can honestly say we enjoyed every minute of them.
I’d recommend the Olor Fuerte to anyone who’s looking for a cigar that’s a stage below a truly “heavy” smoke.
