Espresso/coffee, dark chocolate/cocoa, leather, cedar, black pepper, earth, tobacco sweetnessMaster Blends 3 was conceived as a small‑batch, Lig Maestra expression: dark U. S. Broadleaf outside, Nicaraguan Habano binder and a ligero‑rich Nicaraguan filler core. The cigar is dense and chewy—thick smoke, big coffee and espresso, dark chocolate and leathery tobacco—with cedar and black‑pepper seasoning on the retrohale. Strength runs medium‑full to full and construction on well‑made examples is typically solid. Its limited, artisanal intent and Broadleaf surface give it a darker, heavier flavor profile than Oliva's regular production lines.
