Inferno by Oliva Offers Three New Releases - Cigar News

Famous Smoke Shop hath announced via a yesterday press release, the extension of their Inferno line not once, not twice, but thrice and in conjunction with Nicaragua’s Tabacalera Oliva. They shall be exclusive to Famous Smoke Shop, both on-line and in real life -- whatever the heck that is.

Melt, Scorch, and Singe will be the fourth, fifth, and sixth additions to the Inferno brand. The collaboration twixt Oliva and Famous Smoke Shop has been a thing since 2012 when the original blend was birthed. Then came Flashpoint, then did Flashpoint beget 3rd Degree. Just terrible names, gentlepersons. Terrible.

MELT is a box-pressed Nicaraguan puro under Sun Grown Broadleaf. Habano binder, ligero filler. It is purportedly-so and would seem to be, full strength'd. Manufacturer's notes speak of cocoa, leather, earth, and spice. SCORCH is put forth as a 'mellow and complex profile' of medium strength. It features an African Cameroon wrapper o'er Nicaraguan Habano filler. Twixt rests a Habano binder. SINGE is another full-strength'd puro de Nicaragua. Its top-leaf is of the Sun Grown varietal as well, promising to be "loaded with sweet, spicy and nutty flavors," thus according to Gary Korb, Cigar Advisor, Executive Editor. CA is a Famous Smoke Shop jawn. Just sayin', know what I sayin'?
