A detailed assessment of this cigar was done on Cigar Coop.
The Ora Vivo is a cigar was announced that is collaboration between Victor Vitale of Legacy Brands, Gary Macchione of Boutique Cigar Brands, and film actor Armand Assante. For a while Assante was looking for the right fit to associate his name with a cigar. Assante had a friendship with Macchione, and was familiar with Vitale’s cigar work. Assante and Macchione approached Vitale and the wheels were put in motion. This is not a cigar where Assante simply lent his name. It is a project in which Assante has had significant involvement with.
The Ora Vivo is a very classic cigar profile. It even has some Cubanesque qualities to it. It delivers notes of nut, natural tobacco, earth, and pepper. The flavors are very deep and I would categorize it as full-bodied while the nicotine level is medium strength. Except for some minor flaking the burn was excellent and the draw was ideal.
If you are looking for an old school, classic smoke with a lot of flavor, check this one out. It’s box worthy in my book.
