Okay so a short story.
This week i posted in the today's smoke about wanting to try the regular oliva V. And proudly proclaimed it was likely the wrapper of the melanio, a sumatra wrapper, I didn't feel for much. And therefore this regular v series should be better with a habano sungrown wrapper.
And while it definitely was, for the smoke of that particuler day.
Why must I find different WBF (wrapper Binder filler) descriptions online
So while halfwheel states the following:
Oliva Serie V Toro
Oliva however just states:
Regular V
Wrapper – Ecuador
Binder – Nicaragua
Filler – Nicaragua
"finished with a high priming Habano Sun Grown Wrapper"
Melanio
Wrapper – Ecuador
Binder – Nicaragua
Filler – Nicaragua
It this a common experience or is this just a anomaly on halfwheels part. It's kinda a big blend difference that I would expect to be posted on the review site and not the producer site.
Anyhow just needed to vent this info.
It's driving me crazy knowing I now need to revisit the melanio to ensure I didn't misjudge it. Well not that part in particular
, but not knowing how to pinpoint a difference in a blend where the cigars are almost called the same really makes my head hurt 
So anybody know the exact construction? Or have similar gripes?
