Oliva Serie O Maduro

Oliva Connecticut Reserve

6 - Life is too short Alright, made it out to San Francisco for work. I was recommended a place to smoke. Selection was actually not bad. Today I also saw Oliva box deal on CP.com and was thinking of getting some cheaper Connecticuts. Saw this Oliva and wanted to try it. Welp good sirs, its boring as shit for profile. Its a very very creamy coffee cigar. No pepper, no sting, not very dynamic. Draw is good, pack is pretty hefty for a cheaper stick. Ive definitely overpaid in the bar, but the bar is worth it. The stick is not 1- End of Days (98 -100) 2 - Buy a box (90 - 97) 3 - Buy a five-packer (74 - 89) 4 - Bargain-buy (55 - 73) 5 - One & done (35 - 54) 6 - Life is too short (15 - 34) 7 - Strait to jail (0 -14)

Oliva Serie V

Still one of my favorites ever!

Oliva Serie G

Kind of a really boring smoke, unfortunately.

Oliva Serie O

3 - Buy a five-packer I really loved the larger ring guage of this stick. It was very hefty in the hand a great big grip for it. The pepper was very smooth on the retro and like another Oliva I've smoked, I get the hay flavor that i find kinda unique to the brand. Id call this stick a medium body with a thick smoke. I think this would be a fantastic camping cigar. It'd large enough to keep for a few hours and light enough that I could also be drinking with it. I think its a good any-time cigar that won't break the bank and one that i could hand out and not cry about. 1 - End of Days (98 -100) 2 - Buy a box (90 - 97) 3 - Buy a five-packer (74 - 89) 4 - Bargain-buy (55 - 73) 5 - One & done (35 - 54) 6 - Life is too short (15 - 34) 7 - Strait to jail (0 -14)

Oliva Serie V

Serie V is wonderful blend. This is not my favorite vitola. Yet very enjoyable

Oliva Serie G

Very good

Oliva Serie V

Great cigar. Usually I smoke smaller vitolas, but I smoked this (for my preference) big cigar to the nub.

Oliva Serie O

Smooth yet rich and complex retrohale.

A simple cigar on terms of flavor - wood and slight nuttiness. However, the construction is solid, the draw is clean, and the burn is even. Makes for a good cigar when you don't need anything complex.

Torpedo cut sight at an angle 3 times paired with liquid death grim leafer sweet tea and carmello chocolate

This Nicaraguan Connecticut shade wrapper cigar delivered a perfect balance of mild to medium smoke. It imparted subtle hints of toasted almond, cedar, and a touch of creamy smoke. Truly remarkable! The smoke output was good to average. This cigar is an excellent choice for a morning coffee, and it’s definitely a keeper for both beginners and seasoned smokers. Grade B+

Oliva Serie O Maduro

Oliva Serie O

This Nicaraguan Puro was a medium to bold stick, quite similar to the Serie V Melano. The Maduro wrapper really brought the whole thing together. It had a subtle hint of dark chocolate and a generous amount of toasted nuts. The smoke output was satisfactory. Pair excellent with Buffalo Trace Bourbon.

Oliva Serie O

Salty cedar and earth. A solid smoke with a classic profile.

Salty cedar. A solid smoke with a classic profile.

Oliva Serie V

Usually a smooth blend, but the draw was horrible on the lancero. It was almost impossible to pull a good draw, even with an extra cap cut and use of a draw tool. Barely and to taste the usual chocolate & coffee notes I tend to get.

Oliva Serie G Maduro

This box-pressed cigar offers a medium-bodied flavor with a subtle hint of mild to medium smoke. It also has notes of cedar, toasted nuts, and possibly coffee or cocoa.

Oliva Serie O

TL;DR - a classic cigar featuring Cedar Earth and mineral. Some herb in the long finish. Not mind-blowing, but certainly worthy. Recommended 👍 Aged 15 mos, dry-boxed 1 hour ⏳️ Pre-light honey 🍯 and barnyard. Light-up is easy 👌 Starting core is salty cedar. Goldilocks construction and draw. This is a classic linear cigar with the core developing into Cedar and earth / mineral. Burn 🔥 is a-ok. Medium flavors and medium nicotine.

Oliva Serie G

Good draw and great burn and ash. Medium-bodied, offering notes of cedar.

Oliva Serie G

TL;DR - a linear roasted Hickory smoke. Chalk long finish. Neither offensive nor delicious. Recommended, though only as give-aways at events like tailgates and barbecues. Aged 14 mos, dry-boxed 6 hours⏳️Light-up is easy👌Construction is fine, but not immaculate. The cigar is soft in many places, suggesting a loose pack. Draw is fine, if on the verge of airy. Initial impressions: roasted Hickory. As the linear smoke progresses, there are hints at toasted almond and dark chocolate, making very few appearances. This has not been an offensive cigar, but it's not delicious either. Burn 🔥 is fast and required touch-ups. Medium/light flavors and medium/light nicotine. Pairing ideas: this might be an ideal tailgate cigar: not amazing, but good enough for me to smoke; and cheap enough that I can hand them to anybody without caring what they do with it.
