I've had a handful of the Olivia blend now. I had the V, V maduro, O, and G. All have been fantastic. I just polished off a V maddy and it was great. I haven't had a bad Olivia yet. The V maddy has definitely made it into my top 5 list. Gonna need to get my hands on some more. JK5 has some on hold for me, cause he's a great man.

Olivia seems to be more about solid production of a few blends instead of going crazy like RP, Gurkha, or CAO and producing 30 different sticks.

Outside of a crazy bomb from you, where would I get these? Just looked on CI and they don't sell them.

I think they are a private label? Could be wrong though.

Def try the Master Blends 3. For my money I would take one over a VSG any day of the week :dr You know, now that you mention it I think that's what I'll be smoking tonight. Thanks for the reminder :D

I'll join you in the Oliva Ho House.
I've only had 2 so far (O, robusto and perfecto), but I really enjoyed them. I have the rest of the sampler and a V Mad in the humi now and a box of O Churchills on the way.
Now I'm sizing up the online sellers (that ship to Canada) to figure out a more comprehensive purchase.
Oh dear :hn.

You should have done a better job with the teaching, coaching, and mentoring then. Basically, I blame you.
My name is Celt and I am an Oliva HO!
Oh yes I dont think I have had one that I didnt love. Flor De Oliva Corojo bundles are my favorite budget smoke and absolutely love the Oliva O Series.
I had my first O series corona a while back and it was the closest taste just about that I have had to the couple REAL Cohibas my friend brought me back from WAY down south last year. The actual closest cigar I have had that tasted almost just like that Cohiba from WAY down south was a CAO Criollo.
Oh and the Oliva O tins, Habano wrapper are fantastic! lunch time smokes!
Going to have one right now as a matter of fact :D
Carry on!

You should try and get your hands on an S. I smoked one a few weeks ago and it was a great smoke. I do have to admit, I haven't found an Oliva I didn't like.

Olivas are hard to beat, especially for the money. Among my favorites are the discontinued Bold O's, the O Churchill Maduro and the G Belicoso Maduro.

I'll have to keep my eyes out for a sampler I guess. Give this whole line a try. Smoked my last one today, so I'll be going back for more shortly after getting home I suppose.

Haven't met an Oliva I didn't like!!
The S is THE most anal retentive cigar you will own....no BS....awesome smoke, but you GOTTA watch the humidity EVERY day.....no joke

All this talk is making me want another one now. Why did no one clue me in earlier on these so I could have bought them? Again, I'm blaming tobii.

Well grab them while you can as the storyline that I have heard is they either have or are soon to be discontinued.
My Favorite in the S Series is the 6x46 Special S Diadema.
Had my 1st Oliva today , a Serie G Maduro... Don't know why I waited so long to try one . :hm It won't be too long before I have another!!!

Guilty here as well. I have been an Oliva fan for about 2 years, since I started.
They are always satisfying and consistent for me. The O will always be my favorite, sungrown and maduro. I read so many good things about the Gs, but sadly have not become very familiar with them. I think I'll try to change that tonight.:ss

Just got my V maddies and will smoke as soon as weather permits. I haven't had the S but I have had the others. it's easy to become an oliva whore.

You know you're right. I don't think I have ever had a bad Oliva cigar, EVER!:tu
