Cloth band Olivas? Anybody smoke them?

[ysr_racer]

Anybody smoke cloth band Olivas? I picked up a few, and have them in my humi.

Three vanilla, and three chocolate.

Don't know which ones to burn first.

Brad...they are terrible...send them to me and I will dispose of them for you. :D

You know me...smoke the chocolate first. :dr :dr

That's because they aren't made anymore. I have three in my humi. Hard to resist.

I have a red cloth band that Backwoods357 gifted me recently. Its been a while since I smoked one, maybe I'll burn it this weekend :ss

That explains it.

[maninblack]

Yeah and if you find any, buy them immediately.

[never_enough]

And if I don't like them send them to you right? Haha

[maninblack]

I don't think you'd have a problem getting rid of them here.

An awesome cigar. One of the first real cigars I smoked a long time ago. I buy any I see. If you have some, enjoy them. All of them.

[lenguamor]

They've been discontinued for about 10 years.

What Joe said. They've been discontinued for a long time, from what I've heard they are VERY good. I've never had one myself but if you don't like them you will sell them in no time.

[Hem]

Just make sure you let us know when you're going to sell them so we can take the day off work and prepare for your thread :) lol

[Boz]

Yeah and if you find any, buy them immediately.

X2 or tell me so I can buy them immediately :r

Photo for you.........Brad ,smoke either one,you cannot lose.
Red band is earthy and leathery,smooth and very elegant.
Blue band is deep and rich,fuller bodied and lingering flavors............

Those are the same series but not the cloth bands. Seems most people really want the original ones.

[Brian D.]

I used to smoke so many of those I saved the bands and sewed them together into a shirt. :D Okay not really but back in the day of the cloth bands Oliva was already a favorite brand. Heck I go all the way back to when they only made Flor de Olivas.

For folks who smoke the band ?

I removed a couple of trays to refill an oasis in a humidor, and stupidly dropped a damn tray. Played pick-up-all-the-cigars, and found a torpedo with the blue cloth band I had no idea was in there. I'm guessing it's been sitting in that tray since around 06-07. It's a dark wrapper, so maybe a maduro?

I use to really love the red cloth band Olivia, but I smoked them all up in 2006 and could never find them again. :sh

Great cigars and IMO in their prime, especially for the churchills. Handed out and smoked my last four with some friends recently. A completely amazing smoke.
