I might be turning into an Olivia whore.
 
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.

you might want to try some el cobres by oliva Jon, I love those :ss

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

Glad I could be of assistance in this challenging decision. :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.

Re: I might be turning into an Olivia whore.
 
Oliva's are awesome! :dr

Re: I might be turning into an Olivia whore.
 
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.

I will try to get an S Series... you whore!!!:r

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

icantbejon 10-28-2008 09:51 AM

Re: I might be turning into an Olivia whore.
 
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!!!

Love me some Vs !

Re: I might be turning into an Olivia whore.
 
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

Scottw 10-28-2008 07:58 PM

Re: I might be turning into an Olivia whore.
 
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
