is there a good oliva
 
i have had two olivas and both were horrible. i had a serie g and a serie o and did not much care for them but for some really strange reason i have the feeling there might be a good one out there some were.

Re: is there a good oliva
 
I'm not crazy about the Gs, they are ok. The Os, Vs, Master Blend, and whatever else they make I love.

Oliva G, V, O there all good, just depneds on your pallet. Personally i cant say weather a cigar is good or not. Bc it all depends on the person. So to say a cigar is bad, i cant really do that but there all diffrent.


Knip.

Try a V.

Maybe Oliva just isnt for you. I really enjoy their lines.

I really like the Olivia G maduros. The V's and Master Blends are also very good.

Re: is there a good oliva
 
I love the V maduro. Give that a try!!!

Re: is there a good oliva
 
The G's aren't great, but for the price they're pretty good, same with the O's if you're in the mood for something different. The V's however are amazing, one of my favorites, just be sure to eat a meal before hand, they pack a punch

Bill86 01-15-2011 02:48 PM

Re: is there a good oliva
 
I didn't care for the G's, didn't like the O's either. I think the V's are a great cigar though. The red cloth band is great too.

Taste is taste, smoke what you like, like what you smoke. It's that simple, really. I like Oliva blends myself.

:tpd: If you see these for sale, grab them! :dr

On the other hand, if you haven't had luck with Olivas so far, maybe try moving on to something else. What was it you didn't like about the G and the O? Consider that, then find a cigar that isn't like that.

Famous Nicaraguan 3K's might be my favorite. Never met an Oliva I didn't like.

V Maduros and the Masterblend Series are great Oliva sticks. Blue cloth or paper bands if you can find them. :dr :dr :dr

Re: is there a good oliva
 
I guess it just goes to show that we all have different tastes. I've yet to have a bad Oliva.

Krish the Fish 01-15-2011 05:45 PM

Re: is there a good oliva
 
I haven't had one I liked, but the last one I had was almost a year ago. I should try another Serie V to see if it was just me...

I liked the original Master Blends, for a while.

I'd have to agree there.

Re: is there a good oliva
 
I tend to enjoy there maduro cigars the problem with them is they are a tad pricy and always grab a Padron over them at that price point

cigarburns 01-16-2011 01:23 PM

Re: is there a good oliva
 
I like Oliva...not one of my favorite brands but they do make good stuff. I like the G and V series. Also don't forget that Oliva also makes Nub and Cain. I love the Cain F's...very strong cigars with a nice flavor to them.

EricF 01-16-2011 01:37 PM

I am currently smoking a Oliva V Churchill. It's a very tasty smoke.

RevSmoke 01-16-2011 03:42 PM

Re: is there a good oliva
 
Now, on to your question. For Oliva, just as for any other cigar, you need to find what you like and smoke them. There may be no Oliva you like. Personally, I cannot get enough of the Vs. I also enjoy the Connecticut reserves, although I think I'm an odd duck on that. I am not a big fan of the Gs, and I only enjoy a few Os.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

chippewastud79 01-16-2011 03:58 PM

Re: is there a good oliva
 
In my opinion they are the best brand from top to bottom. I like V's, Masterblends, Conneticut Reserves and Cain F's. O's and G's are great cigars for occasional cigar smokers as well. :tu

guitar4001 01-16-2011 05:40 PM

Re: is there a good oliva
 
i have heard good things about the master blend, but i have yet to try it. The Oliva Red/Blue band cigars are great for the money...20 cigars for $35, or something like that.

I like the Georges Reserve from Famous Cigars. Good flavor and construction. They run deals on them from time to time.

I had G series which I did not care for, but my distaste may have been exaggerated. because of the temperature. Long story short: didn't like it much, but would be willing to try another.

I have enjoyed every Oliva I have tried 1 not at first but revisited it.

I think he's referring to Flor de Olivas.

That makes a lot more sense now, thx.

fwiw the V lancero and Figurado can be quite nice when I'm in the mood for 'em.

Master Blend is a great cigar with the proper aging.
In fact, most of their sticks are good when aged. I've never had one that I enjoyed right out of the cello
