Oliva Master Blends 1
 
So I was so stoked to find that the B&M i bought these at before had a few more left, so I grabbed what was left of the box, and he sold me the box too. The box is the prettiest box I have seen a cigar come in yet, and the smoke matches it!

Both the smokes and the box look awesome! Nice pickup.

By far my favorite of the Master Blends. Love the box too.

I have smoked a few from my last grab, and I reviewed it somewhere (dont see it right now) It was phenomenal, especially considering the last run of these was at least 5 years ago. Very complex, very floral, medium bodied. I'll review the next one I smoke.

That box looks like it could be mounted on a wall!

The 3 is a great smoke, no doubts, but they lost some of the complexity of the earlier models. The common thread is robust flavor and huge smoke volume. Definitely a good one for me!

I have a full box of MB1 torpedos/robustos, MB2 torpedos, and MB3 robustos as well as various singles of all of them. I've smoked 2 of the MB1 torps and thought they were pretty mild. The boxes are really nice, but HUGE.

New to this Cigar world but Oliva seems to be a really nice smoke for me...I have an Oliva O think it was a Toro and I loved it!!! I will have to try other Mild Oliva sticks to find the ones I really like.

actually the box comes with a small screwdriver to remove the hinges. the top of the box has a slot so it can be hung on the wall like a framed picture after removal. i have smoked through a few boxes of these so far, and have a couple tucked away.

Thats good to know, maybe I'll do that.

actually, the lid is already prepared to be mounted to a wall, no joke! I have one of those boxes myself so I know. There is a small hole on the inside of the lid, so you can hang it over a screw and use it as a decorative picture on your wall. I'll try to make a pic of the back of the lid later today.

I had to PM Ian as to what the Master Blends are/were. Sounds like they are just as bad as the Oliva Bolds. More discontinued stuff to fall in love with and can't be found. :(
