Re: oliva V maduro torpedo
Of the Oliva's I've smoked, the V maduro torp was the worst. From my notes: Rough, veined wrapper, 1st 1/4-bitter, end gave off acrid smoke, ammonian smell, got better after 5", even better with 3" left, went out several times. Lots of touch-ups.
The best Oliva I've smoked was a couple of serie G. From my notes: nutty/poor const. of head & soft/fell apart. repairs/damaged wrapper
The Serie O: too many touch ups, at 3" flavor picked up, had to puff alot
not worth the effort.
I guess I wasn't meant to smoke Oliva's. I do shop "specials". Maybe I'm getting seconds but the construction on everyone I've smoked has been fair/poor. I've had dollar cigars that were better smokes.
