Re: Oliva Serie V Double Robusto
Smoking one of these right now.
I have not been impressed with the Vs I've smoked. Couple of lanceros, couple of these and about half a V Maduro (tossed it around halfway).
Why?
They tasted like ammonia to me. BUT...in my neverending journey through cigardom, I recently realized that I smoke too fast. Making an effort to smoke slower has REALLY made a difference, especially with CCs.
So I decided to try another Oliva V. This one has been in the humi for 8-9 months.
Nice smoke...STRONG but not harsh through the nose. Nice flavors. Coffee, unsweetened cocoa, spice, and even a strange booze kind of flavor. Lots of subtle flavor changes.
I have officially changed my mind about the Oliva V. I can see myself laying a box of these down for a year or so. Probably a different size though - 54 RG is too fat.
