Flor de Oliva Robusto - Why'd I wait so long!

I had one that someone had gifted me and the wrapper blew up so bad I couldn't smoke it. Many people like them though.

They can be hit or miss sometimes. I have had trouble with the maddies in particular being very fragile. But that is what can be expected from a "bargain" line I guess. All in all, I usually keep a bundle iin the humi for an everyday smoke. I also don't mind putting one down if I run out of time for some reason, hey, they're like 2.00 right.

I smoked one of the naturals and the wrapper was sweet, but the cigar seemed kind of mild to me. I forgot about the Maduro's.

David:

Are these Flor de Oliva's still for sale? If so, kindly delete the posting as am totally committed to buying from you to save cost...

Actually, what I came in here to say is that I had an opportunity to smoke one in the BTT PIF thread a couple months ago. As you could tell from the review, I was a little put-off by the sweetened tip, the rest of the cigar was just okay. Definitely not bad for the price, but I probably won't search them out.

Glad you liked it, though!

Fragile maduros? The doesn't even make sense. Are you talking the wrappers?
