I like the review. I thought this for sure would be a 4 on the Legend scale from what I have read about it. At least you added the .5 though.What kind of IPA was it?

Boy Shawn,
You are insatiable!

I give you a cigar and less than 3 hours later it's smoked!

Wow.

Glad you enjoyed it. Still havn't smoked mine!

Remember a 4 is a top 25 stick. That's a tough nut to crack.

It was Metolius Dolly Varden IPA. Was actually my first time trying it. It was pretty good and on sale.

My favorite IPAs are stone. Hop-ottin. And Firestone hop31 (technically a California pale ale)

Double IPA. Oggi's hop juice. Ruination. Hop15 (left coast )

I didn't see the Oliva V Maduro torp (6.5 x 50) on that site.

I just lit one up. I'm 1/2" into the cigar and hoping things get better. A lot better.

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.
