and the f$^&@ importer in The Netherlands made sure nobody here could get a hold on them, as he gave 2 boxes away and sold all the others to a friend of his. He did that with the first batch of V torpedo's too, some Opus X releases and the Padron 80th anniversary. That guy sucks! He should lose his license.

Don't worry Don. I'm sure someone will take care of you

I bought two Olive V Maduros a couple of weeks ago. Smoked the first one a two nights ago. It was a excellent, pleasant smoke with great flavor.... for about 1/2 the stick. Then it wouldn't stay lit. I was kind of bummed out since I was enjoying it. After 4 or 5 attempts at relighting it, I gave up. Felt bad to throw away fully half of an $8 cigar.

I'll let the 2nd one sit in the humi for a few more months and before I try it.

Don't worry, pretty soon every post will be about the stupid sharks.

Yea... they should be out anytime this month and definitely by next month. I would expect them around Turkey Day!

How much do the sharks go for new?

Skywalker · 11-07-2008, 03:51 PM

The whole thing's a myth!!!

There were only suppose to be 50,000 in production and I have counted 57,042 just on Cigar Asylum alone!!!

Since when did you learn to count.

11-07-2008, 05:22 PM

Still on my need to try list. Maybe next time I go to a local B&M to pick make a quick pick or two.

Illusiones and Tat black seem to be the most common I read. I wasn't around for all the hype of these releases. Blacks still seem to cause quite a stir. Illusiones have died out a bit from what I can read.

Well, in a way, this is a GOOD Thing.

Normally when this sort of thing kicks off, it's called a FRENZY.

Then ODO kicks into overdrive....

Notable "frenzies" that cost me mucho dinero.....

Famous Nicaraguan3000 (the original frenzy was hilarious - the cigars were PHENOMENAL!!!)

La Vieja Habana Early Years Silencios (the OLD 40 count boxes)

CAO Brazilia Piranhas (commonly known as "Fishies")

CFO Reserva #7's (the goldfoots)

Some of us older guys (

) will tell you about something Oliva USED to do....

Oliva Segundos.....in a class of their own....

Which beings me to an even OLDER frenzy......

La Floridita Costa Ricans.....yummmies!!!!

11-07-2008, 05:41 PM

Cruzado.
I was not going to buy any more boxes, but I will have Cruzados.

Don Fernando · 11-09-2008, 09:39 AM

I moved to Ellabell, GA, if anybody needs my addy, pm

I'm fairly confident you didn't move to town. I'll just have it all go to the Netherlands and hope that you're still in the area.

Don Fernando · 11-09-2008, 09:44 AM

The Netherlands is quite a big place.

Guitarman-S.T- · 11-19-2008, 06:12 AM

did not care for it 1 bit... was WAY to exciting going into it, did nothing for me, My friend had the tightest draw imaginable... Mine had a decent draw.... but lost any flavor within minutes... i will give it one more try, and after that im signing off from Oliva
even the v's dont make par these days

That's why I came to the conclusion that I'm not even opening these for a while. From the mixed reviews I keep getting, I assume these are going to need some time.

Tat Black comes to mind.
