Oliva Serie V Maduro

I am not sure how they are not worth the money personally, at $7 a stick they are worth it. Maybe Oliva decided to release them a little early but once they dry out a little bit they should be fine. Next time try an extended dry box maybe. I think in time people are going to wish these were more than just a limited release

Thought you said this was your favorite cigar out right now at the Herf

Well, the one I had was defnitely not worth $7. Of course, I paid a bit over $8.

I think at present they are a good $4-5 cigar. I saw potential in it, but it being a new cigar, we don't know if it will ever live up to that potential after some rest or age. Too many unknowns with this one right now. I wasn't impressed at all.

It is. I just think they will be even better with a little bit of time.

I have NEVER bought any Oliva that didn't need at least 8 months of rest to get the barnyard out of them.
Case in point, Special G Maduros.
Off the truck they're 100% unsmokable. 8 months later and they're phenomenal.
I just got a few of the V maduros today. I'm going to smoke one of them. I'll take it out of the wrapper and give it a week or two in the open air in my winador.
That'll allow me to judge if it's a worthwhile pickup or not.
If it is, I'd like to put 10 or 20 away till next summer.
