Oliva Serie V Maduro

elderboy02 · 10-24-2008, 06:31 PM

Date: 10/24/08

Cigar: Oliva Serie V Maduro (6.5 x 52)

Cost: $8

Drink: Coke

Temperature: 46 F, 10 mph winds

Appearance: 1 banded cigar that says "Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial" on the band. The wapper was smooth with no major veins showing.

Pre-light: Didn't really have any special scent to it. I didn't really pick up any special taste pre-light.

Taste of the cigar: This cigar was chocolatey, spicy, and had a little bit of coffee flavor. It also had a nice sweetness to it. It never got harsh.

Construction: Held an long ash. The draw was perfect. The cigar required a few touchups.

Strength: This was a full flavored cigar. I didn't get a nic buzz from it.

Halfway through:

3/4 through:

Summary: This cigar was delicious. These are better than the regular Oliva V's. I would definitely buy this again. OLIVA NEEDS TO MAKE THESE AGAIN! I give this a 9.5/10.

Thanks for the great review! I thought it was good, but defiantely needed some time to rest (it was pretty much right off the truck)...

Great review and I love the pictures. I'm like a little kid, I flip (scroll) through the photo's then read. I just picked up two boxes from my local B&M. They have four boxes open and ready, just screaming "Waynegro1, Waynegro1, Take us to our new home" I couldn't resist. This is why I don't go to the humane society. What ya gonna do?
Again, great review.

So hard to find at local B&Ms lately because of the limited production, but that's part of what makes it so special! I LOVE this cigar....great review, bro!

groogs · 10-30-2008, 11:33 PM

Thanks for the review. It makes me want to tear into one right now, but I must show restraint for at least a week.

10-31-2008, 10:33 AM

Good review, thanks. I had one of these earlier in the week and i liked it all the way down to the toothpick holding nub. They are hard to find locally, only one B&M have them around here.

I still am leaning towards the "G"'s. I am a fanatic about them. But the "V" was definitely a good smoke.
