Default Oliva Serie 'G'

Not a full review by any means, but the "Special G" size of these smoke is a great deal on a great smoke. Well constructed, starts off spicy and mellows out through the middle.



Perfect burn all the way through, nice strong ash. Will by again for sure

I love the Special G's. I think they are perfect for the winter.

Not a huge fan of the G's except the little maduro perfecto but they do have a great price point and I sent a bunch of them off to the troops.

The serie G is an awesome smoke. This is one that I try to keep in my humidor all the time. The Serie V is awesome as well. Excellent aroma as well.

I especially like the Special G, Perfecto and Belicoso in Maduro and the Torpedo in Natural.

Thanks for the review. The maduro is my favorite cigar but I have never found an Oliva that I did not like. Probably the most consistent of any manufacturer.

Thanks for the review.

I may revisit these. I used to LOVE the old "Grand Cameroon" blend, tried a few of the newer ones and didn't care for them. But in the cigars' defense, the B&M I bought them at keeps their humidity in the mid 70s.

I have one of the small Grand Robusto Maduro's left. Would be happy to send it your way if you like.

Had my first G this weekend...I swear I tasted caramel. It was good, burned like a champ, heavy but smooth.
