I have a box of Oliva V Maduros now in my hands.

11-03-2008, 04:44 PM

I plan on smoking one tonight. I will report back.

It must be the day that AZ folks finally get their crack at these. Mine came today also!

11-03-2008, 04:59 PM

I have just got my box in and smoked one OTT. Good cigar but needs time to rest IMO. In a few months I think they will be great

Mine came in on Saturday but I just picked it up from work today. Birthday present from the boss.

It smells really good.

Where can I get a job like that?

I hope rest does help them..far from impressed with the one I smoked. Put a couple away and mailed off the rest today to 5 other BOTL to sample.

No really... I'm happy for you!!!

groogs · 11-03-2008, 05:27 PM

Congrats, I hope you enjoy them.

After a long search on the web and locally, I picked up a few boxes and once they arrived I ended up with a COLD!

I just simply stare at them waiting....

Nice pick up by the way!!

kgoings · 11-04-2008, 07:48 AM

Got my box last Wed, not smoking one because I had one the week before and they need rest.

Consider yourself lucky... My B&M is yanking my chain "We dont have them yet and don't know when to expect them" they won't hold them for anyone when they do arrive. I think I missed my window. Enjoy

icantbejon · 11-04-2008, 09:03 AM

I have a box waiting on me till I get home. They will have a nice month or so sitting in a box waiting on me to get home. I can't wait to try them.

Silound · 11-04-2008, 10:01 AM

I was not impressed with the initial smokes I had. They tasted like maduro cardboard

Like other brothers said, these need a month or two to settle out from shipping. I do believe they have a LOT of potential, and I think this may be a cigar worth keeping for several years to see what they taste like in a year or so.

I have almost two boxes (18 total) sitting aside for a while to see how they shape up in a few months.

Yeah I thought I was going to smoke one last night but ended up at Habanos Torres enjoying some pre-election smokes Tim wanted to test out. He's got this rosado wrapper that's really tasty and has some good spice to it.

Am happy to say I'm one of the lucky recipients. Guess I'll let it rest for a couple of weeks, but that's as long as I'm going to wait!

Thanks, Just put in my order... Guess I will get to try one of these!

Smoked one tonight. Holy ****. That thing is strong. First cigar I've ever smoked that was not over powered by the Lagavulin. It reminded me of an LFD DL Oscuro Churchill but not as sweet. I think it definitely needs to sit for a year or two. ****ed me up good. I was smoking with the boss and he thought it had an aroma like another plant that I enjoy so much.
