Not a big fan of the O, other than that though pretty much everything is great. The G belicoso is my fav cheap NC, the V maduro can easily compete with cigars twice its price, the V lancero is comparable as well to cigars two or three times it's price and the MB 3s that I've had are some of the best smokes possible after a heavy meal. Speaking of which I need to go post a WTB to try and find a couple of MB 1s or 2s.
p.s. def going to be smoking an oliva tonight

The one new O that I have found I like is the Churchill Maduro. Not nearly on par with the Bolds, especially the Ole, and probably not as good as G Maduros, but still a tasty smoke. But then, like papajohn, I love those Bolds.

I gotta say - I'm with John on this one. The newer O's are fine but the older Bold line is much much more complex (for me anyway). I just smoked an Ole this evening and it was like smoking chocolate covered cherries. It wasn't treacly or cloyingly sweet in the way that a sweetened cigar would be. But a very rich, very cocoa-type of fruit happening. MUCH different than the "newer" O line.
