Oliva Serie V Club Cigarillos - Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum

I am curious if anyone has smoked these? They are 3.8x22 and about 80 bucks for 100 at CA. I love Serie V's, but never had the cigarillos. The last couple years I rarely smoke a cigar all the way to the nub. I have bought a couple different cigarillos and like the fact they are 20 minutes and that's about right for my smoking lately. Thinking about pulling the trigger on some.

What the heck, I have forgotten I get 10% off because of first responder so I ordered them. How bad can they be if they are Oliva?

I never had these, but I had the Oliva Viejo Mundo cigarillos. For a cigarillo those are pretty good, although I would never recommend a cigarillo to a cigar smoker as to me they are almost cigarettes

I don't inhale them, lol. I just had some cigarillos from a bomb way back in the day. I didn't smoke but a couple over the years. The last couple years I rarely smoke any cigar that is robusto or bigger all the way. I bought some Joya Reds in cigarillo several months ago and like them because they don't take an hour or more to smoke, which works out good for me.

Okay, so I got them and tried one right away. Not bad, but didn't seem to taste anything like a Serie V.

That's disappointing.

I will give them some time in the humid and see what happens.

They don't taste the same because they are dry-cured.

Thanks, I didn't know that or even what dry cured was, but now I do thanks to you.:-)

Figured I would update this since it's been about 5 months since I bought these and have had a chance to smoke maybe 25 of them. They maybe do have a little Olive V flavor but not a lot. But they are pretty good short smokes anyway. I will probably buy more once these are gone. I also bought 100 of the the Joya Red cigarillo's as well. They are quite a bit bigger than the Oliva's and I like those pretty good too. Prolly buy the Joya Black and try those next time.

I had a long term assignment once which required living in a no smoking hotel. I really liked the Partagas Black Prontos for a walk around the neighborhood. Nice little cigar.
