Grow a sack young Jedi. What does not quite kill us only makes us stronger.:-)

They are not that strong once they get some rest in the humi, but they are tasty!
[Reply]

They still have some kick to them but are not as strong as some others that I have had.
[Reply]

Are these even available anymore? I've been looking for them but so far every source for Oliva that I know is out of stock (and there doesn't seem to be any plans on restocking them either).

Check page 1 of this thread. I put a link to a source on there.

Just smoked one gifted to me by the slippery Shilala and absolutely loved it!!

I highly recommend it if you are looking for a magnificent mound of maduro taste!! :-)

Pick up a bundle of robustos, they aren't as strong as I thought they would be. I must have fried my taste buds :-), but all and all a very tasty cigar! I would pick these up again, with out a doubt. :-)

I snagged one of these in a pass. I can't wait to try it. Thanks for the review!
[Reply]

Then I'm sure Paul would love these. Oh, thats right. He's still digging himself out from underneath the "Birthday" rubble:-):-)
[Reply]

Hmmm so I am not the only one that noticed it.
I would not even call them full bodied anymore...
[Reply]

Yeah, I purchased some of these over a year ago and didn't think they weren't nearly as strong as I had read. I thought the LFD DL Chisel kicked me harder than the El Cobre.

They STILL stink (but such a good stink) just as much as they did back when I first bought them though!

I just smoked another one of these yesterday and it was excellent. Once again, not nearly as powerful as they've been hyped to be, but absolutely delicious, full, and a true pleasure to smoke.
I walked around for ten minutes with the nub in my mouth once it was done. I don't think I've ever done that with any cigar.

just drybox them Scott, the dryer they get, the more power.
[Reply]

Smoking one right now...

Love this little butt-kicker! Scott described it well. I was gifted this one... planning on getting some more. :-)

The guy who gave it to me included it in a bunch of strong smokes... I think he was trying to kill me - but I really liked this robusto. :-)
[Reply]

Whew... half-way through...

Legs are feeling a little wobbly. :-)
[Reply]

:-)
[Reply]

you should try the torpedo, it starts off less strong and builds slowly towards how the robusto is :-)
[Reply]

i will have to try one or more of these....i generallly like the oliva line, particularly the V series
[Reply]

Eat something first... and don't smoke it while operating heavy equipment. :-)
[Reply]

I have always wanted to try one of these, but cant get my hands on one.
