I've had a handful of the Olivia blend now. I had the V, V maduro, O, and G. All have been fantastic. I just polished off a V maddy and it was great. I haven't had a bad Olivia yet. The V maddy has definitely made it into my top 5 list. Gonna need to get my hands on some more. JK5 has some on hold for me, cause he's a great man.

I'll have to try the special G then. Thanks for the welcome.
[Reply]

you might want to try some el cobres by oliva Jon, I love those :-)

Olivia seems to be more about solid production of a few blends instead of going crazy like RP, Gurkha, or CAO and producing 30 different sticks.

Outside of a crazy bomb from you, where would I get these? Just looked on CI and they don't sell them.
[Reply]

I think they are a private label? Could be wrong though.

I am looking forward to one on Thursday night.:-)

Ferg!!!

For G-d's Sake man, quit soundin' like a newbie!!!!

O-L-I-V-A.....there ain't no I after the V......:-)

Def try the Master Blends 3. For my money I would take one over a VSG any day of the week :-) You know, now that you mention it I think that's what I'll be smoking tonight. Thanks for the reminder :-)

Glad I could be of assistance in this challenging decision. :-)

I'll join you in the Oliva Ho House.

I've only had 2 so far (O, robusto and perfecto), but I really enjoyed them. I have the rest of the sampler and a V Mad in the humi now and a box of O Churchills on the way.

Now I'm sizing up the online sellers (that ship to Canada) to figure out a more comprehensive purchase.

Oh dear :-).

You should have done a better job with the teaching, coaching, and mentoring then. Basically, I blame you.

My name is Celt and I am an Oliva HO!

Oh yes I dont think I have had one that I didnt love. Flor De Oliva Corojo bundles are my favorite budget smoke and absolutely love the Oliva O Series.

I had my first O series corona a while back and it was the closest taste just about that I have had to the couple REAL Cohibas my friend brought me back from WAY down south last year. The actual closest cigar I have had that tasted almost just like that Cohiba from WAY down south was a CAO Criollo.

Oh and the Oliva O tins, Habano wrapper are fantastic! lunch time smokes!
Going to have one right now as a matter of fact :-)

Carry on!

You should try and get your hands on an S. I smoked one a few weeks ago and it was a great smoke. I do have to admit, I haven't found an Oliva I didn't like.

Olivas are hard to beat, especially for the money. Among my favorites are the discontinued Bold O's, the O Churchill Maduro and the G Belicoso Maduro.
[Reply]

Oliva's are awesome! :-)
