Question about Oliva Serie O's

Anyone know if the Serie O uses the same filler through the product line? Could I expect the same smoke, regardless of the size I choose? Thanks for any help

    Indeed sir, the cigar is a Nicaraguan Puro with the same filler, binder, and wrapper throughout the line. Smoke safely and smoke with confidence:)

    I just ordered my first ever 5 pack today from Ccom and chose to go with 3 Oliva O maduros and 2 G maduros. The guy I spoke with said he'd rather just make things easy for me and threw in an additional G for free to even it up. I love this passion more every day!

    yes they are the same filler binder and wrapper. but the wrapper to filler ratio is different. this COULD yield a different flavor if they were not re-blended for each size to keep them consistent. the cuban style is to not reblend and allow the shape to dictate some flavor. the newer style is to reblend so they all taste the same. the real question is:
    does Oliva stick with the old tradition or are they a fan of the modern style.

    From the Oliva's I've smoked, various blends and sizes within those blends, I'd have to argue that they do reblend for consistency, though I don't know for a fact. For the most part, no big differences in flavor are apparent to me, and the key changes I think are dictated by the gauge of the cigar, ie higher/lower wrapper : filler ratio. It would be interesting to get some official word on this matter though.

    I'm normally a fan of the milder/smoother cigars; I really don't like anything with a powerful or dominating taste to it. But then again, I've been surprised by my preferences/cigars before, and the way you guys are going on about the V, I might have to try it.
    I tried the G yesterday - it tasted a lot like the O, but with a stronger taste to it
