Oliva Serie O Maduro

New review posted at thread bottom.

First impression....not so good. I removed the cello and was disappointed in the wrapper quality. The wrapper was damaged and looked as if it was put on that way. There were large areas that looked like there were holes (dime size) in the original leaf. There were several veins throughout, including a very large one running the length of the stick. The cigar was additionally curved slighty. I've never saw this before. I fired the stick up anyways and wasn't really impressed. The cigar was on the harsh side and left a terrible taste in my mouth. The smoke was inconsistent, some draws produced large amounts of smoke, others I struggled to produce small amounts of smoke. That probably could be attributed to the curve. I was only able to smoke about an inch or less before I had to abandon ship. I've had very good Oliva's in the past and think this was probably a fluke. Anyone else have comments on this stick?

I smokes an Oliva Serie O Maduro Robusto tonight. I bought a box a couple months back and have had them resting in the humi for a while. I've always been impressed with all Oliva products from the Nub to the Serie V. This smoke was no different.

The wrapper was flawless, a beautiful dark chocolate color. I used a punch and it had a perfect draw with just the perfect amount of resistance. The burn was razor sharp, even on a windy night here in Afghanistan. Great flavors. I really couldn't ask for much more out of a cigar.

I've also had the O, and have to say it was pretty good. But now the Serie V is my new favorite.

I've got a Serie V Lancero waiting for me in my humidor at home. Can't wait to try it.

I wonder what jerk gifted you a bogus cigar! That guy must be a real @ss!

Some people know nothing about cigars and how they should be handled.

Funny you say that. In the last video, Alex dropped a bag of cigars on the table and it made me CRINGE!!!!

I just had the Serie O for the first time and it was definitely one of my top smokes so far (Im a noob), along side the ACID Liquid (red label), and my first cigar Perdomo Madono. Def will be buying one of these again, and will try the entire line.
