Question - Oliva Series V

Lancero by 1.564 miles...followed fairly closely by the Figurado. These two sizes seem to highlight a dark sweetness and also seem to deliver a gradually increasing build of strength....right up to a solid "medium". The combination is what makes it. The torpedo was fine as well but paled IMO to the lance and fig. The only one I have had that I could say I somewheta disliked was the rubusto
 
Lancero. The blending is perfect. I was told by an Oliva rep that the Lancero was the size that they used when they were trying to perfect this blend. It shows.
 
Lancero. I get much more flavor from that size. As Bob said, The wrapper to filler ratio is much better in the Lancero, and that delivers a more enjoyable flavor.
 
Smoked them all and hands down love the Belicoso. Hard to say why but seems to smoke out taste wise and time wise...just right.
 
Another 'V' Lancero guy here. I like the size so much that now I'm specifically searching out other lanceros.
 
Lancero was the first in this line I smoked. Really enjoyed it and tried to purchase more but it is the hardest to find. Have smoked more of the Churchills and bellicosos mostly because they were available. Would recommend any of the shapes in this line so if you have a preference, go for it!
