Scored a brand-new facing from Oliva

My B&M is one of a handful that was selected by Oliva to introduce the Series V Ligero Especial before the official launch after the RTDA. I was able to pick up the figurado vitola, a very hefty stick that looks like it could be a two-hour smoke. I hope to burn this later today and can't wait to give my impressions. From what I understand, it's blended to be as powerful as a cigar can get, without actually killing the smoker...OK, without becoming so strong as to be unsmokable. This should be good!
 
I smoked one last night. It was a toro shape, not sure what they're calling it. It wasn't bad. It was pretty strong, needed quite a few touch-ups, but (much to my surprise) I enjoyed the cigar.

This one came from a pre-launch party held here on Saturday. I tried a few puffs off of one that night and thought it tasted like crap (to be fair, I was puffing on a 1997 Bolivar Inmensa at the time). However, taken on its own, the Series V wasn't a bad smoke.
