Noob thoughts

[Little General]

After hearing the hype about these I had to pull the trigger and try a few.
My first was a V. Started out great but turned on the last third. I think it was a bit wet. It only taunted me for 2 days since I introduced it to its new friends in my humi. I also caught myself smoking it a bit fast which required a cpl purges. I won’t write it completely off my list but I’ll have to let the next purchase rest for a bit.

Then I tried the G. It was great in every aspect, all the way to the nub. This one I had for 2 months at 65% so that may have helped.

I really enjoy these, and look forward to trying some of their other sticks.

It's always good to let your purchases sit for a week or so depending on where you get them. Most B&M's maintain their stock fairly wet, there are some around me that keep them at 75% which is obviously too high.

Also, purging a couple times throughout the smoke is normal practice for me on all cigars, it definitely helps the flavor.

Buy a couple more V's in different sizes as well and try those after letting them sit in your humidor. That way they can be at the level that you usually smoke your other cigars at humidity wise.

Olivia cigars just rub me the right way.

Oliva's are grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat cigars. I've yet to have on dissapoint me. Whether it's a G, an O, a V or a Master Blend....always a tasty smoke that draws easily!! IMHO!

I love the O and I've had two V's one double toro which I didn't much care for but the flavor was great just too freakin big, and one lancero quite good. All around I'm finding them to be enjoyable smokes so far.

G's are good... V's are great; love the Figurado.

Other than the brand that rhymes with fisher and is not sweet, Oliva was my first introduction into the "cigar world". I have found them to be great cigars that I can enjoy about anytime anywhere.

Some people have the great ability to smell/taste every ingredient but I go by the after taste, and none have left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
