A forum for cigar lovers.
dubiousmonk:Must have been a fluke, Oliva Serie O Maduros are my fav and all the ones I have had, looked, smoked, burned and tasted awesome... odd indeed.
Heavy:3. Tell your dog you'll quit smoking cigars when he quits licking his a$$. That'll knock him off his high horse.
JZ: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?
kuzi16:ive never had an O that i liked. maduro or natural. the G's on the other hand.... i have never been let down by a G maduro.
laker1963:However I have had several of the O's and tons of the G's and have never had any serious construction problems with them. Have you Kuzi?
jlmarta:I stick a raisin in my belly button and pretend I'm a cookie.
laker1963: kuzi16:ive never had an O that i liked. maduro or natural. the G's on the other hand.... i have never been let down by a G maduro.Same here. However I have had several of the O's and tons of the G's and have never had any serious construction problems with them. Have you Kuzi? Love the G's, not so much the O's.I think these are much like Gurkha's... they may not be your cup of tea, but they are well made.Do you know the history of that particular stick? By that I mean did you purchase it from a B&M or online or was it gifted or what? Sounds almost like this stick may have been VERY wet at one time, and I don't mean green or fresh. That's the only thing I could think of.
