Hawk55:Good day folks. Had the pleasure of trying for the second time, an OSV double toro that had been in my humi for about five months...It was awesome. Started off slow and just kept building and building....nice aroma and taste, lots of woodsy spice and sweetness..maybe mocha and caramel. At any rate it was very enjoyable with Gentleman Jack on the rocks. I really smoked this one down to the nub...try one--again.

I really smoked this one down to the nub...try one--again.I have had several of the V's in the double Toro and I think it is in this Vitola that the brand shines it's best. They are tasty in general, but the DT's bring out everything this stick has to offer. I agree they start out a little slow, but build from the start and when that sweet spot hits a couple of inches in... it is an incredible , and enjoyable long finish..
Hawk55:Haven't had the pleasure of the figurado yet....Double Robusto, Torpedo, Maduro Torpedo, Churchill...I have never been disappointed with the V serie. So until I am fortunate enuf to try the figurado...of the ones listed the Double Toro is absolutely heavenly....Never a disappointement with the Oliva Serie V. ..hey laker1963, got one laying around to send me...

I actually burned thru almost a whole box before I realized that I should have put several away for some aging. There were several sent out here to BOTL here at the forums.NOW I would kill to have that box again...I would do things differently, I can tell you that.

Kuzi, why would the fig be any better? They are the same but one has the tipped cap?

kuzi16: phobicsquirrel: Kuzi, why would the fig be any better? They are the same but one has the tipped cap?the constantly changing wrapper to filler ratio gives it an extra subtle complexity that the double toro does not have. the foot is capped in a strange way. check this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/awh3/2487692187/there is a mild taper all the way down. you can really see it when you lay it down and roll it on a table.
TatuajeVI:I saw the figurado at my local B&M this past weekend. Mmmm did it look delicious. $9.50 was a little steep for the price, but I may have to go grab a couple just on Kuzi's recommendation.
