smbrink: phobicsquirrel:jozer and I both did a review on them. good cigars. Well then both Joz3r and the squirrel are LIARS!!! Everyone knows that the Oliva Serie V Maduro '09 is a myth!!! I wont believe it until I see it on a Daily Deal!!
kaelaria:I was gifted one by my buddy Ed of St. Pete Cigars and had it at his shop while we played dominoes Monday. It was OK, nothing wrong with it, but nothing fantastic. I'd say it's about 2x as much as it should be. I know I've had several that tasted just like it. Pretty consistent flavor, mostly just a slightly sweet leather and tobacco, tiny pepper zing. Great burn, draw on the slightly firm side, got about 1:30 from it in torpedo. Medium bodied at the most. In fact I just finished a La Aroma De Cuba New Blend for tonights video and it was almost identical - but much less $$.
phobicsquirrel:Yeah I know, but I enjoyed both, the 09 a bit more. Though I've only had one of the 09's. There seems to be a lot of love for the V maddies here, but at some other boards some are a bit more split. It's like any cigar I guess, some will love it, others won't. Padron is one, I am just not that into them, though some swear by it.
