Oliva V Maduro

My absolute favorite cigar is the Oliva Serie V, so when I heard a maduro version was being released I HAD to get my hands on some. From what I'd read this would be a very limited/hard to find stick. I went to my local B&M today but they didn't have any and didn't know when they'd get 'em in (picked up a Special S & an AB Tempus instead).

I checked CI on a whim & saw they've got boxes for sale ($73.50)... one box headed my way!!! :smiley4:

I dig the special S. Nice full bodied smoke although different than the V it is just as smooth however it is a bit more money so I tend to stick with the V.

Agree 100%. While the S is a nice smoke, I think it's a bit too pricey. And I think the V is a nicer smoke. When it first came out I suspected that Oliva might even drop the S line.

I have noticed that the V seems to be better young (to me anyway) rather than with some age on it. Anyone else notice this?

I've never managed to keep any long enough to find out. :smiley36:

Actually I have experienced just the opposite. The V lancero is one of my rotation smokes, and I usually try to stock up so they can rest a couple of months at least in the humi. For me this additional rest rounds out the profile for me. Different strokes I guess.

V Maduros

These Oliva Serie V Maduros are one of the best sticks I've had in a long time! If you can get some, grab them while they're available. Excellent quality and extremely rich taste! :smiley17:

Good stuff, but I agree with Mark. Too pricey. However, I think we'll see some "specials" before to long.
