Oliva Serie V Lancero

Happy birthday!

I've not had that experience at all with the Lancero (or any size of the V). It could be that it just didn't pair well with your Guinness. By the way, next time you reach for Guinness stay away from the bottle - the can is MUCH better.

I've found that the V gets better with some age, but its still a good smoke for me just about any time. It could be that the profile just isn't your cup of tea at the moment.......let another one sit for a while and come back to it.

I do think the pairing had something to do with it. To me the Guinness was pretty much like drinking black coffee, and lately black coffee has been making me sick so i think i may have just associated the flavor with being sick. anyways i think i will let one sit for a while i mean it couldn't hurt, and my local B&M has these guys in all the vitolas for a pretty decent price.

received one of these in a trade. I was impressed, then again oliva has not really let me down yet. They do have some lower line families that are just ok. like the olor, oliveros and flor de oliva. The oliva v,s,g and o are some of my favorites. I have only had a few lanceros. this one I would definitely smoke again
