Oliva Serie G Maduro Torpedo

[daredog4]

Im sure most of you have tried this cigar so i won't write a book about it. I will just say that up to this point I have smoked many different maduro cigars, some great and some not so great. Honestly this cigar has to be the best cigar i have had so far. Smooth, dark maduro wrapper. Perfect box-pressed construction. Even burn, long ash, and probably produces the most velvety-white smoke i have ever encountered in a cigar. Smooth and creamy with lots of spice. I mean this sucker made my tounge tingle long after i had finished smoking it.

Rating:
Construction - 10/10 (Dark, Oily, Toothy)
Draw - 10/10 (I love an easy draw)
Ash - 10/10 (almost 2 inches before i tapped it off)
Burn - 9/10 (not perfect but close)
Finish - 9/10 (lots of spice)
Smoke - 10/10 (TONS of it)

Average 9.7

If you are looking for a creamy, sweet, and spicy cigar with a great draw and LOTS of smoke then please try this cigar. Please check out this link and you will see how much smoke this sucker produces.

Good review. I have smoked many Serie G's, and they have to be oneof my favorites, but i have not tried the maduro, however with good marks like that i'll have to move it up on the list. I also am a big fan of Oliva, and with the exception of the V (with other's reviews i am convinced i got a bad stick) they are my favorite cigar company.

Thanks for the review. I haven't tried the Maduro, but I really enjoy the natural. I will have to check out the maduro.

Oliva = High Standards

I've enjoyed most. Special S are worth a try.

Since some of you havn't had the maduro i thought i would quote the inscription on the inside of the lid.

"Maduro Broadleaf"
"These cigars have been made using only the finest genuine African Cameroon wrapper. The filler and binder are all Nicaraguan. Habano fillers grown on Oliva Cigar Family farms. All our cigars are handmade under the strict guidelines set forth by our founder in the traditional Cuban way."

So I am assuming that the wrapper on this cigar is an aged Cameroon broadleaf. I must say that the quality of the wrapper is one of the highest i have seen on a maduro. Hope you get the chance to try one.

I'm with Johnny and Denver. I've enjoyed the natural thoroughly but haven't tried the maduro. Guess I'll have to fix that soon! Haven't heard much about the S series. I'll give those a shot to.

Straight from the website.

Serie G Maduro is a medium body blend made with Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. The unique flavor notes of this wrapper are complimented by the natural richness of Nicaraguan Habano fillers.

Are you sure you smoked the Maduro and not their Serie G Cameroon? Not trying to be a dick but it does happen periodically that you may pick up a cigar and smoke it not knowing that it is a maduro or not, some Padrons actually have a pretty dark Natural leaf and you smoke them thinking Maduro.

This is what the website has to say about the Serie G Cameroon.

Serie G is a medium body blend made with authentic African-Cameroon wrapper. The unique flavor notes of theis wrapper are complimented by the natural richness of Nicaraguan Habano fillers.
