Oliva Serie G Maduro Torpedo

[here'sjohnny]

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.

I smoked the Series G box pressed churchill, Cameroon wrapper.

I love the Series G, one of my favorite. Definitely a great smoke, gets better in the last third. Very even burn, lots of smoke, and I've only had one that was wrapped too tight out of the 10 or so I've smoked.

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.

In my opinion, I think you've hit on one of the best NC cigar wrappers out there - the Cameroon (not maduro, unfortunately).

Give the Cuesta Rey Stanford's Cameroon Reserve a shot - you won't be disappointed, especially if you liked the Oliva Series G...

And if you want to have a maduro that will blow your socks off, try the ISOM Cohiba Secretos or Magicos Maduros 5.

I'm gonna agree wholeheartedly with George on the Cuesta Rey Stanford's Cammie. I was gifted one from a LEO from down south and was blown away. (thanks again!)
