Oliveros XL Double Corojo

[badwhale]

Thanks for the review. That sucks you found a bummer.

I too, am hard pressed to put a smoke down once its started, no matter how bad.

That being said, I can send you a fiver of DE Naturals for comparison (of dog shit)

I did not care for the 2 I smoked. Oliveros hasn't had a good cigar in 5 or so years

Thanks for the review. I have always been attracted to the packaging and look of the Oliveros but have never smoked one. I look for good experiences in smoking a cigar and so now I can safely say that avoiding them would be a wise choice. Thanks again. Roger.

Hmmm, I would caution you to not make decisions based on others experience with a cigar. Taste is very, very subjective and one mans dog-rocket is another mans weekend treat.

Nothing against the OP, or his reviewing prowess, but how do you know the relation between cigars he likes.......and the ones you like? It is best to be very familiar with the reviewers likes/dislikes, based on his past reviews vs. your experiences with the same cigar, imho.

Just to be clear, I have little experience with Oliveros, but I have a couple in the humi that this review won't prevent me from smoking.

Well I guess I should try for myself and see what I think then. It seemed that the review was a little bit on the harsh side. And yes, I admit not everyone likes or dislikes the same thing. So I guess I could try and see for myself. I think it's just a bit easy to be "influenced" by what people's perceptions are. But thanks for that. And I suppose there might be such a thing as the cigar was too new and not aged enough, or just ended up with a bad gar. Whichever the case, it is unfortunate that he had an awful experience with it. Thanks again. Roger.

Very true. I personally didn't like the XL, but others may love them. This review (and any review for that matter) should be taken with a grain of salt. Roger had a good point as well. The cigar may not have been aged properly, or could have just been a bad stick. I have a few more in the humi that I'll leave for a bit and I might try again.
