Oliva?

[supergirl]

I went through the first few pages here, and didn't find any Oliva reviews...

Curious as to why not? I'm interested in trying out the line, just not sure yet.

See Bkcloud114's sigtag:

I'm not big on doing reviews, tobacco doesn't taste like "cocoa" or "nutty" or "mocha" to me, it tastes like freakin' TOBACCO. I know what I like and I really don't care what other people think of other cigars. I've never read a review and said to myself "Wow, that sounds like a cigar I'd like to try!"

That's a quote from an extremely, intelligent and insightful member here.

There are MANY different Olivas. Which ones in particular are you interested in? I used to really like the "O" Bolds but I think they've been discontinued.

I pretty much only smoke high end cigars these days so I haven't smoked any of the newer Olivas, sorry....

I have.

I have.

Ya know what, I think maybe I did about twenty years ago and when I actually smoked the cigar that was raved about in a "review" and it turned out to be one of the worst cigars I ever smoked, I adopted the philosophy in the quote.

I agree that your taste and my taste probably differ, but having had a very countable number of cigars since I've started I like to have a place to start when I'm looking for something to try. It beats going to the store and picking one that looks good.

Yep, good point. I guess I've just tried so many over the years, I know what I like and what I don't like and I can smell a BS "review" from a mile away so I've become a little cynical.

I think general comments on a certain brand are more useful than a specific review of a certain cigar.

For instance, 99 times out of 100 all cigars of a certain line like say Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 all taste and smoke the same and you should pick a vitola based on your preference for size. However, I've seen reviews from asshats that will say that the Toros suck and the Torpedo are far superior.

Silly me..I came to the review forum looking for reviews.

Thanks to everyone for their input and for the links! I appreciate it.

The S line is good. I've had O and G and didn't like them to well but the S had a coco taste. First time I have ever taste much of anything except the LGC serieR

[nhcigarfan]

Wait a minute. Are discussing cigars here?

[cigar no baka]

Yes, back to discussing cigars, which is what we used to do before.....ah, it's not worth it...

I love the Oliva Master Blends. The 2 was better thant the 3, but the 3 is all that is available now unless you're lucky and find a stash. It's a cool, creamy smoke and I love the taste profile.

The S series is a fantastic cigar as well, it shifts in taste several times for me, I would recommend trying it.

The O series, it's a good value smoke, but nothing special. I don't like the G series, it has a dry taste to it that turns me off.

How's that for feedback?
