Any Oliva Serie V Fans?

**JRas224** · 02-13-2008, 08:33 PM

I saw the Torpedo in this line got a 94 rating and the number 4 spot in CA's Top 25 of 2007 List. So naturally I just ordered a Belicioso off of Tampa Humidor to see what all the hype is about. Anybody got a take on this one?

Not the torp, but a couple of others. The V did not do much for me. I found it one dimensional and boring for the price.

I love the O's and MB's and smoke an occasional S.

just got through smoking the Series V Torp. Pretty dang good cigar. Good price, too. I paid a little over $5. Can't go wrong with Oliva.

I like them alot.

The V is a very good cigar. I have found the Torbusto and DBL Curchill to be very tasty.

I like them too.....been smoking the lancero lately.

I was fortunate enough to be gifted one during a Baltimore Herf. Great smoke! I liked it so much, I went and tried to buy some at the local B&M. All sold out in all my local B&Ms. Went out of town and noticed a B&M had 15 left of the Double Robustos. Took them all, and smoked one that evening. It was great!

IMO everything from the Special G to the MB3 are good to very good. I have tried most of them with the Special S being one of my favorites. The Serie V is certainly at the top of my list with Serie O my least favorite although I wouldn't give them to the goats.

There is a reason why alot of people can't keep the V's on the shelf.

I love em!

**islcigar** · 02-14-2008, 11:27 AM

they are great......i have problems keeping them in stock. IMO Oliva is a great company. FYI......i'm hearing sizeable increase in production on the V line and quality could suffer.

The V's are pretty damn good for me. I love the lancero, we've been selling them so fast they don't stay on the shelves at the cigar shop I work at. I've yet to try the other sizes, but the next shipment of lanceros we get, I'm in for a whole box. Plus it's a bargain at only $5.

Well, whenever that box comes in.....give me a shout, maybe we can work something out for a 5er trade. I've been buying 2-3 lanceros everytime I go to the b/m.....except yesterday, they were out!! I don't expect them to be replaced very soon. They did have other sizes though so I'm not gonna have to go totally without.

I've had 3 different sized and loved 'em all. I bought a box of the Lanceros 3 weeks ago after having just one of 'em. I had a Toro sized one and found it good, and that big-ass perfecto and that was great.

If you can't get your hands on any, LMK and we can do a trade. I'm going to New Joisey for a week in early March, so there'll be no jacking around with Customs if you're OK to wait that long.

Sounds good.....I don't look for my B/M to be restocked anytime soon from what the tobacconist said. I'll be on vacatin from 22 Feb to 10 Mar....so it would have to be after that, but I'm game. Does that fit in with your trip?

**slcraiders** · 02-14-2008, 04:37 PM

I am so in the minority here. Sounds like a popular choice, the V.

Will do my man, we've ordered at least five boxes, lets see how many we get and then I will let you know.

Yep, it probably would, but from the sounds of it, baka might be able to hook you up sooner.

Excellent cigar. Big fan of it. I wish someone around here sold them.

**Smoky Contemplation** · 02-15-2008, 05:06 AM

Although I'm usually skeptical about high reviews, the guys at CA were pretty spot on with the V Torpedo. Solid smoke. One of the smoothest full-bodied cigars that I've had. Price is great. Hope that this new popularity in Oliva won't hurt quality control.
