Had a cam. today. It had the same flavor all the way through. Also it wasn't an hour smoke, more like 35 min. or so. To me, it really seemed like an average Cam. cigar that was cut in half. Nothing special. I'm going to try the Conn. in a day or two and the Habano is back ordered so I'll try one later.

All in all, nothing special. Sweet spot? Nope, like I said, it is a cigar cut in half.

I like all cigars....I never lean towards one or the other. It's just a matter of what I feel like smoking at that very moment. I know that doesn't help but there ya go.

The habano line supposedly is the same blend as the V...this information was given to me by someone very VERY close to the Oliva people...

Wasn't it created by somebody who used to work for Olivia but now doesn't? I didn't think this cigar had any direct ties to Olivia.

Created by one of their long time reps, Oliva backed the rep up 100%. Oliva tobacco, rollers etc.

Yep, Sam Leccia......he was a rep for them and I believe that Oliva helped him get it started up. If like Guado said, one of the blends is the same as the V, it would somehow have to be related to Oliva.

Cool. Thanks guys.

Tried the Cameroon tonight. Nothing knock your socks off, but a good cigar all in all with a nice taste. I liked the flavor on the Habano a tad better. The burn and construction characteristics were great as with the Hab except for a few slight tears midway through in the wrapper which was rather delicate as most Cameroons are. Total smoke time was 40 minutes.

Have smoked all 3 wrappers mostly in 460 I believe... They lasted upwards 45 minutes for me. The taste was great, up until the end, where it just got way to harsh. I've had some good ones and bad ones... Heard there was a hand rolling promotion going on over at our local smoke shop, so I'll be there buying those.

Cool thing though, you really can stand these cigars up on their ash. I've smoked several and never had to ash it once. (I live in the northeast and it has been perfect weather out for holding ash, besides the past week.)
