[elderboy02]

Date: 10/24/08

Cigar: Oliva Serie V Maduro (6.5 x 52)

Cost: $8

Drink: Coke

Temperature: 46 F, 10 mph winds

Appearance: 1 banded cigar that says "Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial" on the band. The wapper was smooth with no major veins showing.

Pre-light: Didn't really have any special scent to it. I didn't really pick up any special taste pre-light.

Taste of the cigar: This cigar was chocolatey, spicy, and had a little bit of coffee flavor. It also had a nice sweetness to it. It never got harsh.

Construction: Held an long ash. The draw was perfect. The cigar required a few touchups.

Strength: This was a full flavored cigar. I didn't get a nic buzz from it.

Halfway through:

3/4 through:

Summary: This cigar was delicious. These are better than the regular Oliva V's. I would definitely buy this again. OLIVA NEEDS TO MAKE THESE AGAIN! I give this a 9.5/10.

Thanks for the review. I got about the same, although I did get a little buzz from it.

Gonna let a couple age a little to see any difference.

BTW, one of my locals here in South Jeresy is having an Oliva event on Nov. 7th. PM if interested.

Maybe I needed a drink to go along with it but I disagree with the nicotine buzz, that thing definitely knocked me on my ass.

Nice review. I've had the regular Series V. Looking forward to trying one of those now!
