Olivia Series O

[Highlander]

Lit up one of these tonight and was really pleased.

It looked well made. Prelight draw was good, lit well with an even burn from the get go.

I've not been able to taste things like wood and pepper in a lot of smokes but the initial flavors from this cigar was full of both. The pepper wasn't harsh or overpowering just had a good flavor. This lasted through the first third. Second third the pepper was still present but mellowed out, and the woodiness turned to a creamy flavor. Buy the last third, peppers had given in to full creaminess. There was a ton of smoke as well and the aroma was really nice. I smoked this one down to a nub which is unusual for me and when I tossed it, I really didn't want to but there just wasn't enough to hold on to while walking!

This stick is on my list as soon as I start buying again. For an under 10 dollar smoke, I'd give it really high ratings.

They are a good smoke, I know most people find them boring and very one-note but you could do a lot worse for a $4-$5 smoke.

I had my first one last week... thought it was excellent! Great value for the $

I like the V. The O not so much.

I used to smoke the O's regularly (twice a day at least) for about three months. When I got a good one I got a GOOD one, but I got too tired of the inconsistency. They're a hit or miss I could never buy a box

Great review.

I'm not a fan, but I've never gotten the tastes out of one that you have... now I'm jealous, heh.

this exactly. NOT an excitement smoke. kinda like good background music for while you are doing something: it is there, unobtrusive, but when you DO stop and pay attention to it it is cool. that and the construction make it a GREAT driving cigar.

I prefer the V over the O. But still think the O is good.
