  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Oliva 2009 V

So I stop by my local shop and he finelly gets a box of these in. At $10 a stick I balk at first because I've been burned before spending that on a cigar I read was great. However something kept calling me back to this cigar and I'm glad it did!
First I apologize for the phone camera pics but my wifey had the camera so hear it goes!

Right of the light I could since this was a nice cigar. The draw was perfect not to easy not to hard and the taste of the wrapper itself was very nice. A well built cigar in my opinion. Anyways the cigar burned even all the way and had very nice flavors of nutmeg, coffee, and leather. I would say it was a Med-Full cigar and a pure delight to smoke. The ash was nice and tight with no flaking and just for fun I thought lets see how tight it burned....

Right to the cigar band itself!!!
Bottem line is I really enjoyed this cigar greatly. I wish it wasn't so expensive because I would love to smoke on atleast once a week. I think Oliva hit this one out of the park and I can't wait to have another!!

Wow nice review, ciggy. I had a chance to grab some but I passed on them. Hopefully Binny's still has some in when I go there.

It is definitely my favorite Olivia out there. Of course the first one I had was the night I passed boot camp and anything would have tasted great after a couple month dry spell. But the subsequent ones I have had all were in line with your review.

I have had both and the 09 V Maduro is WAY better than the 08! Much more powerfull and robust flavors!
