Review Notes: Another good Oliva cigar. Compared to other similar Oliva's, the Serie O is not as good as the Serie V, and about as good as Serie G.

Review Notes: Didn't pick up any strong flavor throughout this smoke. Not a bad experience, but nothing to get excited about.

Review Notes: Being a fan of every Oliva I have tried I was looking forward to this stick. However, it just didn't have the flavor of the robusto. The first 1" was pretty much non existent. It did pick up a little woodsy and light tobacco flavor, which were predominant throughout. Some slight sweetness and coffee notes appeared. The last 2" picked up some nice pepper. If you are into mild smokes, try this one. I like a little more flavor and body to my cigars, as my ale overpowered this smoke. The burn and construction were great; no touch ups needed.

Review Notes: Had this one sitting around in the humi and decided to give it a go after dinner. Appearance was flawless, with a chocloate brown wrapper and almost no veins. It reminded me of my first Cuban Montecristo No. 2, the way it looked and felt. (Not exactly the same size, of course, but for some reason, that's what I thought of as I held it.) The draw was tight until I had clipped about 1/2" off the head, then it opened up. First impressions were of pepper and a slight woodiness. The woodiness was the dominant flavor throughout, with a tobacco taste, a slight sweetness like raisins, and not much else. I found it fairly one-dimensional, as these flavors never changed for me. It was smooth the entire length, but the flavors were faint and hard to distinguish. I found it rather boring, as it's a big (6.5" x 52 RG, unlike the description), mild tasting smoke that burned really slowly, taking me over 90 mins to nub. If you enjoy the flavor, though, this smoke is highly recommended. The flavors I could taste were ok and the burn was perfect the whole way. It just didn't have enough pizazz or strength of flavor to keep me interested. If I wanted a smoke around this size and shape, I'd much rather reach for a SCdlH Muralla, as those are much more interesting and enjoyable... But at about 5X the price. I got a nice nicotine buzz from this.. It was mild in the beginning, but turned into a full bodied smoke in the last 3rd. I can't say I'll be buying more of these. I think I'll stick to the robustos, as they're shorter, and I seem to remember enjoying it more.

Review Notes: Outstanding cigar, firm with no gaps and a luxurious brown capa. Upon toasting the foot the aroma wafted in my direction and really added to the experience. It started with ceder and sweetness, and perhaps a little Cuban "twang". Rich and smooth until the first ashing at about 2". That's when a lovely sweet spice appeared on the front and middle of my tongue, and on my lips too. Unfortunately for me, at about the halfway point black pepper began to drown everything else out. Its intensity grew and grew until I was no longer enjoying the experience. At the band I let 'er go. The construction and burn were perfect and it stayed cool all the way. I'd call it a medium to full cigar, and ever so smooth until the pepper. I had the same experience with the Series O 5" x 50 perfecto. I suppose it's just a body chemistry thing. I'll try again one day. Too bad too, because it's a lovely cigar
