Olivia Line

[Kaybee]

I was wondering if anyone could give me a little more insight to the Olivia line. I love the O classics. I had a great guy give me a box once

I know that I don't like the bolds. I smoked about half then ended up throwing up.(I know TMI) Now it may of been because I didn't really eat that day or it could of been too strong. I know I won't like the Maduro

Any input would be great. I wanted to try some different lines.

TIA

If you don't like the bolds, try the O and G series, just not the maduros. At least not yet. Oliva's website says this about the G: "Serie G is a medium body blend made with authentic African-Cameroon wrapper. The unique flavor notes of theis wrapper are complimented by the natural richness of Nicaraguan Habano fillers.
Blending Notes: Medium body with notes of cedar and coffee
Aging: Cameroon is a thin wrapper with little oils, its flavor will changed little from aging."
And, Serie O
"Serie O is a Nicaraguan Puro. Made in the original Cuban tradition of growing the same Habano seed in diverse regions of the country to produce a distinct blend. This blend was achieved by growing Habano in Esteli, Condega and Jalapa Valley.
Blending Notes: Notes of dark tobacco with spice and rich cedar
Aging: Puros should be aged at generous humidity levels (70-78%) to preserve the natural oil."

I think both these descriptions are accurate and would consider them medium bodied cigars. They are wonderfully constructed, good flavor without being unable to hold your attention.

thank you Scott for the input

As far as the maduros, I like the Gs better than the Os and they are cheaper. The maduro is a fairly mild one but has good taste.

I smoked an O maddie last night. I really enjoyed it and would classify it as medium at best.

IMO, darker wrappers do not necessarily equate to being a stronger cigar. But ALWAYS make sure you have a little something in your stomach before you smoke! Then you can concentrate more on the cigar and less on the queasy feeling.

I've smoked the O, S, and G lines and I consider them all to be good cigars, but not great. In my opinion, the prices are a little high.
