Flor de Oliva???

[Architeuthis]

Personally, I prefer the maduro's... <G> Let those other guys have all the corojo's, but send all the maduro's straight to Texas!

Sam,

The B&M that I frequent in Arlington carries all the FDO boxes and bundles with the maduro probably being the favorite, and the corojo being numero dos.
I like corojo, but prefer criollo and/or cameroon. Hell, I like 'em all!

[koapoorpeople]

I like pudding.

i LOVE corojo
if every cigar maker used corojo i would be so happy, rather than those damn maddies you see everyone smoking!

The FDO corojo is a great smoke...under-priced.

I am proud to say I am not in the "In General" crowd with the FDO corojo outselling any other FDO bundle I carry. From a retailer stand point, it is costly to dedicate precious shelf space to product that is continually backordered.

The Flor de Oliva is a great cigar. For a quick 30-45 minute smoke, try the Serie G. A little torpedo shaped cigar that is a great quick smoke to get you by on your lunch hour till you can get home for that nice relaxful 2 hr cigar you've been craving.

I just smoked one this morning. They never seem to disappoint.

i had one today
the robusto corojo
toasty, woody, and a little spice, so not really my style, since i prefer earthy and spicy only

[silentjon-cl]

A co-worker (I didn't even knew he smoked cigars) is giving me a couple. He swears by them.

Flor de Oliva is my go to bargain cigar for sure. I can get most sizes for $2.00-$2.50 here in Austin.

Posted my kudos for these "everyday" sticks on a different thread. I prefer the maduros and always try to keep some in the humi.

[Nittany]

How would you say that these differ from from the regular (higher end) boxed Oliva line (serie G, O, S)? I'm a newbie to Oliva. I bought a sampler box of the higher stuff recently but haven't tried them yet. I'm looking forward to it though since I've been hearing great things about them.

I always have the FdO in my humidor.

[ashauler]

The FdO's, imho, are great low-cost smokes. I too always have some of the maduro's and corojo's in the humi. As far as comparing them to the G-O-Special S's.......the FdO's are not as complex, and being a bundled cigar the construction is, while very good, a little more variable and sometimes you run into soft spots or burn issues...but not enough of them to affect the value in general,at least for me.

I smoked a Churchill Maduro last night during the rain storm. A friend of mine was with me and could not beleive that for only $2.00 this cigar was so tasty and burned very well. Of course we both tasted differnt things. I caught hints of coffee and my friend caught hints of grapes. My fiance' caught tastes of barley and wheat like in a fine beer. It's great to have a budgeted cigar that tastes so well.
