The illusive Olivia Serie V Maduro

I've spent all evening trying to find a few of these on-line. I only have a few shops that I usually hit-up and none of them have this smoke. I'm overseas and just trying to get my hands on a few of these before I throw down for a whole box (if they're as good as they sound, I'm sure I will). Any help from those of you with more on-line shopping experience is greatly appreciated. Thank all of you in advance!

I dont think that you would be able to find them online... They are VERY limited on what they give stores. In our store here i believe we only got 4 boxes

Honestly, the whole box is only 10 cigars and should run you about 85 bucks.

If you are overseas I would shoot for the box from the start, and yes they are GREAT smokes.

You will not regret purchasing the V's

The Serie V Maduro is not allowed to be sold online. So if you do them online they came from a third party not from Oliva. The places that you said you do shop at, if they have B&Ms give them a call because they prob have them and just can't sell them online. But if you call them they can do phone sales.

That's not entirely correct. If a licensed Oliva shop has an online site, they were allowed to put them online, as long as they followed the guidelines that we have.

To the original poster, at this point, your likely not going to find them online. The shops that did get them, and posted them online, sold out within days, some within hours. However, I may have a shop that could help you out. PM sent.

Hey Ian the reason I thought that was because my local B&M has them, and he sales online. The only time he normally would not sale online is when the manufacturer would tell him not to. But in this case I guess he just decided he didn't want to. Sorry I mislead.

Not a problem. We had so little of them to spread throughout the country that we suggested they don't sell them online, however, if retailers wanted to, they were allowed. Most chose not to, but some did.

No, those are regular Serie V torpedo's. Notice they are a 24 count box. Maduro's are 10 count boxes.

I just got back from Syracuse (I see you aren't too far from there) and picked up a few of these at North Salina Cigars. They still had a box and a half left. So if you are in Syracuse (851 North Salina Street) in the near future you might get a few there.

I've heard alot about the Olivas and i'm so wanting to grab any of them. Lately the Serie V maduro has been spoken about like it was the Holy Grail. Hope you find them.

The V Maduro is a great cigar, but it is not the holy grail. If you like full-bodied cigars you'll enjoy them, but trust me, the regular V is better.

Not trying to discourage you, but if you can't land a box, it's not the end of the world.
