Oliva's In Houston

The Oliva brand cigar has been in my regular rotation since I bought my first humidor. Being addicted to Maduro's, the "O" and "Grand Maduro" have been my regular Oliva sticks. And here's to the guys at Oliva for keeping the prices reasonable and the quality both high and consistent...

Just wanted to give y'all my $0.02 worth of opinion.

Thanks.

Yeah... the Oliva Serie G Camroon Tordepo!!! I bought a box recently... and I feel like this is one of my absolute fav's! every single one with that beautiful box pressed look, veins so minute it looks like maybe blind people felt and decided which wrappers to use... the ash is always strong and consistant, i dont thing ive ever had a bad burn, and the smoke flows like a champ. I have never had a bad one yet. I'm big on the camroons. i know a lot of people lean towards the maduro, but i cant seem to get myself away from these long enough to try a diff one... (maybe a b-day preasent *hint hint* lol) keeping in mind im still getting my taste buds under control... they always for me have a wonderful creamy soft and buttery flavor with hints of pepper and some sort of spice all the way through!!! and i can smoke it anytime... one word summation ---... i guess i cant sum it up in one ibble: now i better go have one

I appreciate the feedback...I am a big fan of our Maduros...They are not overpowering, and the blend allows you to really taste the flavorfull Maduro wrapper.

Since we grow our own tobacco, cure and age our own tobacco, and roll our own cigars, it is possible for us too keep our prices down. We take pride in making premium cigars at reasonable price.

Thanks again for your comments....quick question for you:

Have you smoked the Special S or Masterblend 3? if so what are your thoughts on those?

You summed up a lot of peoples thoughts I am sure...You know I try to smoke a lot of competitor cigars when I get the chance, so that I may be more educated and help make better comparisons and recommendations, and no matter what I am smoking, I can't wait to light up a G. My favorite size is the double robusto, and the figurado.

Thanks again for the comments!

I've had a few of the Master Blends and more than a few of the Special S. Both are excellent, though my price-point for regular rotation cigars is somewhat lower than that. I smoke 3 to 5 cigars a day, and try to keep my wife happy by being budget conscious with my buying. <grumble>

Well then Have you tried any of the Flor do Oliva Bundles? These are premium sticks...Long filler cigars....this was the first cigar we made...no shortness of quality...overseas they come in a box...they come in Sumatra, Connecticut, Maduro, and Corojo wrappers.

It's the best selling bundle in the industry...we sell over 20,000 a month

There's no better place to be, than directly in touch with the people who smoke our cigars...

It's because of people like you and the people in this forum, that drive companies like Oliva to provide the best product we can, at prices smokers can afford.

We listen to the consumers, and try our best to give them what they are looking for.

The best example of this is the new cigar that we will be introducing soon....whoops did I say that outloud?

I think I already gave too much info.
