Re: The official Oliva Cigar thread
I am wondering if the old Oliva "O" Bold (with the red cloth band) can still be found in ANY place at all anymore...I used to love this cigar and I don't understand why Oliva discontinued it. I don't think the New O is the same blend, based on what I've tasted. Maybe, just maybe we could convince the family to put it out again, or a cigar with the same blend?
If anyne knows where I can still find these (a lot of un-updated sites claim to have them, but then they tell me they don't when I ask). Or, if anyone actually has these in their 'dor and are willing to part with them, that would be great.
Thanks....

Re: The official Oliva Cigar thread
I picked up a fiver of the Robusto O's from the devil site for $15. They are sitting in the Humi as I speak and then I grabbed a Master Blend from my local B&M. I love this product, all Olivas are great!

Anytime I have seen anybdy ask this question in the past anybody from Oliva will tell you it is the same blend. The Red band is the Serie O and the Blue is the Serie O Maduro.

Re: The official Oliva Cigar thread
Hey that's great, but what is the "Devil site" you are talking about? I never heard of it. Do they have the Old Bold's there?

As for the Old O Bold being the same as the New O, I am not sure you are correct--the Old O "classic" IS the same as the Serie O (although some have said even that blend has changed too.). But there is no new "Serie" version of the "O" Bold which was a different blend than the O classic.
The New Serie O, from what I've read, is an SG Habano wrapper with Habano filler and Binder.
The old O Bold was a Nic. SG wrapper, Mexican binder and Mex/Nic filler.

Re: The official Oliva Cigar thread
I got to meet a rep from Oliva in Gettysburg. Seemed like a nice guy, didn't get to talk to him, because there was an Oliva event and Oliva also supplied the cigars for the cigars and brandy event at the Gettysburg Reenactors' Appreciation Weekend...

I really enjoyed it, as well as the O that I had at the C&B event!

Re: The official Oliva Cigar thread
Smoked the new Connecticut last week. Not bad. A little mild for me, but the finish blew a little pepper in my nose! The burn, draw, and construction were excellent!

Not correct, the O BOLD was indeed a different blend that was discontinued.
