Oliva Master Blend III Robusto Review (pics)

[jjirons69]

Got this one pay day last Friday from the local B&M. At $9.00 (sans tax), it's on the very high side I want to pay for a smoke. But, been wanting to try one and never see them floating around anywhere.

Vilota: Robusto 5x50

A little line from CI: MB3 is constructed with a lucious sungrown broadleaf wrapper leaf and a Nicaraguan blend of Habano-seed, ligero tobaccos. The result is a beautiful, dark brown cigar that’s bursting with complex, balanced flavor that satisfies the palate with a rich, bold, full-bodied finish.

Inventory is extremely limited.

'Nough said!

It was a little spicy for the first 1/2 inch. Then it settled down and smoked very well. Very good flavors - I agree with the complex statement. Burned well, smoked well, smelled great. I was pleased with it's performance and taste. Now for some pictures:













You can almost smell and taste it, can't you! Oh the power of a picture!

This won't be my last. Kudos to the Oliva gang!!!

Guess the new Master Blend lost the logo on tobacco.

Thanks for the review! I just won a 6 pack of these on CigarAuctioneer.com. It's supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Keep your eyes peeled on there for more auctions as I won my 6 pack for $35.

The Tinderbox near me has these at 30% off. I did like the two I've smoked so far. Very suave.

Super review.

Super pics. WOW, where did you get a camera that takes those close-ups?

[jjirons69]

Panasonic DMC-FZ7 - had it a year and a half. Look for one on sale, search around. I researched for months before I replaced our old camera. I couldn't be more happy with it! I'm still amazed at what it does.

Sorry, John, I think I told you FZ5.

Your stinking review forced me to burn a MBIII Double Robusto last night...hope your happy, I was!! Cigarplace.biz has pretty decent prices on the MBIII's, a box of 20 robusto's @ just under $120.
