Oliva Serie V Special V Figurado Review

[baddddmonkey]

The Oliva Serie V Special V Figurado could be explained in just one word. WOW!

The Serie V was figurado shaped, was a massive 6" x 60, and packed full of flavor! The draw was a little tight at first, but opened up after the first inch or so. It didn't burn so well, but that doesn't bother me too much.

One thing I noticed was little hints of cocoa, and massive amounts of just pure earthyness. That is just the easiest way to describe it. The Serie V had a bit of smooth spicyness that I have seem to be really enjoying lately. I really suggest trying one as soon as you can, you will not be disappointed.







Truely Amazing!

Thanks Bill, I'm feeling a bit better. Been away from the smokes too long. I felt a little light headed after I was done smoking that monster. But it sure as hell was worth it, and definately hit the spot. I'm glad I decided to go with that instead of the 5 Vegas Relic I was gonna smoke.

Thanks for the review. This is currently my favorite smoke but I've been finding some similar pleasures in the Cusano line for a lot less money. I bought a big assortment from CI and I've been really enjoying every damned one of 'em.

Great review.

Might have to pick some up this weekend!

One of my favorites, but I need to cut that damn nipple off before lighting. Thanks for the review.

Nice review Ben and I have to agree a damn fine cigar.

I have bought a couple of these at the local B&M and took them down to the water frount for a long lunch break. I skipped lunch to smoke them, and that was a mistake as they both kicked my ass.

Good job!

Yea I agree with you on that. I usually like them, but not on my cigars. Found that out the hard way. Once it got past the nipple, it was excellent!

Nice pics

Nice review, this is a great stick.

[DoctaJ]

One stick I consistently hear great things about. I'll have to give it a go sometime. Thanks for the photo review!

I smoked a few and agree with the review. Nicely earthly flavor and the stick does pack a punch.

I tried one of these last night. Agree with all your observations except you mention that the burn wasn't so good. Mine burned flawlessly.

Great review.

Agree with all your points. Love that sweet earthy taste they give off. The two that I have had also had some burn issues (one more than the other). I wonder if a little rest won't cure them of that.

I have a box of these resting away.
