i just got my hands on a un opened box of olivia O bolds with the blue wrapper ( maduro ). the back of the box says 2002 as the shipping date. i know they were a 5 year old cigar to start with so that makes mine 13 years of age. i cant find alot of info on the cigars othere then most people think that the new O is just the same with a new box and band. i have smoked both and this is a much better full flavored cigar. should i smoke them of hold on to them as an investment. if anybody has more info that would be great.
to smoke or to save

I don't believe in investment cigars. I buy them to smoke. Some times they get more age as I take too long to smoke em but I don't look at them as an investment at all.
My advice would be to smoke them and enjoy them. It's hard for me to look at NC cigars as an investment. Those are very good cigars you have but don't do much good sitting in a humidor. Life is too short not to smoke what you have, good cigars.
true i think im going to crack them open in the morning and let them chill to make sure there back to the right humidity. would still love some more info on then i just know the ones i smoked a few years back were really sharp at the light then just got better and better.

Just curiosity on my part, why not NC's?
But I do agree that you buy cigars to smoke and enjoy them!

Larry, there's no international market for vintage or collectible N/C cigars like there is for Cuban cigars. Perhaps I shouldn't say "no". Rather, there's such a SMALL market for collectible N/C smokes on the global level.
You beat me to it. What he said.
sorry i was gone for the weeknd got to smoke a few will do a review with pics hopefully tommorow. with pictures of the box and such. oh and on a funny note went to a gentlmens club last night i was smoking one of the oliva O's and one of my friend was smoking a black and mild and the manager of said establishment asked him to put it out. Because the girls thought it stank. hahahahahahahaha
They aren't that rare, actually. You can still buy them online at one site that I know of.
Just smoke them. They are good smokes.
