Wasn't a big fan of my first Oliva Serie O Maduro

[zirotti]

Tried a Serie O Maduro I had picked up from a store a few weeks back. Man, I am pretty underwhelmed. Now, to be fair, I LOVE every other Oliva I've ever had. Huge fan of the Conn Reserve as my morning smoke. Love the V. Even a big fan of the Cain and NUBs. But not likin' the O Maduro.

The draw was super super tight. Not sure if this contributed to the struggle to find any real flavors out of it.

Sorry, just some random musings. Anyone else?

I found it just ok. Not in the same league with the V or Master Blend.

Just ordered a couple G torpedos. Really eager to try them.

I've found it to be a solid smoke. Nothing spectacular. Oliva is one of those companys that i just don't care for any of thier maduro wrapper cigars be it the O, G or even V seires.

They do a lot better with about 6 months of humi time makes a HUGE difference.

never had a draw issue fron any oliva, but everyone can make a bad one. the maduro O robusto is go to for me, and a little time goes a long way.

and, @ goingpostal: really?!? even serie V maddies? huh.

I enjoy the O maduro now and then.
I bought 10 in the double toro 6x60 size so I don't smoke them too often.
Mostly when I'm doing something for long periods of time i.e. fishing, golf, etc.

I enjoy the O's from time to time. Was a more frequent visitor to my humidor back in the day. Not a rock your world cigar, but definitely a solid budget cigar. Maybe they're not your cup 'o tea, but given the burn issues you should give 'em another go to be sure.

Just finished an O maduro and it was pretty good. There are definitely things I lik more, but for the price it was a winner. It had been sitting for several months and had zero burn issues.
