"oliva series o"
a lot of bad reviews on this cigar for construction issues.I have burned through a box of churchills and a box of robustos with not one failure.As a matter of taste,they are not my favorite oliva and are very strong.for the price,quality of construction,burn with very little touchup I love olivas.often when sampler packs are purchased they need to be humidored for a while,most likely the problem not the cigar itself........

"Great Smoke"
Got two of these is a sampler. Already being a huge fan of Oliva cigars, I had high expectations from this and I wasn t disappointed. The flavors were complicated, but still very good with nuttiness and leather abound. Lots of creamy smoke from a robusto. The burn line was perfect until the bottom third when things got a little out of line. A quick correction was all that needed. Burn time was about an hour, which was perfect for this 35 degree wintry afternoon. Oliva did not let me down and I will continue to try all they have to offer. I will buy this again if ever on sale.

"Outstanding"
Everything was very good or exceptional about this cigar, smoke a few before you settle on a rating. I couldn t believe how consistent the flavor and the burn was all the way through. Full flavored, delicious

"Eeeehh!"
Would take it if it was offered to me but will not choose it on my own. The flavor wasn't there for me but everyone's taste is different. Had a great appearance and the draw was OK but had a little trouble with the burn. It may pair better with a dry white wine.

"Awesome!"
Got a 5 pack and they have been resting in the humi for a month now. The flavor was awesome. The draw was excellent.

"Pretty Decent, Def not great"
Based upon the reviews I would say most are pretty accurate. The draw was not what I was hoping for and was tough at times. Flavor was pretty bland. The wrapper came undone when halfway through. The cigar did not draw well and could not maintain a good even burn and ash. I did not need to relight which was the one positive. I did not have to pop a blood vessel to draw on it either. Not bad, but not very good for Oliva.

"not what I was hoping for"
Was looking forward to this and was unfortunately was dissapointed. Smoked this with a stone ipa. Had to work to hard to make this a decent smoke. 1 more in the humidor we will see if its any better in a month or two.

"Was expecting much better"
Got this as part of a sampler, from the other reviews I was looking forward to it. Looked good and started off pretty decent, but that's where it ended. Very uneven burn from this one. Felt like I was going to get a headache from how hard I had to draw on it. About halfway through, the wrapper split and slowly came undone. Pretty bland flavors. Went out about 3/4 of the way through and had to relight. Very bad tunneling during the second half. Surprised by this, as I am a big Olivia fan and some of their other stuff is at the top of my list. Guess that's the point of samplers though.

"Always delivers bang for the buck"
The Oliva Serie O is a very nice smoke for the price. I have a box in my collection and it's my go-to cigar for newbies ... whether it's these guys (Serie O) or a Serie V or a Connecticut Reserve ... it's a fine smoke at a nice price. If you never have, sample a few Olivas, find a favorite and put a nice-priced box in your collection.
