"Very nice surprise!!"

So I got this smoke at the Big Smoke in Vegas. It's been in my humi for a month and when I lit t up today I was impressed. Well balanced and medium bodied with hints of sweet coffee. Very smooth with a really nice wrapper. Awesome deal at this price!

"Get it"

I punch cut this cigar, and I must say that I have not had a cigar with such great construction! The wrapper was perfectly oily. The draw was flawless. The taste? The taste was so-so, I think it's a great go-to cigar though, just look at the price!

"Changed My Mind - a great cigar at a great price"

I too had a bad experience with my first robusto. Literally fell apart after 1/2 inch of smoke. I put the rest of the 5 pack in the bottom of the hunidor and forgot about them until I was rotating everything. Picked a robusto, fired it up and I was wowed. Perfect construction, good draw, good but slightly uneven burn. The flavor and aroma are top notch. While not the best I have smoked, it is very nearly the best $5 stick I have smoked. There will definitely be some in my box.

"Great Bang For the Buck"

The Oliva Series O is a great smoke. I've never had problems like people are saying. For 3 bucks a smoke you cannot find a better value out there. I love these things! Is it a Padron no...but it's far from a cheap no name made in the back alley smoke either.

"Very good Cigar for the Money"

Very surprising to see all the negative reviews for this very good puro. I have been smoking these for quite sometime and have never had a bad experience . Consistency is the name of the game with these guys, whether you go with the V the G or the O series. Also the price is right for these as they will not break the bank for a real good enjoyable smoke.

"Ok as a sampler"

This cigar looks great and was looking forward to the flavors.It burned slow ,the draw was OK not the greatest and the wrapper started coming apart towards teh end last 1/3 seems right.Would use caution buying 20 or more.Worth the try

"first time"

This was the first time I can remember smoking an Oliva I got it i a sampler and I did not have any of these problems of falling apart or the like. I did not think it was the greatest nor was it worth the price Oliva like to charge but it wasn't the worst cigar in the world. I would not buy them again but I would like to try some others by Oliva.

"Disintegrated after ten minutes"

My experience with this cigar mirrors that of the reviewer whose stick fell apart. I bought two of them, and they both split and disintegrated less than 1/3 into the smoke. Easily the most poorly constructed cigar I've ever smoked - the fact that it happened with two different samples shows me it was no accident. Very surprised, since Oliva's other lines are incredibly well-made.

"Not that great-a disappointment."

The burn was moderately uneven. The draw was good. The appearance was average. The taste was a disappointment-this was not a full flavored cigar. It tasted pretty bland. The wrapper became unraveled during the last 1/3 of the cigar. I was expecting a lot more from this Oliva Serie O.

"Amazing, considering the price!"

No...this is not the best cigar I have ever had, but for the price, I have no complaints! The flavors are excellent...hence of Cedar, spice, and not too sweet of a finish. Construction is fair. Draw and burn are good, and I believe with a little aging they will be better. It definitely has a spot in my rotation.
